cobb question?

[scorehouse]

in the new atg 4, cobb was 83 sbs with 0, that's zero caught stealing. why is he not rated an AAA 20-16, 19-15?

Wrong forum for ATG talk but.......they didn't keep track of caught stealing back then which is why it is unknown how many times Cobb was CS.

wrong forum?

Cobb is an ATG player. ATG has their own forum.

........and they have different forums for different games so that people can better get together and talk about specific games. C'mon WGullett it's not that hard to understand. :lol: :lol:

Not hard to understand the concept of having a BETTER forum for the topic but that doesnt make it the WRONG place. This is a strato site and sports forum in general. While there may be the better place to post the question inevitably its all good. Yes, I understand that he isnt in the correct forum but does that make it the "wrong" place? That is what I understand. What I dont understand is why you are correcting him. THAT is what is hard to understand and what you arent understanding by my comment.

Gullett, I answered his question the best I could and gave advice to him that if he posted in the correct forum that he would get a wider range of opinions. What is wrong with that? :?

I was the only person who even attempted to answer his question. I bet if he had posted the same question in the ATG forum (where it belongs) he would have gotten quite a few more responses from that very active group.

Randy, you have answered the question in the wrong forum. :wink:
Get it together man!! :lol:

WGullet, I think you got your question answered. They didn't have a CS stat back in those days. I think Strato just "winged it" by applying a % of what they thought these players did get caught stealing. SOM probably just used formulas based on the earliest years when CSs were finally tallied.
Also, as you probably know, the stealing "Letter" ratings don't matter anyway. The system uses the Super Advanced ratings. In this case, Ty Cobb has a *3-8 "good lead" rating and a (17-16) safe rating. The fact that they didn't give Ty a "19" safe rating tells us that SOM believes he must have been caught about 15-20 times that year.
