Simulated Miscellaneous Stats

PostFri Nov 07, 2014 7:15 pm

Is there a wiki page available for this section? I'm also trying to figure out how to utilize this section for mystery card games.

Pitchers:
Ground Balls/Fly Balls/GIDP - Not sure how to utilize this stuff if it's even possible. I'm guessing it's just informative info.

Rolls - If the pitcher is performing poorly and but has more hitter rolls than pitcher rolls would it be safe to say that this could be considered a period of bad luck? Also applies to hitters.

Hitters:
Baserunning - If the opportunities are high and the advancements and outs are low it might be a good idea to consider increasing the base running tendencies. Of course, this also depends on the opponents OF arms and ballpark.

One more thing. I imagine having this info separated per series or even per game would be even more golden. This applies to mystery games. I think non-mystery games do cover this info in the play by play accounts to some extent.

The most important information to me on the Miscellaneous tab is whether or not a player has hit a ballpark homerun. If he has, I can eliminate seasons that are W/W or just W if the homerun is know to have been on the W side (if that makes sense!)

A lesser thing I look at is if the hitter has been unlucky (or lucky) with ballpark singles. It isn't usually a factor, but it can be. For example, if a hitter is say 0 for 6, I mentally adjust his batting average up. I'll do the same with a power hitter by checking how well he has done with ballpark homeruns.

You already mentioned checking out to see if the pitcher vs. hitters rolls are unfavorable.

Like coyote, I use the rolls to help differentiate between bad performance and bad rolls. Mind you, it's just one aspect of the rolls -- but an important one. If your team goes a couple of hundred rolls up or down, it's a factor in your W/L record.

Pretty safe, although it depends on who the hitter and pitcher are on a particular roll. I think John McDonald (BA: .115) vs. Vance Worley (ERA 7.21), the batting team is hoping for a pitcher roll.

I'm assuming the Ballpark FX opportunities are a combination of pitcher rolls and batter rolls? Even so, if a pitcher has a pretty high BPHR opportunity number there's still a pretty good chance the year might fall on a card with high ballpark diamonds, right?

The GIDP amount can also be a clue of what year it might be too.
