I'd be glad to edit Diamonddope to reflect what the splits should be, if given the information.

If you open the cards and choose a park with no ballpark singles (Candlestick 78 or Polo 41), then the graphs show the correct singles chances. The affected cards are the ones Marc lists plus Pedro Guerrero.

Although thinking about it more you probably want the exact splits to enter rather than the total singles. Not sure of an easy way to get those other than extrapolate from the graphs.

My extrapolator is broken ;)

Just invert your interpolator. Works great. Ha

BTW...anyone hear from marcpelletier recently? I thought he was a physician and not especially old. I think he also played as luckyman, no? And marcuswilby? (I think was homage to Marcus Welby MD)

He was always supremely helpful. One of the many people who assisted me when I first started this online thing a couple decades ago. Along with people like Penngray, coffeeholic, Petrosian, J-Pav, gkh11da, DeanTSC et al were always helpful.

But marc was always freely sharing insightful analyses. At the same time, he never demanded he was correct, but he always seemed eager to test his results in public, like an RFI. He wanted scrutiny and critical inspection. He was engaged and engaging that way.

Anyway, hopefully he is ok. I wasn't in his circle so I wouldn't know if he just stopped, or passed, or whatever.

His last post was in 2020. He is absent from the boards for years at a time and then returns. So I would bet on "whatever" as far as your choices go. He'll be back.

Coincidentally, I've used his interviews with the Ultimate Strat Baseball Newsletter as the last 2 posts in the Strategy Forum/Newbie Advice thread. Look at the top of that page (13) for a link to see Hal the Real rolling dice.

I agree about penngray. On the old, old boards, he was very helpful. He had one of the earliest draft sites that was used
for keeper leagues. He hasn't been hereabouts in forever. As is the case for DeanTSC.

Thanks for that! What a resource. Ah yes--I hope I didn't disparage anyone with my incomplete memory--visick was another always helpful person--and he is still around :) That Penngray draft site--I recall it...but only live drafted a few times. But it was great because TSN didn't have anything. Easy to forget what it was like back then. Like this past outage--heck we had a lot of outages with poor Bernie Hou using bubble gum and masking tape to patch it up.

Well good. Hoping marc is doing well.

I have to say when I see someone's activity fall off a cliff without an explanation, I am a little more sensitive to it than I used to be, following Bruce.

cheers
