oddities with ballpark values
Posted: Sun Apr 17, 2022 2:15 pm
I just so happened to notice some really odd things happening with ballpark rolls last night.
In one series, I noticed missing out on a multitude of 1-18 bp singles in Forbes 65 as the two teams went a combined 0-4 on those chances. It could happen. Its literally a 0.0001 chance of getting 4 in a row, but possible.
But then this happened.

In the bottom of the 5th Darrel Porter was out on a ground out to the pitcher. But the ballpark is a 1-20 bpSI for lefty
D.Porter 4-11 Ground Out (P) b-0 bpSI 1-20 F9
Must be one of those rare super rules pitcher adjustments, right. But then next game the same thing happened to Bobby Murcer

B.Murcer 4-4 Ground Out (P) b-0 bpSI 1-20 F9
and finally in game 3 of the series, there were several lefties who got the bp single on a 1-20, but Porter missed out again.

So overall for the series, it appears that lefties went just 4-7 on 1-20 bpSI chances which seems...odd
I am hoping there is a simple explanation but I am somehow just missing it.
