No Garcia's blog today?

Topic #2000
Nothing to see here

I'm not sure I like the new bar charts---it doesn't look consistent---I assume for now the BP chances are 8 on the FA lists--they seem to be different on my teams--not sure if it is in my home BP yet--I haven't had time to add them. The difference between parks may be even more confusing if they add BP chances in.

Don't care for the bar charts or drop/add buttons. Am I wrong or has there been zero blogs about the daily Game since it started?

It seems all 2015 players have BP HR at 28% in the bar chart---in other words 8 BP HRs adds 2.25 HRs to the bar chart which is equivalent to a split of 5.6 of 20----so it doesn't even fall on an integer number of 1 to 20 (for us old split card guys)--I don't know, but is that the average HR park for the league in 2015??--seems low to me.

The bar chart does not reflect an "average" park, it reflects what is on the card if you were not using ballpark effects at all

No, Steve, that was Garcia's post about: they changed the bar to reflect the performance under an average stadium.

I don't think so. re read it and look at the Mantle card

Well, crystal clear to me. Mantle has 15.3 direct chances of hr vs rhp, but the charts won't give that number anymore. Instead, SOM is adding 3.2 chances for a sum of 18.5 as if the charts assume a 1-8 homerun stadium 8 * 8 / 20 = 3.2

which sucks, rather they just left it and let us add our own ballpark to the values. or have some way to adjust it to the park you've chosen....but that might be a little too complicated coding for them.


and I still don't know why they can't add the hbp ratings to the walks. that's just annoying

But 1-8 is too low for any average BP . The original was 10 and it's more like 11 or 12 now. OTOH Mantles HR results on those numbers if you weren't playing with ballpark effects is 1-8. And my biggest frustration is how unclear this is explained by Garcia. This move makes the bars more difficult to read, as at least with the old way you could add in the BP numbers your self. I'd rather they have included HBP and showed GBA's
