oddities with ballpark values

PostSun 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.

Porter in the 5th was facing Blyleven , got a roll of 5-10, which is a gbx on Blyleven's card vs a lefty (If I have this example correct in my head). I have to say , I'm confused.

One of Porters was against Boddicker, and was a 4-11 which is a ballpark single roll. In the 3rd game, Porter had a 5-10 against Ehmke which is also a ballpark single roll.

I just saw someone posted something similar in the barnstormers forum, where there were a bunch of failed homers in Polo 41 and a bunch of successful singles. Go take a look, it might be odder than mine

Both examples are bizarre, and I must say I've never seen anything like it. Might be a good question to ask support.
The only thing wonky I've seen lately is my assigned backups not being used for injured players. I did send those examples to support.

I had a game last night where 2 HRs that were ballpark 1-19 were both flyouts. Weird.

My team had several BP single rolls tonight while playing in Polo '41 (0,0,20,20) and while several of them were outs, there were 1 or 2 in each of the 3 games where a BPSI roll of 0 resulted in a single. All were 1 run games (2 went into extra innings), so these singles may have made a significant difference.

I'm getting the feeling that something is broken. To my knowledge, this has never happened before the last few days.
