Possible Bug in Pbp, Mystery Man Appears

BigLou · 06-06-2006, 09:34 AM

I've played 4 games manually. In all 4 a mystery man named "Davis" will record an out for my team.. Here is the thing though... I do not have a Davis, 1st, or last name on my team, nor is there a "Davis" on the opposing team's roster.

here is a example that goes like this... I'm using lahman's db imported in 1991 season

Bonds hits a pop up to right field, (John Kurk, is my RF) Davis settles under it and makes the grab.

This Davis guy in my next game caught a foul ball behind home plate.

Is this a bug or do I have a really avid fan in Chicago who likes to run onto the field named Davis?

Some have called him a ghost... you've called him a fan... I personally call him a beloved tenth fielder.....

It was found and corrected in the xml text.

so this will be corrected in the next patch or do I have to do this manually?

This is corrected in patch, all you have to do is download the patch when it is released and install the patch.

At a minimum, there were two ghosts named Davis and Drysdale who have been excorcised from english.xml.

Remember, the power of Battist compels you.

Raidergoo,

I've been ignoring this Davis fellow (since I've been keeping up on his existence for days now) but I was wondering if the stats accumulated by Davis are credited to the appropriate fielder?

No big deal if someone's assist totals on my AA team are a bit off, but I was just wondering.

No stats for Davis are accumulated, as the reference to Davis in the pbp is a typographical error that has been detected and removed.

You may see one for Drysdale, if you are sharp eyed. That was corrected, too, I am reliably told.
