ERA league leader does not qualify

Eric · 06-21-2006, 01:19 AM

I'm running with the 1st patch. I did a historical replay with 2004 players (using Lahman's database) and an inaugral draft. I did autosim up to the All-star game (about 100 games into the season).

The ERA leader is somebody I don't recognize - B. Seay (CHA). I open up his report and see that he's just a middle reliver who has only pitch 37 innings.
What's interesting is that the top 4 guys are on the American League (CHA, KCA, DET, OAK) and are all relievers! The ones that follow are from the National League and they have pitched enough innings to qualify.

I'm thinking that the equation used to determine the ERA leader for League 1 (which is the American League) doesn't do the math for qualifiying correctly.

I would call this a bug, considering you are looking at "qualified STARTING pitchers."

However, he may be a reliever being used as a starter, but I'm pretty sure that, after 100 games, 37.1 IP is not enough to qualify.

This is the eventual ERA leader. Appeared in 53 games, pitched 51.2 innings.

Well... it is a good ERA. But doesn't really qualify him for any award other than an "'at a boy" and a slap on the rear....

Raidergoo - any TT# for this one?

FYI the correct qualification math in MLB is 1 inning per team game, or 3.1 plate appearances per team game for hitting stats.

53 G, 51.2 IP does not qualify, no matter which way you slice it.

As I mentioned in my first post, the team had already played 100 games so the qualification should be 100 innings.

In my 2nd post, the player won the ERA crown for that year which should have had a 162 inning cutoff.

Just an update - when I look at the ERA leader in the 'History' web page, the ERA leaders are calculated correctly. I also dumped the data out and checked it via Access and the data looks correct.

The strange part is that the player HTML web page still has the incorrect information in the leaderboard appearances.

Does anybody know what data is used to generate the player HTML's leader appearances section?

Eric,

I'm sorry for the awfully slow response to this thread.

Obviously, some time has passed since you posted this issue, and the 1.0.2 patch has since been released as well. Are you still seeing this issue? I have not been able to reproduce it so far.

Please let me know!

Thanks,

Steve

I haven't seen this issue pop up again. You can close it. I'll open another thread if I see it again.
