Favre4vr's HOF slider tweaks

Re: Favre4vr's HOF slider tweaks

Played a game with errors at +5. Spring training, my Royals at "home" against the Padres.

Padres 12 14 0
Royals 2 3 0

W: Young
L: Bautista

Notes:
• I unleashed NINE wild pitches this game! I'd never had a huge problem with this before, but I could get pitches even close this game. Also gave up six walks.
• I "only" struck out 14 times this game, lol. Getting better...
• Young had a one-hit shutout going into the ninth. Buck walked, then Mientkiewicz hit a two-run bomb.
• Padres had two doubles and a homer.

Still need more games to get batting down. Didn't seem like the increasing of the error slider had any effect, but it's only one game.

Ryan--Thanks for the feedback. I have had struggles with Posada since the upping of the errors...I don't know if it's related or not. I'm off to play...I will post some results later.

I was impressed that you got 90 games in already--I wish I had that time...are the errors that you are getting varied like throwing, groundballs etc. or are they alot of flyball drops? It's weird, since I upped it to 18, I have only had a few dropped fly errors but when I had it originally, I had more errors and more varied...Just trying to find the right mix, ya know?

Re: Favre4vr's HOF slider tweaks

Yes, they are quite varied

So for

Pat Burrell -pop up
Abreu off throw
a RP on the Dodgers off throw on pickoff the 1st
Rollins bounced throw past 1b
Howard drop at 1st
Jeff Kent bobble

Wild Pitches are the users fault, you should NOT try to max the meter and throw breaking balss with men on base...you should NOT max the meter and 'pinpoint' breaking balls at all in later innings if your confidence or endurance is low

and of course the more you put into a pitch the harder the break...so it may fly



I have time since I am waiting on a Federal position, so alot of background checks etc.

Re: Favre4vr's HOF slider tweaks

Just did a little research before I went off to play. I think we are making a bit too big of a deal about errors. On baseball reference.com, I looked up the errors made by each team. The highest was KC with 125. Over 162 games, that's 0.77 per game. Meanwhile the Yankees had only 95 errors all season--0.58 errors a game.

I know I lost sight of the fact that errors are not really common in games. Sure, you get your games with 3-4 errors, but those are indeed rare. I am willing to bet that this game will show this as it does pretty much everything else right. I am going back to my original settings for a while. If I go errorless in 10 straight games, I will up it by two and do the same thing. BTW--If you look at the errors for a team, OF's by far have the lowest number of errors on the team.

Cool man. Good luck with the position. I hope it all works out.

Re: Favre4vr's HOF slider tweaks

Played two games vs. the Angels tonight. I had one error in the first game (GB through the legs of Cabrera)...None in game two. Everything else was good. First game went 17 innings...I finally pulled out a "W". Second game I got owned by Bartolo Colon 4-0.

Ha, I guess that explains why I thought errors were too few in this game... I've watched far too many Royals games. Angel Berroa and Emil Brown really know how to pull that fielding % down.

Re: Favre4vr's HOF slider tweaks

With errors on 18

I have 16 errors in 30 games as the Phillies

for a 0.533 error per game ratio

The Phillies defense is ranked 25th

So hopefully I get more errors...when I am at the allstar break I will look again

But I should have close to that .77 error ratio...which mean I should have an error every 1 1/3 games

I guarantee that on default...you will never see 1 error, every 3 games

We'll see what goes. It's an interesting discussion. BTW--My errors are not on default, they're at 13-15. At 13, I already had a natural error and my catchers weren't missing EVERY ball in the dirt. Whatever works, everyone is different.

LOL--Stick with the Royals, I bet you they win a championship before my Knicks do! If their young pitchers ever stay healthy and sane, they would be ok.

Re: Favre4vr's HOF slider tweaks

Just played a game with your sliders. I lost 1-0 in the bottom of the 9th. I was the Cubs vs Boston. They had 1st and 2nd with 1 out and Ortiz came up. I still had Prior in cause he was throwing well. Get Ortiz to ground into what seemed like a sure fire DP. Well the animation where the fielder lets the ball go throw him happened. Damn! Well it loaded the bases for Manny. Well I also get him to ground to D Lee. I think I can get two for sure so I throw to second and back to first and I thought I had him, but I guess he barely beat the throw! Tough loss, but very enjoyable!

on page one you have errors at +3, but now since its 13 that means 13 clicks from default right?
Just making sure.
