Nomo,
Thanks for your feedback! As you know I try and combine your in-depth statistics with the "eye test". I just felt that at FR - 4 it did not have the flow that the game should have and many plays looked odd (balls rolling past infielders as they stand still watching them). Putting SH back to 4 has reduced the number of infield singles but also put back in the number of outfield singles so that was my reasoning for going back to FR - 5 and I think it might give a better look to the game and a bit more realism than dealing with the infield singles. Of course when I raised FR back to 5 the outfielders were cutting too many balls off in the gaps and down the lines so that was my reasoning for dropping the fielder run speed one notch down to 3. FRS doesn't seem to affect the infielders nearly as much as the outfielders. I watched two games this morning and it produced a good result although one of the games was in Detroit and there were two triples to right-center but that is more a product of the field than the sliders, that park is huge in that section of the outfield!
One other thing I noticed in doing my testing from before with SH 4 vs SH 3....I had many more strikeouts with it set to SH 3, in the 40 game test at SH 3 I was up around 7.3-7.4 while I was closer to 6.9-7.0 with SH 4. Is this consistent with your findings?
When I look at the replay vault I don't see too many inconsistencies with how they label the hits but that doesn't necessarily mean they are charting them in the pitcher analysis the same as they are labeling them for replay.
