Major bug found@@@@

Re: Major bug found@@@@

I heard that back in the day, around Babe Ruth era, that walks counted as hits, which contributed to these old-timers batting around .360 all the time. Anyone else know about this?

Hmm, rather odd. Never heard that one.

Actually guys, reaching on an error doesn't count towards your on base percentage. It goes down as an 0 for 1 in both batting average and on base percentage. On Base percentage is figured by taking hits+walks+hit by pitches/plate appearances. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Anyways, yes, an Error = an AB. An AB where you went 0 for 1 because you did not receive a hit.

If a pitcher throws a no hitter but someone gets on base via an error then that pitcher is still credited with a no-hitter. Because the pitcher gave up zero hits, yet someone got on base via error.

Baseball statistics are all about assigning CREDIT and BLAME.

Fielding percentage? How often a player makes the catch.

Batting average? How oftend does the player get a hit (hit as in an H, not a physical hit.)

That's why ERA, a very standard measure of pitching ability, doesn't factor in unearned runs, because the pitcher has no control over UNearned runs, so cannot be responsible for them one way or the other. Since ERA is meant to reflect the runs a pitcher gives up, factoring in runs some fielder gives up would destroy its value as a stat.

Re: Major bug found@@@@

if a player reaches on an error his batting stats should read 0-0 but in the game it reads 0-1. This is wrong and it really screws up the batting avg
