Can someone please explain to me why the live scoring is different from the next day's standings/totals? Last night before I went to bed I had a 1.1801 whip and today it is 1.1859. Also, my era went up from the final tally on live scoring last night? I had 12 pts in ERA at 2:00 am and woke up this am and now have 11?
Anyone else noticing this?
thanks
Live Scoring????
Live Scoring????
could be a couple of reasons
1. The live scoring is generated by an UNOFFICIAL stats stream done real time by people watching the game, therefore mistakes can be made.
2. A hit could have been changed to an error or vice versa after the game by the official scorer (possibly impacting an earned versus unearned runs) which would not have been accounted for in the live stats stream but would have been reflected in the overnight update's official stream. I am guessing this was the reason.
Basically, it is best to treat the live scoring as "entertainment purposes only" as it is not the official stream of statistics, it is done as best as possible real time by stringers. The final stats are checked and rechecked by the various services before they are released as official.

Live Scoring????
Thanks Todd but the stats haven't changed from last night. All hits and earned runs were accounted for. I don't understand this actually.
The team that was behind me in ERA is no in front of me despite all stats being the same ones as those recorded by live scoring. My WHIP as well is half a point greater.
I will email Greg.
thanks.

thanks The programming sucks.
In the live stats, 1.1 IP is calculated as 2.0 IP. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Also, all standings reports, league, overall, are wrong because they don't use enough decimal places.I'm not talking live here.
There are three teams at .2830 in the overall standings. They are marked as tied and I doubt they are with this many AB's.
There are SEVEN of these bogus ties in the Top 50 in BA alone. 17 in top 100. 30 in Top 150. What a f'n joke.
WHIP and ERA do not have that many, but one error is too many. This is a national contest with very much less than accurate standings.
When you have several teams tied in any of those cats, the actual standings places could be wrong from 1-25 spots IMO.
Irritates the hell out of me that I'm a stickler for these things and the programmers and operators can't see these things from day one.
I also might have won a fathead last week and could win another this week. WTF is so hard about programming stats by period?? :rolleyes:
