Postseason Tweaks

Posted by Sean Forman on October 2, 2009

I've been making some updates and improvements to the postseason stats on the site.

First off, the playoff stats on the player and postseason summary pages now match what we have in our pbp database. In the past, these were essentially two different sources with some crossover. It all now jibes with our pbp database. The main changes are that 1981 is not messed up for pitcher IP's as it was, the recent years have full stat lines, we now have wpa info for the 1914 WS. The fact the Braves played in Fenway messed things up and we got that fixed.

Second, I have added a best_of column to our database, so you can now search for just game 7's (or 5's) in the Game Finders and Postseason Event Finders.

I've re-run all of the postseason pages, so they should be ready to roll for next week.

    Suggestion: have you considered most common lineups and defensive alignments against left- and right-handed pitchers?

    Charlie,

    We have the handedness of the opposing pitchers listed on the lineup pages year-by-year.
