These were pretty short posts, for me. The detail is minimal...lol.
Though I did quote your posts, I am also addressing the OP, who expressed frustration at the data he was seeing. The 'detail' in the explanation is an attempt to offer something more to the OP, and others, on his orginal observation. I did not intend my responses to be for your viewing, and your viewing only. It was also not my intention to be confrontational, in any way.

That is fine. As long as the data is correct and calculated correctly, I do not think there is a problem. This is quite different than the awful scoring of earned runs as unearned that turned into a forum dispute over what stats people should care about (which was not the point). I spent hours reviewing my data on that issue before I presented it. Then hours more responding to Marcus to make sure what I was seeing was an OOTP issue and not simply a user issue.
Lo and behold, Marcus found a code error that he thought had been previously corrected and issued a patch that corrected probably 99% of the earned run as unearned scoring errors that were taking place (another example of why this game totally rules!).
In that case the data was being recorded in error, which resulted in calculations based on that data to be in error. Here, we have the data being recorded correctly and the resultant calculated outputs being correct.
The point of the detail here (and this is a good discussion) is to alleviate the concerns of the OP and others that there is something broken with his bull pen stats and that what he sees in his BP stats are not reflective of the games he spends time playing.

I don't think there is anything wrong with asking, either. However, it is not a statistical output corrupting bug that is at issue here, which I believe is what was feared by previous posters. I think this confusion has been cleared up, and any priority for 'correcting' this display would properly be a low one.
Is a "situation" an "opportunity"? I guess it depends on how you look at it......
