text error on player pages

drprestwood · 02-28-2003, 08:00 PM

When clicking on the "pitching stats" label on any particular player page, the text label on the left (in the same row as the sorting buttons) reads "OVERALL BATTING," just as it does with the batting stats category.

Attention to detail...this is why I should be a beta for v6.

a bonus...in the player descriptions, there are some errors...which could be corrected as follows:

"He get's the bat on the ball most of the time."
Should be: gets

"He's only got average speed, but his ability to read pitcher's moves is uncanny."
Should be: pitchers'

"Don't count on any fielding awards at first baseman"
Should be: first base (i assume this type of change is also needed with 2B/3B/OF positions)

"[name] is the kind of guy most manager's would love to stick in the middle of the order."
Should be: managers

"This is a guy fans come to the park just to watch him abuse fastballs."
Should be: i don't know. it's awkward construction above. i know what it's trying to say, but it's not right...perhaps "this is a guy for whom fans come to the park..."

One more for the crew:

I thought it was kind of funny when the player description told not to "count on any fielding awards at designated hitter."

Well, there goes that plan!

In stories:

THE CYCLE
"[Team] certainly agrees as [Team]'s [Player Position] unloaded [X] hits and hitting for the cycle."
Should be: "and hit for the cycle."
and
"An RBI [Hit] off [pitcher name] in the [Inning] inning, accounted for his [Xth] hit."
Should be: Same, but with no comma.

PITCHER OF THE MONTH
"Winner of this months [League Name] Pitcher of the Month..."
Should be: "of this month's..."

SHUTOUT
"[Team] improved it's record to..."
Should be: its, not it's.

Also, it's always seemed odd to me when the headline about the PoM/PoW doesn't match the picture of that player. Seems they should match and just totally neglect the other winner.
