Weird chemistry observation

SidHickenbottom · 03-03-2019, 11:43 PM

I checked team chemistry today to note that my bench coach has a good relationship with every batter on the active roster, and a bad relationship with every pitcher on the active roster. The team is in the middle of a budding dynasty, four straight division titles, back to back trophies, but I'm not so sure about this.

Is he a former player? I feel like I see that often enough for bench coaches that are former hitters or pitchers, they tend to get along with whatever side they played on in their career. As long as people aren't complaining in emails to you and you are winning I wouldn't worry about it. Winning should keep everyone happy.

Yup I think you might have nailed it. Def seen that exact thing before.

it's the unseen skew of their ratings.

if heavy teach batting and low teach pitching etc or roster strat related etc... could use trial and error to be certain. it will help you determine their unseen ratings to some extent throught he words used to describe them...

it's correlated that most batters that turn to coaches are better at teaching batting and favor hitting over pitching on roster strategies, but not guaranteed.

the ratings and sliders cause what you read/see in coach profiles. (at the very least factored by overall personality -- controlling, personable etc... e.g. change that guy to controlling and the list of 'good' gets a few names shorter in most contexts)

also, that screen isn't clearly stated. it just says better and worse? or good and worse? worse is a comparitive term.. it doesn't always mean bad. e.g. 101/200 is worse than 110 / 200, but not really... both are > 1/2 and similar. i don't know if a 10pt spread is enough to cause a 'favor XXX' verbage in profile or cause a more positive relationship etc... just that it is the cause for sure... the results are predictibly recreatable, if you put in the effort to figure it out.

it's not unusual for a controlling manager to have more 'worse' relationships than 'good' ones according to that screen. even in that context, it can say it's a positive environment for teaching or whatever is summarized on that screen in words. even with a majority "worse" relationships, team chemistry can still be rising...

and, that's all that really matters is the culmination of all the drips into the bucket relating to team chemistry and a microcosm of that -- individual morale.
