No way... I'm gonna get paid!!!

I only have another 419 left... I'm moving right along... not quite as fast as that batter that dives back into third... but still.

I'm used to staring at the computer for too many hours at a time... when you do trial and error programming in access it can be a long road.

"[%game pitcher] snaps it to third...(nl)past [%game thirdbase] and down the line!"
Only 3 occasions where a pickoff to third says it went down the line.

13223
"it gets past [%game thirdbase] and into foul territory!(nl)[%game base1] got a break there!"
The guy on first is wiping sweat off his brow after an error doesn't get his teammate at 3rd.

13228
"it\'s off target!(nl)Over the outstretched glove of [%game thirdbase]...(nl)into foul ground...(nl)[%game thirdbase] had to stretch for it..."
The "had to stretch for it" is redundant.

"[%game pitcher] turns and fires to third...(nl)it gets by [%game thirdbase] and into foul territory!"
This is the same as the last post with pickoffs to 1st. Is this coded to not come up when a righty is on the mound?

13239
"and into foul territoryfield!"
Drop "field"

13153
"[%game pitcher] to third...(nl)[%game batter] back head-first"
The really fast batter problem! He should stay put and let the runner do the diving... this has to take his mind off his hitting.

210
"Pitcher of the Month afer striking out "
Spelling, after

213
329
"Pitcher of the Month by the [%subleaguename] League. "
Don't usually see "League" after [subleaguename]

328
"of the pen gets recogition as Pitcher"

First: Spelling, recognition
Second: Spelling, appearances

Should be "racked up"

"it was a also a virtual lock "
Drop the first "a"

"The [%teamlink nick] are hoping for an equally impressive [%month]."
Maybe "hoping for another equally" ... otherwise when are they hoping for it?

2216
2223
"and held opponents to a [%pitching avg] this year."
Held opponents to a .327 this year. .327 what? Should have identifier after, AVG or BA...

2219
"surrendered [%pitching ha] hits over a course of [%pitching ip] innings"
Over the course

2226
"tossed [%pitching ip] innings with [%pitching ha] allowed"
20 innings with 20 allowed .... that's a lot of innings to allow.

Should say "hits allowed"

2974
"came to his team\'s rescue on [%pitching g] times and sealed down the victory on [%pitching s] occasions "
Other objects in this category using this kind of wording make a little more sense. The reference [svo] instead of [g]

2980
"[%personlink] had a marvelousl [%leagueyear] "
Spelling, marvelous

90
"starting [%pitching g] games"
Says starts but calls for [g] games

"he amassed [%pitching w word], lost only [%pitching l word]"
Think this would say "lost only 2 losses"

1491
4706
"[%pitcheraward] has gone to [%teamlink nick] ace [%personlink] after a [%pitching w]-[%pitching l], [%pitching era] season"
Think this needs ERA or spelled out after the call for [era]

4644
4700
"[%pitching ha] basehits"
base hits

4674
"He starred in winning [%pitching w] victories"
"chunked [%pitching ip] innings"
First: Winnings 20 victories?
Second: Should this be chucked? Did he throw up at the start of each inning?

4699
"[%personlink L] also held opposition hitters to a quite impressive [%pitching avg] team batting average"
"Held opposing hitters" or "held the opposition"

4701
"holding the oppositon to just "
Spelling, opposition

4703
"permited just"
Spelling, permitted

4713
"and rang up a eye-catching [%pitching era] ERA. Opposing batters had a [%pitching avg] against him"
First: "rang up an eye-catching"
Second: Should say AVG or BA after the call for [pitching avg]

"Proclaimed [%subleagueabbr] Best Pitcher of the Year"
Should be possessive, [subleagueabbr]'s

In this category 1 doesn't, object 10321 then should say [distance] feet.

In 279 none of them say mention feet, which would make all of them wrong. Or, if they're right in 279 then most in 280 are wrong.

According to that token, the word feet should be included in the description, which means if Feet is mentioned after the token, it should appear as 455 feet feet? I need to run some games and check this out.

"[%game pitcher] has the sign from [%game catcher]...(nl)puts his foot on the rubber...(nl)here's the stretch...(nl)and the pitch..."
If he has gotten the sign, his foot is already on the rubber. The ones in the windup section could be interpreted as his turn... but don't think it'd be called that way. Think these references should just go away. There's more in there, but don't mention the sign, so I think they're fine.

8574
"[%game pitcher] got the sign from [%game catcher]...(nl)toes the slab.."
Same as above.
Also [pitcher] gets the sign

"[%teamnickname] Offer Extension to [%playerposition capital]"
All right. I'm not sure how the [playerposition] calls come out. I have a few mixed in here:
[playerposition capital] and
[playerposition abbr]
From what I can figure, this one would say "Indians offer extension to CF" which I don't think any teams outfield can sign for free agency.

The [playerposition] call is usually used in what I can make out to become "Centerfielder".
"keeping the [%personage]-year-old [%playerposition] around another " That's a clip from one I thought would read "centerfielder".
I'd rather point them out and them not be problems than not report them and not have them fixed if they are.

4842
"The [%team#1link nickname] pocketbook "
Most in here call [team nickname]?

3216
"I\'ll continue to talk, but [%teamlink] have offered me a better compensation "
From what I can tell, [teamlink] brings up something like "Cleveland". Which would mean this says "Cleveland have offered". Should be "has"

3233
"otherwise I\'m pretty much comitting to them"
Spelling, committing

3239
"so much as I st the [%teamlink] deal"
"st"? Can't figure out what it's supposed to be.

3243
"While think you\'re on the right track, the [%teamlink] is offering "
Should be "While I think you're"
Also, if I'm right above, this would say "the Cleveland is"... should drop "the"

3254
"In fact, [%teamlink] have made a much "
Should be [teamlink] has

3259
"I know your offer is generous, but so isn\'t [%teamlink]\'s."

"whatever club I chose to sign with. Your offer isn\'t what I\'m looking for, but it could be if you decided to adjust "
Should be "whatever club I choose"
Also, should be "it could be if you decide to adjust"

"but the [%teamlink] are a lot "
Again like above with "the" in front of [teamlink].
Also should be "[teamlink] is a lot"

Raidergoo · 06-06-2006, 01:46 PM

Drysdale is claimed fixed. Especially curious to see if there are any other last names that leaked where a variable should be.

Keep up the good work tysok.

For some reason I don't have the object id for this one:
"at the moment. Your [%contract salary average] a year deal is an embarrassment to any self respecting [%leaguename] ballplayer. I\'m not greedy. I don\'t pursue the dollar, but your numbers are just way out of whack. And on top of that you haven\'t even give me nearly enough years. I\'m looking to settle down and contribute to a club long-term, not be gone in a blink of an eye. Make a better deal, or you\'ve lost me.(nl)(nl)[%personlink]"

This area is asking for 3 MORE seasons

Drop "I"

Two more seasons

4262
"Ought to break off negotiations "
"I ought to"?

4264
"If you give me one more year, and a healthy salary, and I\'ll consider your offer"
Should drop the last "and" "if you give...salary, I'll consider"

4265
"long term committment, "
Spelling, commitment

4272
"and I wouldd like another year added on besides"
Spelling, would.
Also change to "and I would also like another year added on"

4284
"The years are a bit low and so isn\'t the pay, "
Should be "so is the pay"

4292
"but this deal it's a good start"

4309
"you can\'t add extra year"
Should be "add an extra year"

4319
4320
"I\'m just really want"
Should be "I just really want"

2750
2754
2762
"I just feel I\'m a major league-caliber player "
Should "major league" be a variable?

2808
"If this is it, I\'m afraid I\'ll have go elsewhere"

"if I another offer comes in "
Drop "I"

3121
"we think your offer really sound"
"I am seriously considering that options"
First: "your offer is really sound"

Should be "time that I settle down"

2895
"Parties, nights on the town are something I\'m not as interested in as it used to be"
Should be "interested in as I used to be"

As a side note, the "stop calling me messages" read a lot like they were breaking up with their girlfriends... but there was a glaring ommission... there were no "It's not you it's me" lines!!

[playerposition capital] = Player's position, as a word, starting with a capital, i.e. Center fielder

[playerposition abbr] = I assume is CF, SS, etc

Ah... okay that makes sense. So not all in that list would be bad... I'm sure there were some [abbr] though. Anyhow, will make sure to remember that later.

I have 261 pages left to go.

2894
"I just think it\'s time where I settle down"
Should be "time that I settle down"

2895
"Parties, nights on the town are something I\'m not as interested in as it used to be"
Should be "interested in as I used to be"

As a side note, the "stop calling me messages" read a lot like they were breaking up with their girlfriends... but there was a glaring ommission... there were no "It's not you it's me" lines!!

Fixed, where needed fixin! Whew, it is 12:57 AM, Seacrest Out!

tysok · 06-07-2006, 11:28 AM

I skipped RBI - RBIs in this last section I read through. I figured if those were to be uniform it would be easier to search for all... Anyhow, another big list to keep RBL up late into the night.

2726
"sticking point in our negotations"
Spelling, negotiations

2998
"My kids don\'t need to see my face splashed all over SION\'s website as a possible trade"
Maybe "website in a possible trade rumor"? Reads weird, maybe "in a possible"?

3033
"Have the guys on your roster don\'t even work hard"
Wrong word, Half instead of Have

3042
"I\'d rather be hoisting a banner up next season than playing also-ran. "
Should be "than playing on an also-ran"

3085
4926
"SION is hearing that [%playerlink] is interested in signing a deal with [%playerposition] [%teamlink]. "
With my new found knowledge, this would say "centerfielder Kansas City" We have outfield sections going to free agency, and free agents signing with teams outfield sections (and just how can that outfield section pay him?) ... what is the world coming to?

5099
"Aging [%playerposition abbr] Agrees to Pact with [%teamnickname]"
This would say "Aging CF Agrees" Should be just [position]. Now outfield sections are aging!!

3088
"officals are not saying anything publically"
Spelling, publicly

4941
"a possible contract negotiation between [%teamlink nickonly] "
Should be "the [teamlink nick]"

4947
"one of [%leagueabbr]\'s marquee players"
Should be "the [leagueabbr]"

4962
"they view him as too old for the [%playerposition] position and not a winning solution. "
Since [playerposition] kicks up something like "centerfielder" this doesn't fit, it might be "centerfielder position". From what little I know, it should be [abbr]?

4963
"veteran has been offered a [%contract salary total] that would span the next"
Should drop "a" so it might read "offered 27 million that would span"

4964
"SION has learnt that such feelings "
Learnt? Is that a word? I didn't think so, but MS Word doesn't flag it as misspelled... I think it should be "learned"

4995
"Rumors about [%personlink] moving to the [%teamlink] persist "
Should drop "the" in front of [teamlink]

5007
"Informants have thus far gleamed contradictory information "
I think "gleened" is the right word here instead of gleamed

3685
"Officals Deny Club in Talks "
Spelling, officials

3711
"[%playerposition capital] Turns aside [%teamname] Rumors"
No mention of who. May be fine... took me a while to figure out why I flagged this last night... maybe I was tired.

4186
"though fans were somewhat more reserved by the signing."
Think they should be "more reserved about the signing"

4195
"is looking forward to playing ball with [%teamlink nickonly]."/>"
Should be "the [teamlink nick]"

4201
"The deal for is worth an estimated "
Drop "for"

4858
"and question remains whether he is really worth "
Should be "questions remain"

4866
"proved a big hit wth [%teamlink] "
Spelling, with

4867
"he will certainly draw fans to park. Lets hope they don\'t crank up ticket prices!"
Should be "draw fans to the park"
Also: Spelling, Let's

4868
"[%personlink L] will earn a [%contract salary average] per year over [%contract years word]."
Drop "a" in front of [salary average]

4869
4872
4907
"[%teamlink nickonly] after receiving a [%contract years]-year, [%contract salary average] offer."
Usually the [salary average] call is followed by "per year". This reads more like it should be calling [total].

4895
"When [%personlink] arrived in [%teamlink] today to greet the media to his new home"
Did he invite them over to his house? Possibly, seems like it should be "greet the media of his new home" though.

4920
"no doubt that he\'s worth a pretty penny, maybe not the [%contract salary total] offered to him"
Several possibilities. End the line with "though"... "just maybe not..."... or "but maybe not..." I think "though" is the best... though.

4924
"fans are warming up to the deal provided [%personlink L] confines his talking on the diamond. \n"
Should be "confines his talking to the diamond"

454
455
769
"who found out he has been named [%subleagueabbr] Player of the Week"
Should be "the [subleag]

466
"and batting in [%batting rbi word] runs "
Usually no [word] when it references what it is.

901
7334
9519
9521
9522
9523
9526
"rolled up a [%batting ops] OPS average"
Never seen OPS trailed by anything... one says percentage. These may be right, just never seen it that way.

919
"punishing tha ball "
Spelling, the

7334
"the [%teamlink nick] [%playerposition] corraled the award "
Spelling, corralled

9519
"cracked [%batting ebh word] en route to piling up a [%pitching ops] OPS average"
This should be [batting ops] yes?

9520
"score. at performance was more than good enough "
"Once you hit 35, it\'s hard to say how much "
First: "at" should be "That"
Second: Should this be a variable? It mentions [playerage] later so I'd think this is probably right...

tysok · 06-07-2006, 02:32 PM

Maybe I've just now been noticing these and they've been everywhere... but it seems odd because they're not in all of them.

TEXT_OBJECT id="2076" text="[%teamname]\'s [%personname L] On a Tear This Week; Named [%subleagueabbr] Best Player by SION\n"/>

TEXT_OBJECT id="2077" text="[%personname L] of [%teamname] Standout Player in the [%subleaguename]\nThis Week"/>

The " \n" ... don't know what they are, but they don't appear in all the lines. I've noticed about 10 so far in this set I've been searching through. They're easy enough to search for if they're a problem so I won't mention them elsewhere.

AliG · 06-07-2006, 03:03 PM

/n would usually be the code for 'start a new line' so it would end the paragraph and start a new one. Not sure if this is correct but in just about any coding language this is the case so I see no reason why this would differ.

Raidergoo · 06-07-2006, 04:07 PM

For reference, (nl) is the code for new line.

. . .and I bet tysok could tell you how many times that shows up.

I lost count when it entered the 8 digit numbers.

Another list.. because RBL must not sleep!

2211
"the most recent recipient of [%subleaguename] Player of the Week "
the [subleaguename]

4408
"Today, he corraled the [%subleaguename] Player of the Week "
Spelling, corralled

4410
"finished the week with a[%pitching era] "
Should there be a space, "a [era]"

4428
"[%personname L] rang up [%pitching k word] batters on strikes "
Should be just [pitching k] right, this would say "rang up 20 Ks batters on strikes"?

2091
"Magnificient on the Mound"
Spelling, magnificent

2104
2105
"Annointed [%subleagueabbr] Player "
Spelling, anointed

2398
"career [%personlink L] has picked up [%pitching w word] and [%pitching l word] with [%pitching s word] and a [%pitching era] ERA and recorded [%pitching k word]"
Too many "and"s... I'd change to "ERA, recording [piching k word]"

2404
"Lifetime he has a record of [%pitching w word] and [%pitching l word] and a [%pitching era] ERA."
"and"s again. [L word] with a [ERA]"

5299
"[%personlink L] has picked up [%pitching w word] and [%pitching l word] with [%pitching s word] and a [%pitching era] ERA and recorded [%pitching k word] "
"and"s again. "ERA, recording [k word]"

5338
5339
"With over 10 years in the league,"
There was one more like this, but had conditions listed under it. These don't, will they come up possibly for a guy that has only 3 years in the league?

1135
1136
"has sprinted in from the bullpen [%pitching g] times"
Saying RA but it's calling [G]

1142
"Season-to-date [%personlink L] has been called out of the bullpen [%pitching svo] times for save chances this season "
Redundancy, Season to date ... chances this season in the same sentence.

1143
5351
"innings with 30 saves out of [%pitching svo] chances. "
30 instead of a variable

1150
"In [%pitching svo word] he has gotten the win [%pitching s] times and blown [%pitching bs] of them"
Should be "he has gotten the save [s] times" Or "he has nailed down the win [s]"

1154
1158
"has made [%pitching ra] appearances and recorded [%pitching s word]"
Calls RA but just says (all) "appearances"

1154
1158
1162
1163
1166
1169
5365
5371
5374
5376

"He has collected 30 saves out of a possible 5 opportunities this season. In 31 total appearances, he has 221 strikeouts in 171 innings with a 4.74 ERA and [%pitching w word] and 5 losses."
This pitcher is crazy good... He's getting 6 saves every time he gets a chance!

Lots of variable problems

1164
"ERA and stuck out "
Spelling, struck

1166
"One of old men of the pen"
Should be "one of the old men"

1172
1173
"He has made [%pitching g] relief appearances "
Says relief appearances but calls for [games]

4846
"working total of [%pitching ip] innings"
Should be "working a total of"

4849
"and a [%pitching w]-[%pitching l] with [%pitching s word] in "
Doesn't tell me what those numbers are. Should be "and a [w]-[l] record"

4850
"has limited opposing batters to a [%pitching avg] batting percentage"
Technically correct I guess... just weird with batting percentage.

4856
"has recorded [%pitching w]-[%pitching l] record "
"given up [%pitching ha] basehits"
First: Should be "has recorded a [w]-[l] record"
Second: Should basehits be 2 words?

4857
"[%personlink L] record is [%pitching w]-[%pitching l]."
Should be [personlink]'s ... possessive

4861
"[%personlink L] has with [%pitching s word]."
Drop "with"

5365
5366
5378
"has made [%pitching g] appearances in tight game situations so far this season"
Talks about relief appearances, but calls [Games]

There it is again, and no way (unless it's invisible and does nothing) should it be there... that's just weird. Could be a new line, but it doesn't appear in most of these long texts so they obviously wrap on their own....

If he has gotten the sign, his foot is already on the rubber. The ones in the windup section could be interpreted as his turn... but don't think it'd be called that way. Think these references should just go away. There's more in there, but don't mention the sign, so I think they're fine. 8574 "[%game pitcher] got the sign from [%game catcher]...(nl)toes the slab.." Same as above. Also [pitcher] gets the sign 8631 "[%game pitcher] bends over at the knees" He either bends at the waist, or maybe over his knees... but here he's sitting down to get the sign. 9513 9514 "hitters count...(nl)Drysdale from the stretch...(nl)pitches..." There's a new designated pitcher rule! Only Drysdale pitches in hitters counts or full counts. 8513 "here\'s a [%game balls]-[%game strikes] pitch" Here's the [] pitch 1884 "The current offer on the table seems to be over a total of [%contract salary total] for [%contract years word]." seems to be for a total?

I'm not sure how the [playerposition] calls come out. I have a few mixed in here: [playerposition capital] and [playerposition abbr] From what I can figure, this one would say "Indians offer extension to CF" which I don't think any teams outfield can sign for free agency. The [playerposition] call is usually used in what I can make out to become "Centerfielder". "keeping the [%personage]-year-old [%playerposition] around another " That's a clip from one I thought would read "centerfielder". I'd rather point them out and them not be problems than not report them and not have them fixed if they are. 4842 "The [%team#1link nickname] pocketbook " Most in here call [team nickname]? 3216 "I\'ll continue to talk, but [%teamlink] have offered me a better compensation " From what I can tell, [teamlink] brings up something like "Cleveland".

" With my new found knowledge, this would say "centerfielder Kansas City" We have outfield sections going to free agency, and free agents signing with teams outfield sections (and just how can that outfield section pay him?) ... what is the world coming to? 5099 "Aging [%playerposition abbr] Agrees to Pact with [%teamnickname]" This would say "Aging CF Agrees" Should be just [position]. Now outfield sections are aging!! 3088 "officals are not saying anything publically" Spelling, publicly 4941 "a possible contract negotiation between [%teamlink nickonly] " Should be "the [teamlink nick]" 4947 "one of [%leagueabbr]\'s marquee players" Should be "the [leagueabbr]" 4962 "they view him as too old for the [%playerposition] position and not a winning solution. " Since [playerposition] kicks up something like "centerfielder" this doesn't fit, it might be "centerfielder position". From what little I know, it should be [abbr]? 4963 "veteran has been offered a [%contract salary total] that would span the next" Should drop "a" so it might read "offered 27 million that would span" 4964 "SION has learnt that such feelings " Learnt? Is that a word? I didn't think so, but MS Word doesn't flag it as misspelled... I think it should be "learned" 4995 "Rumors about [%personlink] moving to the [%teamlink] persist " Should drop "the" in front of [teamlink] 5007 "Informants have thus far gleamed contradictory information " I think "gleened" is the right word here instead of gleamed 3685 "Officals Deny Club in Talks " Spelling, officials 3711 "[%playerposition capital] Turns aside [%teamname] Rumors" No mention of who. May be fine... took me a while to figure out why I flagged this last night... maybe I was tired. 4186 "though fans were somewhat more reserved by the signing." Think they should be "more reserved about the signing" 4195 "is looking forward to playing ball with [%teamlink nickonly]."/>" Should be "the [teamlink nick]" 4201 "The deal for is worth an estimated " Drop "for" 4858 "and question remains whether he is really worth " Should be "questions remain" 4866 "proved a big hit wth [%teamlink] " Spelling, with 4867 "he will certainly draw fans to park. Lets hope they don\'t crank up ticket prices!" Should be "draw fans to the park" Also: Spelling, Let's 4868 "[%personlink L] will earn a [%contract salary average] per year over [%contract years word]." Drop "a" in front of [salary average] 4869 4872 4907 "[%teamlink nickonly] after receiving a [%contract years]-year, [%contract salary average] offer." Usually the [salary average] call is followed by "per year". This reads more like it should be calling [total]. 4895 "When [%personlink] arrived in [%teamlink] today to greet the media to his new home" Did he invite them over to his house? Possibly, seems like it should be "greet the media of his new home" though. 4920 "no doubt that he\'s worth a pretty penny, maybe not the [%contract salary total] offered to him" Several possibilities. End the line with "though"... "just maybe not..."... or "but maybe not..." I think "though" is the best... though. 4924 "fans are warming up to the deal provided [%personlink L] confines his talking on the diamond. \n" Should be "confines his talking to the diamond" 454 455 769 "who found out he has been named [%subleagueabbr] Player of the Week" Should be "the [subleag] 466 "and batting in [%batting rbi word] runs " Usually no [word] when it references what it is. 901 7334 9519 9521 9522 9523 9526 "rolled up a [%batting ops] OPS average" Never seen OPS trailed by anything... one says percentage. These may be right, just never seen it that way. 919 "punishing tha ball " Spelling, the 7334 "the [%teamlink nick] [%playerposition] corraled the award " Spelling, corralled 9519 "cracked [%batting ebh word] en route to piling up a [%pitching ops] OPS average" This should be [batting ops] yes? 9520 "score. at performance was more than good enough " "Once you hit 35, it\'s hard to say how much " First: "at" should be "That" Second: Should this be a variable? It mentions [playerage] later so I'd think this is probably right...

tysok Hall Of Famer Join Date: Aug 2003 Posts: 4,925	Maybe I've just now been noticing these and they've been everywhere... but it seems odd because they're not in all of them. TEXT_OBJECT id="2076" text="[%teamname]\'s [%personname L] On a Tear This Week; Named [%subleagueabbr] Best Player by SION\n"/> TEXT_OBJECT id="2077" text="[%personname L] of [%teamname] Standout Player in the [%subleaguename]\nThis Week"/> The " \n" ... don't know what they are, but they don't appear in all the lines. I've noticed about 10 so far in this set I've been searching through. They're easy enough to search for if they're a problem so I won't mention them elsewhere.
