Beltran wins Player of the Week award
Benito Beltran from He had an
on base percentage of .633 and hit .500, while driving
in 10 runs.

The first sentence of the article is truncated after the word 'from'.

St. Paltry's Jon Chitwood has great day with five hits
ST. PALTRY - Jon Chitwood punished
Fat City's pitching today, collecting five hits in
5 AB. That definitely helped St. Paltry, they won the
game 12 to 5. In the 1st inning he belted a RBI double
off Andres Maurice. In the 4th
inning he belted a two-run double off Andres
Maurice. A pitch from Juan Garcia
in the 6th inning left his bat for a RBI double. His
5th hit, a three-run homerun off Thomas
Soo in the 8th inning, landed an estimated 452
feet from home plate. He collected a single in the
2nd. Jon did drive in 7 while scoring one run on his
own. He's having a very good season so far, batting
.314.

Second sentence should read:
That definitely helped St. Paltry, as they won the game 12 to 5.

The next to last sentence should read:
Jon drove in 7 while scoring one run of his own.

Jeremiad's Oliver Fleites slams five hits
DRACONIAN - Oliver Fleites hits
'em where they ain't. Draconian certainly agrees as
Jeremiad's leftfielder unloaded five hits, adding to
his reputation of being one of the best pure hitters
in the game. [1] Hit number 2 followed in the 6th inning,
a triple. A pitch from John Van Buren
in the 8th inning left his bat for a solo homerun,
landing 440 feet from home plate in center field. It
tied the ballgame at 5. He collected singles in the
3rd[2] , in the 10th inning and in the 15th . Oliver did
drive in one while scoring 2 runs on his own. He's
having a very good season so far, batting .429. Jeremiad
scored 10 runs on 15 hits.

[1] What happened to hit number 1?
[2] Should not be a space before the comma.

Larimer and Paez receive Pitcher of the Month award
[1]The best month of April in the Pioneer League certainly
had Jottentittle's right-hander David
Larimer, earning him the Pitcher of the Month award.
He went 4-1 in April and finished the month with an
ERA of 2.03.

[1] Should read: Jottentittle's right-hander David Larimer certainly had
the best month of April in the Pioneer League, earning him the Pitcher of the
Month award.

Jeremiad's Pusey named Batter of the Month

[1] shortstop Benito Beltran had
some reason to celebrate, as the league named him the
Pioneer League Batter of the Month. Benito pounded
opposing pitchers, hitting .270 with [2]10 and 27 RBI
while slugging .630.

Dont know if this fits in this category, but its such a small issue I thought I put it here.

Whenever you order a pitchout, I should think the pitcher should automatically throw a fastball. Ive had a couple cases when the pitcher threw a knuckleball, not the ideal pitchout pitch.

AsTrOFaN · 06-27-2004, 03:23 PM

For retired players, "ineligible" is spelled incorrectly as "inelegible" in the Show Financial/Roster Status area and in the player HTML report. Just noticed this as I was browsing through some of my Hall-of-Famers.

jmm8356 · 07-02-2004, 07:47 PM

During a sacrifice bunt by Hammaker, with Stoddard pitching, Durham playing 1B, and Veryzer playing 2B, here's the PbP:

Quote:

Hammaker will lay one down...
he bunts it...
to the mound...
easy play for Stoddard...
he gathers it in...
and he throws to first...
Veryzer is covering there...
the throw is high...
Durham leaps...
he has it...
Durham steps on the base...
retiring Hammaker.

Hope this isn't a repeat, this is my first post.

Dan Theman · 07-07-2004, 01:38 AM

A pop-up in foul territory, yet the umpire calls for the infield fly rule.

I'm assuming this is simply a typo, and not a function of the game engine. Otherwise, if the infielder drops the ball then the batter would still be out instead of it counting as a foul.

jmm8356 · 07-09-2004, 10:15 AM

Sandberg on first, Ramirez playing SS, during a hit-and-run:

Quote:

Durham swings...
line drive...
Ramirez is there...
and he makes the play.
Sandberg is too far off the base...
and Ramirez just steps on the base for the out!
Double play!

Maybe Ryno forgot how many outs there were?

disposableheros · 07-14-2004, 01:24 PM

so and so stat line

if im not mistaken it should be 44 IP

knightni · 07-16-2004, 03:48 PM

When you have a player playing poorly in a level of the minors, you get an email that says "xxxxxx should not play at xxxxx level x any longer, he needs to be sent down to a lower level so he is not emberressed any longer."

Last I checked, it was spelled "embarrassed".

jmm8356 · 08-03-2004, 05:23 PM

This isn't really a typo, per se, but...

In the news stories about injuries, everywhere it says "x-rays", I would suggest replacing it with "x-rays and an MRI". You can't find a torn ligament or a concussion with an x-ray.

JDOldSchool · 08-04-2004, 08:20 PM

Just saw this one and it made me laugh...

I had a player strike out on a "nasty nickle curve." Should be a knuckle curve, though I didn't know a knuckle curve was a pitch in the game.

mpsquid · 08-20-2004, 04:13 PM

In the online league set up menu, when you point to the allow owners to release players option the bottom says themselfes and should be themselves.

kq76 · 08-23-2004, 06:50 PM

When you move a player to the disabled list it says, "Select Disbled List". The "a" in disabled is missing.

reds1 · 09-03-2004, 02:42 PM

If these have been covered, I apologize.
In this game log, it should say that he reached 1st base on a throwing error, not 2nd.

It also says that the player named "Dutra" was thrown out at 2nd, yet he is still in the game and scores a run later.

reds1 · 09-03-2004, 02:43 PM

And, well, here's another:

It also says at the end: "Good that I was wrong." Perhaps it should say: "Good thing that I was wrong."

Rakestraw Wins Player of the Week Award

(single space) pitcher Mark Rakestraw had some reason to celebrate, as the league named him American League Player of the Week. Rakestraw was overpowering all week long, going 2-0 with an ERA of 2.25. Along the way he struck out 2 in 12 innings. (etc. for the NL guy)

Rakestraw plays for the Baltimore Orioles, the first team listed in the AL East in a 32-team custom league (5-6-5 x2) with all generated players. The players have all been edited to have a fielding % 100 pts lower than generated (except 1B which is 50 pts). Photos are turned off. Logos are all correct. All teams play in Old League Stadium.
