Play by play bug?

CarriageTownBaseball · 01-09-2026, 11:32 AM

I've got strange play-by-play scripts coming up. I just had the following:

"Here's Anderson De Los Santos, trying to salvage what's been an awful year... hitting .294, 32 home runs with 102 batted in..."

Literally his best season aside from the year he won MVP.

Had another where the text was, "Plaz having an MVP caliber year... hitting .229, 8 home runs, 26 runs batted in..." [this was in mid-August]

And my favorite, a batter draws a walk, and the text says, "And that's 40th batter Binelas [the batter] has walked this season..."

I attempted so search for such anomalies using the search term "play by play" and, separately, "play+by+play", both times, the system searched for "play".

The first two look properly conditioned in the text database. So, I don't have a solution. The third one is apparently hard-coded. Not something I can fix. Matt, if he has time, can hopefully check them out.
