Two fifty-game hit streaks...in the same season...on the same team...at the same time!

ThatSeventiesGuy · 07-02-2017, 03:41 AM

Just got 18 and set up a historical league a few days ago. This has to be a first:

George Sisler and Ken Williams both had 50-game hit streaks going at the same time! All simmed games. Too bad my team actually went down in the standings while it was going on!

when the season finishes, check the league BA... if it's ~normal witha wide-berth, then no worries... if it's insanely high, you may want to auto-calc the LTM.

or, maybe you like it that way...

(hypothetical - if it is "off" or not)

I just set it to 1921 settings. Considering a lot of .400 seasons happened in that decade, everything looks pretty normal so far. Sisler and Williams are the only .400+ hitters in either league, and will probably fall back a bit now that their streaks are over.

so, compared to other decades, that may not be as rare as it seems... all i meant... if ltm's were auto-calced, i'd be onthe side that it's quite rare, even if elevated compared to other eras.

does importing the League totals and other stuff also auto-calc the LTM? defintiely important any time the totals are changed (rhetorical, could be of no interest to you, i understand)

it's easy to have it setup to essentially make rare things not so rare and not even realize it... aslong as baseline is ~near that estimated slash, it's very likely been auto-calced and all is good. deveiation can be expected, but nothing extreme like ~15-20% swing for most things (maybe SB att can swing that much).
