Bumping to show updated rankings as of 01 June 2044 (see post 4). The change reflects the next change from the 01 May rankings.

Love this feature. I just want to make sure I am reading this correctly, Jose Martinez is pitching horrifically right now, but is moving up on this list. I should read this to think that his previous game 100 league games back were so good that they are propelling him further up the rankings despite his recent struggles. Is that correct?

The rankings I have posted are for 2044, I have not calculated the rankings for this year yet.

Ah, I see. So this would be June 2044 and 100 games prior. Understood. Cool feature.

the game scores are only calculated from opening day 2044 (due to lack of data before that). Part of the formula is to use the last 100 games played in each ballpark, and i cheated on that part a bit with all of the data from 2044 and sim 1 of 2045 being used to calculate the R/G for all of the data in that time frame. What you see reflected here does NOT take into account anything that happened prior to 2044 (which is why dan cannon among others is way down the lists).

James Browning being the #3 pitcher at the time of his injury (and #1 the month prior) makes it all the more disappointing.

Zhang's start makes me wonder if walks are back in the BBA. He's walked 9 in 16 innings after walking less than 100 in 430 innings over the past two years.

i will be honest, this project has made me realize there are a lot of damn good guys over in the JL that i really know nothing about. Zhang is one of them, and Frank Boland from Calgary is another.

Boland is a big time under-the-radar guy for sure (says the GM who traded him away along with a prospect-turned-starting OF for 40 innings of Vodak)

As far as I can tell, walks are at least somewhat back. And this is a really, really cool feature. It makes me think a lot about scripting something for the ballpark effect. I'm having fun wasting my time on another little bit, though. :)

Bumping for results as of September 1st 2044 (shown on the 1st page). Of note both ramos and browning were lost for the season during the month of August, which explains their downward slide.

Bumping to post standings through the end of the 2044 regular season (see first page). There will be one more update to include 7 days from the end of the playoffs (to allow everyone to start declining at the same rate) before I transition to 2045 rankings.
