Your Random BBA Graph of the week - 2049.04

[CTBrewCrew]

As promised I came up with another idea for a Viz I will use to track how our boy Alaric Wullenweber can finish the 2049 season with an under 2.00 ERA while pitching in the friendly confines of The Basilica at Muskrat Slough for half of his games.

We have had 27 Pitchers in league history throw a 1.99 or under. Of those 27 Steve Nebraska has done it 12 times. The last sub 2 ERA was thrown by Carlos Flores of the Gamblers last season (2048), with a 1.780.

Stay tuned to this thread throughout the season as I create the Viz to track to see if our boy can make it #28 on the list.

What were the innings pitched for most of those 27 pitchers/seasons? Flores with a 1.78 over 207 innings pitched was pretty decent.

Let me dig in and find out!

The way this season has started, I’m going to need the under.

I love this!

We are updated through 6 SIMs and our boy as predicted as a sub 2 era at home, and a whopping 4.49 on the road this season to date. Louisville put a real thumping on our boy in his shortest outing to date (3.2) innings.

I'll look to update some additional home/away filters as the season goes on.

[CTBrewCrew]

Updated for SIM #8 - I have updated the Viz to now include hover over tool tips that break down his stats home vs away.

Season ERA down to 2.90 (Home ERA 1.27 / Road ERA 3.82) thanks to the shutdown posted on the road vs Des Moines this week.

SIM #9 - Our boy struggles again away from home, playing some of the upper tier teams in the #Heartland. (Really aren't they all in the Heartland), going 5 innings, and allowing 3 runs, bumped his season ERA up by .06 to 2.96.

Upper tier teams in the Heartland is a little redundant.

Des Moines and twin cities are flattered

HEY @Dington - don’t get all Pa-sucic ways here. Much love for all my #Heartland brothers out there…

[CTBrewCrew]

A few more SIMs in the book, and our boy is trending in the right direction. After 12 SIMS, Wullenwebber has a SUB 1 ERA at home (0.79) which helped lower his Season ERA to 2.33. His last two outings away from home, he's done much better allowing only 2 ERs in 12.1 innings, lowering that to 3.30

[tylertoo]

I hear that he has a big following in Germany, but they call him 'Vullenvebber.'

[CTBrewCrew]

Updated for SIM #13 and also added a second dashboard for a break-down vs each team Wullenweber has faced this season. You will see a button on each dashboard next to the League logo. If you (Alt-Click) on it and it will take you to the new vs Team Dashboard. Alt-Click the button again, and it will bring you back to the main Dashboard.

Our boy had another nice outing again (at home) vs Long Beach 5.2 innings allowing only 1 run. That helped lower his Season ERA to 2.29

Sorry its been a while since I updated the Viz, (almost a month of game time). But ooo boy what a month its been. Our boy is sooo close. Closer than @shoeless.db getting the bra unlatched on his first date in HS. As of July 23rd and 22 starts, our boys ERA is a 2.01 for the season. (1.05 at home) & (2.86 on the road).

Looking at the team tab/dashboard he needs to improve vs Seattle, posting an era of 4.15 for the season so far over 13 innings. One would also hope he improves when playing Louisville again, where he was taken out behind the woodshed in his only appearance, allowing 7 ER over 3.2 IP.

....until next SIM

[shoeless.db]

After a couple minutes, it’s best just to ask her to remove it herself.

[CTBrewCrew]

Closing in on the end of the season and our hero sits at 2.01 for a season total ERA. That last whuppin' vs Nashville on 8/15 (GAME ERA of 13.17) giving up 6 ER in 4.1 IP, didn't help his cause. But he bounced back posting a sub 2 game ERA for the next 3 outings. Unless @shoeless.db decides to rest out boy, its looks as if he will have 4 outings left on the season, 1 away vs Valencia, and 3 home starts vs Seattle, Portland, and San Fernando.

I added some other stats to the pop-up for home / away records and PFK% in each also.

Stay tuned.....

[Dington]

Glad we could help.

[CTBrewCrew]

So close, and yet so far away. Our Boy Wullenweber failed to reach the mark by a mere .02 ERA points. That last game vs Seattle on 9/18 all but doomed his chances, going 5.1 innings giving up 4 ER with a game ERA of 7.06. But never count Alaric out. He did bounce back the next game allowing 0 ER, which put him back under for the season at 1.99. What do to what to do.....

Alas, he could have skipped his last start of the season, as Sacramento had nothing to prove, everything was locked up (division title, and 1st round bye) and then join the pantheon of sub 2.00 ERA pitching gods of the BBA. But @shoeless.db spat in the face of infamy, and rolled him out for the last start of the season, where he gave up 2 ER to San Fernando, which pushed his season ERA up to 2.02.

As your punishment for this @shoeless.db you will need to watch all 39min of this clip. Then and only then will you be forgiven by Alaric
