Post Game Updates:
Given the trades that took place today, I did not expect the Pirates to play well in tonight’s game, but all in all, this was probably one of the best games the Pirates played all season.

Ross Ohlendorf was fantastic, striking out 8 and allowing just 4 hits in 7 innings. Grabow and Capps sealed the deal.

Freddy Sanchez went 3-3 with an RBI.

I didn’t initially plan on releasing another version of my Retrosheet Scoresheet before pitches were fully implemented, but I came across several “bugs” and I made some miscellaneous improvements.

Although pitch-by-pitch data isn’t fully supported, I think this is a pretty good release.

—–

Here are the changes that were made from Version 2C into Version 2D.

– DH became a defensive position – This is an important change if you have a substitute for the DH. If the DH is changed while on offense, you should enter the substitute as a Pinch Hitter. Then, in the defensive half of the inning, the Pinch Hitter should change back to the DH.

– K+E – Previously, K+PB, K+CS, K+WP, and K+SB were supported. Now, K+E is supported too.

– Save line always displayed – I noticed that Retrosheet files display a line for save even if there is no save, so gamefiles from my scoresheet now export in the same manner.

– Extra columns for long games – Previous versions were limited to 63 plate appearances per team. I’ve now allowed for up to 126 plate appearances by team. Click “Show/Hide Extras” to see these additional columns. If you import a long game, the extra columns will display automatically.

– Extra rows for many substitutes – This is a nice improvement if you plan on scoring the All Star Game. If you click “Show/Hide Extras,” you will see 30 additional substitute rows for each team to the far right of the spreadsheet.

– Hid # fields – I really don’t have any plans to use the # columns, so I hid them.

– Comments prior to the game now in 1st at-bat – Previous versions of the scoresheet were throwing an error when the gamefile had a comment prior to the first at-bat. Comments prior to the first at-bat are now displayed in the box for the first at-bat.

– Updated Umpires File – There was a minor spacing error in the previous version of the Umpires file.

– bevent button added (need path to excel) – Beneath the box button, there is another button for bevent. In order for this to work properly, you need to populate the Excel location field in the Setup tab.

Enjoy!

Post Game Update
The Bucs had 9 hits tonight, including 3 by Nyjer Morgan, but they only managed to get 1 run across.

Zach Duke allowed 7 hits and 3 ER in 7 innings, and that was enough for the Cubs to prevail.

Paul Maholm pitched well, allowing just 2 runs in 7 innings. He got some nice run support from Pirate hitters, with Nyjer Morgan, Freddy Sanchez, Adam LaRoche, Delwyn Young, and Jack Wilson each recording 2 hits, and combining to knock in 6 runs.

The win marks 4 in a row (all against the American League too!).

Last night’s game was an interesting one. Auburn pitcher, Joel Carreno had a no-hitter going into the 7th. Through 5, the only thing keeping him from being perfect was a K+PB.

Auburn beat the Spikes 4-1, but only 1 of the game’s runs was earned.

It’s still early on, but the Spikes need to improve on their 18 runs in 7 games.

Post Game Update
Home runs from Nyjer Morgan, Jason Jaramillo, and Jack Wilson gave the Pirates enough offense to defeat the Royals tonight.

Virgil Vasquez’s Pirate debut (taking over for the self-demoted Ian Snell) was successful. 6 innings, 4 hits, 7 strikeouts and 2 ER.

The Spikes saw their 4th consecutive 1-run game last night, but this time they managed to score the win.

Tyler Cox gave up 6 hits and a walk in 5 innings, but he left allowing just 1 run. Brandon Holden, Diego Moreno, and Alan Knotts shut things down in the 7th, 8th, and 9th.

Tony Sanchez went 1-4 and scored 1 of the Spikes’ 2 runs. David Rubinstein went 2-5 and scored the other.

The Spikes have gone 1-2 in both of their first two series’. They look for their first series win, starting tonight, against the Auburn Doubledays.
