There have been a number of improvements/adjustments in Stream-o-Nator and Hittertron since the start of the season.  For those of you keeping score at home, here is a list of what has changed:

New/Removed Stats

  • Added GT (Game Time) to Daily/Weekly Stream-o-Nator and Hittertron.  This displays the hour in which the game will start.
  • Added HR to Daily/Weekly Stream-o-Nator
  • Added Strikeouts (for hitters) to the weekly Hittertron and to Player Pages (no room in Hittertron Daily)
  • Removed the position-adjusted $ from the daily Hittertron (still in weekly Hittertron) in favor of only reporting the non-position adjusted $ ($U with the U standing for Utility) to create room for Game Time.  The position-adjusted $ served little purpose since most daily decisions are evaluating players who share the same position (so they’d receive the same adjustment) or for Utility (where position is irrelevant).

Functionality Changes

  • Removed Hittertron ‘Daily’ which had every batter/game for the next 7 days because it loaded too slow.  Replaced it with daily breakouts for the 5 days after tomorrow.
  • Added links to the player pages for opposing pitchers in Hittertron.

Projection Fixes/Improvements

  • Switched from pre-season projections to rest-of-season projections as the base for Stream-o-Nator/Hittertron
  • Adjusted Hittertron R/RBI estimates to better account for Park Factors (less runs scored in Petco vs. Coors)
  • Adjusted underlying Steamer ERA/WHIP/K projections if the pitcher was projected to have relief innings (typically, pitchers moving from the bullpen to starting gain 1.00 in ERA, 0.1 in WHIP and lose 1 K/9).
  • Adjusted ERA/WHIP/K-rate projections for interleague games for NL pitchers facing DH’s or AL teams facing opposing pitchers.

Planned Improvements In Next Couple Weeks

  • Develop a method to show accuracy per day/week per stat.
  • Move up posting date of Projected Next Calendar Week (Mon-Sun) – currently on Monday  mornings – by 1-3 days.
