Yapping Eevee posted:As an Australian who has never actually watched any baseball, I think my brain tried to strangle itself while reading about the components of the slash line. But all the info about the personalities involved and the surprising amount of humour in the game's writing has definitely caught my attention. Best of luck with this one, TheMcD. The slash line is really simple, honestly! Really! So you have AVG, which is just batting average: how many times did you get a hit, divided by the number of your chances to get a hit*. OBP: AVG but let's just look at you getting on base at all (unless it's because the other team hosed up or sacrifice weirdness). SLG: how far did you actually get when you got on initially, ignoring walks again. (Single is worth 1, double 2, triple 3, home run 4. Not getting on at all is, obviously, 0). Let's take a hypothetical, extremely handsome Australian player named Apping Yeevee. He only ever plays one game, because it turns out that he was playing under a false identity, but in that one game, he gets to the plate 4 times. He hits 1 single, 1 home run, gets walked once, and strikes out once. His AVG is .666, because he got 2 hits out of his 3 non-walk appearances. His OBP is .750 since he got on at all 3 out of his 4 times up. And his SLG is (4+1)/3=1.666, because he got 1 home run (4 points) and 1 single (1 point) in his 3 official at-bats. *which is "how many times did you get to be a batter" ignoring walks, being hit by a pitch, or hitting into an out that actually accomplishes something (sacrifice bunt or sacrifice fly, which are terms you don't need to know.)

Cardinals fans believe their own bullshit, more or less, yeah. also the national media adores them without the self-awareness that comes with covering the yankees post-Jeter, and they're like the last bastion of "see, ~leadership~ is worth more than homers!" myth-making with their above-average catcher somehow achieving legendary status Anyway, big fan of the Zork start, love the redbox>mailbox

Fantastic job, both by gyroball and mcd. Also as someone who's been lurking and following the super league on and off since its inception as a spinoff of Smasher's 2003 cubs LP (blessedly outdated by 2016) I can second the rec for people to join it if they're interested at all in baseball stats, crazy storylines, regular attempts to break the system, and/or Eri Yoshida
