Significant Backend Change for Saves

April 27, 2009 at 10:13PM View BBCode

I've rewritten the way Abe handles manager prefs for putting the closer in.

Previously, in a save situation Abe would look to bring in your pitchers according to the order Closer, Setup/Closer, Setup, Middle B, Middle A, Long B, Long A.

Now, Abe will use your preferences for the 9th inning when winning by less than X runs.

This code is very tricky, as you probably know for the amount of bugs that I end up addressing in this area over time. So please keep your eyes peeled for problems. I did not get a chance to test this much today, but will be testing it tomorrow.

I've updated the Manager Prefs page for Bullpen to include a note about this, and I've improved the format of the page a bit as well.

I've run some tests this morning and things appear to be working correctly. If anyone here can find a bug with this logic before Friday, I'll give you a free Dynasty Expansion team for 2 seasons.

Well, I found a bug that might possibly be related:

http://beta.simdynasty.com/boxscore.jsp?boxscoreid=5053630&cityid=4

Bill Connally entered in the top of the 8th inning of a tie game with a runner on. In the bottom of the inning, Cleveland took the lead and a PH came in for Connally. Then Connally was replaced with....Connally for the save. So Connally was awarded the win and the save. Connally would be my Setup/Closer.

However, I don't use the Advanced Manager Preferences, so I'm not sure if this is related. Or maybe the Regular Manager Preferences are broken or incompatible with the changes?

Good catch. I'll put you into a Dynasty league sometime next week - hope you are ready for a project :)

Ok, I think I have a fix for this. This bug is related to the closer being pinch hit for in the prior inning. I've run a bunch of games on Trial and found a game with the same situation - this time it worked.

The offer still stands if others find bugs related to the closer and save situation.
