Little update because I got at least some interest. I have been working on the Retrosheet event files, which give a play-by-play account of games to varying degrees. From these you can reconstruct quite a bit, obviously the further you go back the less quality it is and (e..g, you don't get pitch data until ~1990). Anyway I am now giving all games a uniquely generated ID, to simply the DB operations. Testing my play-by-play processor, and it turns out that game 100,000 was played between Baltimore and Boston on September 6th, 1963. I am generating that looks like this: applyPlay B1 BOS 1 BAL 0 2 outs BAL poweb101 at bat BOS monbb101 pitching onBase: 1: 2: 3: play= D/78 double play runs= 0 outs= 0 applyPlay B1 BOS 1 BAL 0 2 outs BAL gentj101 at bat BOS monbb101 pitching onBase: 1: 2: poweb101 3: play= W walk runner on 2 does not advance play runs= 0 outs= 0 applyPlay B1 BOS 1 BAL 0 2 outs BAL branj101 at bat BOS monbb101 pitching onBase: 1: gentj101 2: poweb101 3: play= HR.2-H;1-H home run runner on 2 ( poweb101 ) scored runner on 1 ( gentj101 ) scored basesAdv= {1, 2} play runs= 3 outs= 0 The "play" line is what I'm getting from Retrosheet, from there I have to infer just about everything else. (It does have inning and batter info, but I also keep track of this internally and verify I am doing the right thing, so like it says a certain batter is up, I check to see if they were next in the order) Anyway parsing some of these "play" lines can be quite challening... this particularly game I think everything was the same as Baseball reference (I summarize at the end), except like one catcher assist was credited as a putout. -
And it wasn't about Coby Mayo. -

I feel like there's a good argument for both. On the one hand you could say that it's a lot to throw him in there against a division rival with a tough lineup and the adrenaline spike making him throw a little too hard/wild right off the bat. On the other hand you could say who knows how long he'll last this year and shoot your shot while he's healthy. -

Why do you have to extend him? Verlander was signed for a few years when they got him. The extension isn’t part of the deal. It was a separate outcome and that’s a big difference. Im against making poor moves that are likely to fail. -

Good news is we can watch 30 minutes before the O’s game.
