Scoring bug

[Malleus Dei]

Okay, check this out:

************************************

Bottom of the 9th - Los Angeles (N) Dodgers batting - Pitching for Atlanta Braves : LHP J. Autrey
Batting: RHB E. Buchman 0-0: Foul Ball, location: 2RF
0-1: Swinging Strike
0-2: Ball
1-2: Foul Ball, location: 2F
1-2: Strikes out swinging
Batting: RHB D. McNeice 0-0: Called Strike
0-1: Ball
1-1: Swinging Strike
1-2: Ball
2-2: Foul Ball, location: 2F
2-2: Ball
3-2: Base on Balls
Batting: LHB N. Northrop 0-0: Called Strike
0-1: Ball
1-1: Called Strike
1-2: Strikes out swinging
Batting: RHB B. Jennings 0-0: Foul Ball, location: 5DF
0-1: DOUBLE (Flyball, 7LD)
D. McNeice to third
Runner from 3rd tries for Home, SAFE, throw made at trailing runner, OUT at third!
Bottom of the 9th over - 1 run(s), 1 hit(s), 0 error(s), 0 left on base; Atlanta 4 - Los Angeles (N) 0

************************************

Earned run by Los Angeles, right? Runner scored before a non-forceout error, right? Well, where is the run? The log shows the final score to be 4-0.


On the other hand, the scoreboard says the run was scored and the game score was 4-1:

************************************

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Atlanta Braves 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 1 1 4 9 0
Los Angeles (N) Dodgers 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 3 0


And the pitcher's line says the run happened, but was unearned!

************************************

Atlanta IP H R ER BB K HR PI PS ERA
J. Autrey W (1-0) 9.0 3 1 0 5 10 0 134 92 0.00

************************************

That's right, one run, no earned runs. ERA of 0.00 (it's his first start of the year, btw).

That run is an earned run (batter got on base with a walk and then was scored by a double), but it somehow credited as an unearned run...and somehow is not even credited at all in the game log! Bug bug bug bug bug!

"One run shall be scored each time a runner legally advances to and touches first, second, third and home base before three men are put out to end the inning. EXCEPTION: A run is not scored if the runner advances to home base during a play in which the third out is made (1) by the batter-runner before he touches first base; (2) by any runner being forced out; or (3) by a preceding runner who is declared out because he failed to touch one of the bases."

True. It's been BZ'd for awhile (At least, I think so -- don't remember the number, and never figured out how to find out when Markus decides to postpone doing anything about a bug). I don't expect a fix before v11.

There's no way I can justify any programmer not fixing known bugs.

How about this: "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good."

How about this: “Excellence is in the details. Pay attention to the details and excellence will come.”

The earned run bug I know has been BZ'ed. Probably more than once. I don't know if the game log error where it shows no run scored has been included, but it will be.

I'm with you on this one MD. I don't like this one at all. Correct scoring is fundamental to baseball. Steve's right in that the ship on this has probably sailed for v10. But I will make this priority one for V11 though. Of course, it's really up to Markus, but I will make sure it doesn't get overlooked anyway.
