Would the following be a character capitalization issue because roman numerals are usually entered with I (letter I)?

Rehab Road Tough For Blitzkrieg Allan McGeachie
Thursday, September 1st, 2033: Eichstatt Blitzkrieg center fielder Allan McGeachie got another setback today. His doctors informed him that his injury was not responding as well as they hoped to treatment and that he would be need more time to rehabilitate. If all goes well, they expect McGeachie to be ready to go within one week. He told BNN, "I didn't expect a grade i left oblique strain to take this long to heal."

Seems unusual to me. It should be grade I unless I'm not aware of how grade levels are entered in reports.

I'm all up to date on my patches and everything. It's kind of a minor gripe, but I figured I'd ask if there was any way to get rid of it anyhow.

Guys,

I've just copied this post over from TS but it's old so it got buried.

[Matter2003]

Just had a play where the 2nd baseman dove and smothered the ball, but it later said the 1st baseman made the diving stop:

Clark with a swing...
raps a hard ground ball...
to the right side...
Uggla into the hole...(2nd baseman)
and smothers the ball...
as he tumbles over...
but there's no one at first!
Morrison made a lunging stop...(1st baseman)
but Johnson didn't get over to cover the base...


So one of two things could be wrong:

Either the first baseman is the one who actually made the play and the reference initially to the 2nd baseman is wrong, or the 2nd baseman is the one who made the play and the latter reference to the 1st baseman is wrong...

not sure which it is tho...

[pstrickert]

This piece of PbP contains five different objects:

1
Clark with a swing...

2
raps a hard ground ball...

3
to the right side...

4
Uggla into the hole...
and smothers the ball...
as he tumbles over...

5
but there's no one at first!
Morrison made a lunging stop...
but Johnson didn't get over to cover the base...

4 and 5 should not be used together. 4 is conditioned for use ONLY when the second baseman fields the ball. 5 is conditioned for use ONLY when the first baseman fields the ball. Therein lies the problem. I'll see what I can do to fix it. Thanks, M2003.

Thanks for posting this error.

It will have to be fixed in the Injury Description text. The problem in not in the Text Database, so I can't fix it.

This is BZ #3524.

I will BZ it.

Not an error, typo, etc..., but in playing out several games in a row now, I have a "perception" that a single can't be hit up the middle without being accompanied with the mention of 'past the bag'. It probably isn't every time, but it feels like it. Is this a phrase that can be controlled with a frequency setting?

[pstrickert]

I agree that it shows up too often. I fixed it. Thanks, e.

Just a note to me, so I know we are up to date on this.

[CMH]

I did not look back, but I imagine this sort of thing has been BZed before, correct? I see it a lot and I couldn't be the only one.

Michel Mathieu Out for 2-3 Weeks
Thursday, September 15th, 2033: Medical officials from the Westness Gladiators reported that the club's 24-year-old right fielder, Michel Mathieu, suffered 5 in yesterday's matchup against the George Falls Barons while making a defensive play. Mathieu is expected to miss 2-3 weeks of action.

Seems to be calling for the type of injury but only returning something in the text file?

[CMH]

Also quite a few of these. My English tells me either or should be ok, but the news reports should stick with one format.

On the year Guérin is hitting .338 with 45 hits, 5 home runs, 18 RBIs, .382 OBP and has scored 27 runs.

On the season, Cross is batting .317 with 16 home runs and 59 RBIs. He has played in 127 games.

*comma or no comma?

Yes, you are right. It should be consistent.

There is a lot of disagreement about the use of commas by grammarians.
I was taught "when in doubt, leave it out".
But some modern grammarians have become "comma-tose" and put them everywhere.
I was taught to not to use a comma before an "and" in a series... as in "first, second and third"... but you occasionally see a comma before it... as in "first, second, and third."

I like the traditional way, but can take it either way as it doesn't change the meaning of the sentence.

The Text Database is correct. The program is just not converting the token properly. Markus will have to fix it.

This is BZ #3523.

This has been reported previously.

I reported it again.

It is BZ #3525.

This is the Extension Message that makes no sense. The tokens are not converting properly.

[endgame]

Apologies for butting in here, but wasn't this issue one isolated with the use of Matter's More Realistic injury file and its connection to the news reports? Can that be verified and added to the BZ, if that's the case? I don't recall a mention of this prior to the file being utilized, i.e. by those using the default injury file, but I may be mistaken. My own recollection says it was related. FWIW

[Tigers09]

The Righthander gets the sign delivers Aybar squares to bunt he makes contact and bunts it in play rolling dead near the play Avila has it hard throw to 2nd it sails high and Santiago cant snag it Aybar will be awarded 2nd as the ball sails into the dugout

Well several things, it should be 1st base and there is no way in heck that the catcher can throw the ball into the dugout if he is throwing in front of home plate or 2nd base and into center field. One way or the other looks like two got twisted together.

[pstrickert]

It's a problem only Markus can fix. I'll BZ it.

[Matter2003]

Found a strange one here---nobody on, 2 out:

starts his windup...
and here's the pitch...
Morrison with a swing...
chopper between first and second...
Ciriaco ranges over...
grabs it and fires to first for the out.
Morrison is retired for the second out.
That's three down...
No runs, no hits, no errors
nobody left on.


Morrison was retired for the 2nd out it says, even tho there were 2 outs when he was at bat, then right below it, states that's three down. Obviously the tag must be wrong somewhere, using the current out instead of current out + 1

[pstrickert]

Fixed. Thanks!
