MaddiesDaddy Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 also, i think all changeups should have 2-8 or 1-7 trajectory, this is for righties, 10-4 or 11-5 for lefties. i´ve never seen a changeup with 12-6 drop or with a slider like movement (in the big leagues). On this topic...and I don't know if it's been covered yet... but will the pitching updates suggested by bbythepier be included in any of the upcoming UR versions?

Royal Blues Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Check a couple of pages back in this thread, we changed the id's of about 60 players who made their mlb debut last year including Duffy Ok, forgive what's probably a stupid question: are the ID changes reflected in your Total Portraits .big file? I still have all the individual team files installed. (Just got home from a 12-hour shift, so I haven't gone back to look for the posts regarding the changes :oops: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hory Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Ok, forgive what's probably a stupid question: are the ID changes reflected in your Total Portraits .big file? I still have all the individual team files installed. (Just got home from a 12-hour shift, so I haven't gone back to look for the posts regarding the changes :oops: ) Yes, both the new ids and the old ids are included in the .big file.

Royal Blues Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Yes, both the new ids and the old ids are included in the .big file. Thanks for the quick response; I'll replace the .big then. Totte, hopefully, if I can get in touch with Royals Fan, we can get some better info (pitch selection, etc.) for some of our Royals as well.

firethebomb Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 A few Met things: - Henry Owens is on the Mets 40. He's a reliever who will get a good look this spring training and will at least be on the AAA team. Born: April 23, 1979 Height: 6'3 Weight: 230 Bats: Right Throws: Left - Juan Perez, a reliever, is no longer with the Boston organization and is now a Met and on the 40-man roster Born: 9/3/78 Height: 6'0 Weight: 170 Bats: Right Throws: Left - Mike Vanafro is a spring training invitee and I imagine he'll get as good a shot as any since he's a left sub-mariner. He was out of baseball for a year though. So since you have a lack of arms, you can add him for now. - Mitch Wylie was selected by the Mets in the Rule V Draft and is on the 4- man roster - Carlos Delgado's Met number is 21 - Eric Valent is no longer a Met as he was signed by the Padres on Jan. 12th.

firethebomb Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 I noticed how some organizations bullpens are a little iffy as far as numbers are concerned. For example... Pittsburgh has 9-10 relievers alone in their pen for all 4 of their teams while San Francisco has 3 for most Is this something you look to correct once spriong training comes to a close since its so hard to figure out the pen now?

Totte Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Then...how does the standard edition differ from just the updated ultimate roster v 5.0? Or are they exactly the same...whats the plus for? The PLUS means that the rosters come with cyberfaces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totte Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 metalboy15, I'll have a look over your changes, thanks. As far as the changeups go, it is very possible to add a lot of break to changeups. Some would say that's the easy part - it's controlling it that's the problem. Some guys can do it though. Thanks. Now I won't have to e-mail you the list :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMadcap Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Hey Totte. i noticed that the stats aren't updating, showing the '05 stats. I don't know if this has been mentioned yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totte Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Hey Totte. i noticed that the stats aren't updating, showing the '05 stats. I don't know if this has been mentioned yet. The stats ARE updated but you can't see it at the top if you look at the player in one of the rosters screens. If you click to view more info on the player, allowing you to see his career numbers, the 2005 stats have been added to their already existing stats. If you look at Ervin Santana (Ana) for example. The rosters screen tells you W 0 L 0 SV 0 ERA 0.00 etc. If you click him as I said, you have all the 2005 numbers right there :wink: As of know, there's isn't a way to make to 2005 stats show if you not manually enter them all into MVPedit and that's not something that I want to do.

firethebomb Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Henry Owens: 24 HENRY OWENS - RRP - 2-5 3.61, 22 W, 59 K, 3 Sv From the #s the UFA has put up in the past with PIT, less than a H per IP, over a K/IP & an OBA at under .200 could see why the Mets jumped on him in last off-season’s WD. Works from 10 ‘o’clock angle. PROS: FB, tho in avg range, since he hides the ball so well, its sneaky fast and has some sink, Works quickly adding to the bafflement of hitters to the FB that he works on the inner and outer parts of the plate. Has an effective tight the swerves more than drops that makes him poison to righties. CONS: FB is in avg range, and at his age, 26, is not likely to get any faster. Not that he cares to. He could load up more but prefers to smooth out his delivery to throw Ks. CU is avg at best and reserved, even then sparingly, for lefties. Since he dumps the SL to LH’d batters they pose a problem for him. OUTLOOK: His age is his biggest liability. He can do fine as righty situational P but that list is long, with better, younger arms, Deserves a shot at AA to see if he could d put up the good #s he put up in the past. With his flair for K’ing hitters wouldn’t be surprised if he becomes one of those 29-30 year old rookies we hear about. PITCHES: FB (5.5) 89-91, SL (5.5-6) 78-81, CU (5) 79-80 CoC Chance: 33%, Stay Awhile 15%, Regular 5% Star 2% Here's a link tp a recent pic and profile: http://mets.nyfansites.com/pitchers.php?player=henry_owens This is a website that has 3-4 people themsevles go and see every single player so what they say is something I tend to trust. And according to them, he only has 3 pitches so take away the sinker for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkB Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 this should be the same for sinkers and splitters, like i said before, i´ve never seen a 12-6, 11-5 or 10-4 sinker or splitter (this is for righties), all sinkers and splitters should have 1-7 trajectory. my pitching coach (im in college) confirmed this, he said if a sinker or splitter has 12-6 drop or slider like movement is being thrown in a erratic way. all of this pitches needs to fade away from left handers and in on the hands of right handers, this is you a are a right handed pitcher. to sum up, righties should have either 1-7 or 2-8 trajectories for changeups, sinkers and splitters, for lefties, it should be either 11-5 or 10-4. If you've never seen a 12-6 splitter, you probably don't watch much major league baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
