Fun fact: More than 2/3 of the D1 #NCAABaseball players who will play this year, played in the opening weekend games. Follow them all on the Road to Omaha on @baseball_ref, powered by our Register and daily stats feed! https://t.co/A1QzxLHcob
@DrBDT@wikidata Our main motivation for adding this is that it's a good way of marking records belonging to people who are notable for reasons other than baseball. At the moment, there are only a very few of those linked, but all in good time.
We've added a few new features to the public version of the Chadwick Persons Register, including links to Wikidata identifiers and TSN contract cards. https://t.co/12HZWlO6J8. #baseball#baseballdata#isitopeningdayyet

@rcpikeboy The tools are drop-in replacements for Retrosheet's DiamondWare tools, so everything on https://t.co/N75liT2JEn applies, for example https://t.co/CHdFOi9wrw
We've just released v0.10.0 of the Chadwick tools for @Retrosheet data. This implements support for the new 'presadj' record for assigning pitcher responsibility. https://t.co/av2vUxrvrI #baseball#baseballdata
We've made a few adjustments to how we're organising the data files for our Register of baseball people. Read about it at the repository: https://t.co/12HZWlOEyG
(2/2) In addition, our repository containing player and team day-by-days and (post-1974) splits using the latest @Retrosheet release has been updated as well: https://t.co/eqf6Ssaxql
@RationalPastime@tangotiger@AudacityOfHoops I propose that if you took a survey of baseball fans, >90% would tell you that "of course batting last is an advantage, everyone knows that" and "you stat heads really need to get out and watch a game and you'd know that too."
We've done another maintenance release of the Chadwick DiamondWare/@Retrosheet tools, to correct the destination code for tiebreaker automatic runners who scored #retrosheet#baseballdata https://t.co/eJPFvsj600
@jluckhaupt @Trainboy100@mike_petriello@Retrosheet Yes, cwsub will give you exactly the output you need: https://t.co/t5AQJvZ5yR. Column 7 tells you which player was removed, and column 6 the position of the substituting player - this will take on the value of 11 for a pinch-hitter.
Version 0.9.3 of the Chadwick DiamondWare/@Retrosheet tools is now available: Support for statistics tabulation for multiple player identities under the "Ohtani rule" for DHes! https://t.co/dDgAuodOHG #baseball#retrosheet#baseballstatistics
Version 0.9.2 of the Chadwick #Retrosheet tools is available: https://t.co/PqpCHY0Vaj. This adds a new field allowing to distinguish 0-0 counts from unknown/null counts in @Retrosheet event files.
