Incorrect pitcher grade advancement
-
It appears the pitcher grade advancement isn’t working exactly as planned. Consider the following. Mashiro Tanaka, a grade C starter for NYY, started the game and gave up 4 runs in the first inning (all earned). He then pitched 6 straight complete shutout innings (2nd through 7th), which should have advanced him to a B starter per rules. (Six shutout innings as grade C starter advances to a B starter). BUT, in APBA GO, he incorrectly advanced to an A starter. It’s as if the calculation to what to advance him to, assumed all his innings were shutout?
Really minor issue in the grand scheme of things… as it is very unusual, but something to put on the backlog none-the-less.

@bstark I’ve encountered this before. I believe what happened is that all 4 runs scored in the first inning before any outs were recorded. So the system is giving him credit for a scoreless first inning. I believe that the grade advancement is using number of outs, rather than scoreless innings. Tanaka likely went to a “B” in the 6th inning, because he had recorded 18 consecutive outs without giving up a run…because he gave up those 4 runs in the first without recording an out.

@alecotto75 Thanks for the additional detail… this will definitely help them track it down. Cheers.
