What do you use to keep stats?
-
At this time I just move stats over to team stats on excel. Is there a better way? I downloaded Ball Stat but find it hard to use. BTW I have a 20 teams with 4 divisions. Teams range from 27 Yanks to 17 Dodgers.
-
@allen45fan Other than using Collections for APBA GO games, I’m not sure what else is out there. Ballstat has a big following, but maybe someone else has a suggestion?
-
I use Collections for my GO tournament. Love it. Although there are the occasional issues which come up (an earned run here… a save there).
Jeremy… has there ever been any thought given to adding an ‘Edit’ function to the boxscores, before saving them to Collections? Just to fix any minor inaccuracies which may arise?
It’s not like anyone who is serious about keeping accurate stats is going to abuse it. -
@randysteinman The idea hasn’t come up. I’d like to think that most of the desire for an edit button comes from wanting to circumvent the natural pace of the dev team on fixing the bugs in the queue that would, hopefully, fix all the problems with Collections. If that’s the case then the choice is spend time on fixing the bugs or making boxscore data editable… and at the moment I’m inclined to fix the bugs because it feels like the right thing to do.
It’s an interesting idea though; I’ll put it in the bag of tricks for later.

@allen45fan For the 1994 season, I built a Google Sheet that we used to track stats. It has a tab on it that we would copy the boxscore into, click a button, and then it would load the game into the team stats.
I’m working on an updated version that simply requires the CSV files that you can download from APBA Go to be loaded into Google Drive folder. It does all of the work from there to load the team data into one sheet. It’s been built with the intention of using it for one season of teams, but I think I could make it work for multiple seasons in one league.
I’m willing to share this free of charge as long as you recognize this is just a hobby for me and I can’t guarantee that it won’t be without bugs (lord knows we had plenty of bugs in the 1994 sheets). If you’re interested, just send me a chat message and we can figure out if it will work for you.

@apba-go-jeremy Sounds good, Jeremy. Sounds like the best solution in the short term is to report anything that comes up which results in inaccurate stat-keeping.
I actually had a game today… 1993 Giants led 1902 Giants 6-2 in the bottom of the ninth. With two out and two New York runners on, Rod Beck came on in relief for San Fran. The tying run was on deck, so it was a save situation.
Beck struck out Buck Herzog to end the game, but did not get credit for the save. This was a situation where an edit option in the box score could have corrected the oversight, before then sending the game stats off to Collections. -
I have also seen the situation where the reliever comes into the game with men already on base left by the starter, and when that new reliever allows the inherited runners to score to win the game the reliever gets the loss. The loss instead should go to the starter and the reliever would likely get a blown save.

@apba-go-jeremy Will be able to play games and move the stats to an excell spreadsheet like my league uses ? if so how ?
