Chadwick for 2010 ABL Season

Thought I might try to input all the Perfectos games into Chadwick. Some notes on the process.

Created a TEAM2010 file. Wrote extract_rosters.pl to generate *.ROS files from batter.csv & pitcher.csv.

Wrap: zip ABL2010.chw TEAM2010 *.ROS *.EVABL
Unwrap: unzip ABL2010.chw

Remember to record day/night when starting a game.

Chadwick screws up the date. 2010-related?

Difficult to remember defensive subs, as it doesn’t prompt after PHs. When editing the event file, remember to put an NP play before the sub record.

I like the condensed box score produced by BOX (more stable than cwbox), but it doesn’t indent the subs. A little manual tweaking, and a little editing for the ABL would yield something like the following.

2010-05-02: Oops! Just noticed that BOX.EXE does not tally any earned runs! Looks like the fourth field of the earned-run records at the end repeats the pitcher name, rather than count the earned runs, which is what the Retrosheet event files do. CWBOX will not do the second game of a doubleheader, unless it’s the first game in the file or something.
