How the Tigers almost broke Baseball-Reference.
The ?home? game in Oakland caused more trouble than just confusing fans, plus the worst losses of 2020 and prospect news.
The Tigers ?home? game in Oakland nearly broke everything.
Eno Sarris takes a look at the bizarre makeup match between the Tigers and the Oakland Athletics last week in this article for The Athletic. That game had the fourth-longest delay in major league history ? 110 days and three hours elapsed between the postponement and the final pitch, to be exact. But there was much more to the time warp than just days on the calendar, as there was also the issue of where the results of the game would ultimately be recorded.
Although the contest began at Comerica Park on May 19, it would be finished in Oakland on September 6. The location of the entire game was recorded as where the game began, according to the record books, which was in Detroit. This caused some issues for statistics websites, especially ones that update daily like Baseball-Reference.
?I hate them a lot,? wrote Forman, Baseball-Reference founder, of these time-displaced games. ?We have a big database of players whose debuts were messed up by suspended games.?
Some services, like Elias Sports Bureau, were able to patch the issue by making some simple adjustments, such as declaring that player debuts and first-time events would be recorded as occurring on September 6. But for players like Chad Pinder, who hit a home run in the top of the ninth inning of the makeup game, the dinger counted in his away splits, even though it happened at Oakland Coliseum.
It was a weird situation all around that caused a lot more trouble than the game was probably worth, as the loss had already been pretty much conceded by the fanbase. That said, rules are rules, and the game must go on. But in the future, let?s not do the time warp again.
