Clean-up to Save Gathering
I noticed the other day that Kilg.us had recorded a save for one of my pitchers that, in fact, had blown a save. Reviewing the code that collects these stats, I think I’ve identified the issue.
Unlike most stats which come from a dedicated attribute in the XML files, saves, wins, losses, and holds need to be parsed out of a generic “notes” attribute. The logic performing this parsing was looking for “S,” to identify a save. While this matches the pattern (S,9)–a pitcher who recorded his 9th save–it also matches the pattern (BS,3)–a pitcher who has blown his 3rd save. I have updated this parsing pattern to look for “S,” in the absense of “BS,”. Hopefully this will fix the problem. I’ll be keeping an eye on this throughout the evening, but ping me if you notice any issues.
