My man Derek Norris is back and ready to walk and rake!
Sue, just curious. When you do these summary stats are you doing stuff by hand, using Milb.com, or some other site. I know that I (and others) may have there own personal favorites that they want to follow in summary fashion and I find it tricky sometimes.

Great for tracking players
Thanks for the heads up. I do use firstinning.com occasionally.
BR has good stats too. I mostly use firstinning, milb, and br.
baseball-reference I assume is what you mean by br?
All of the above. Trust me, it’s not easy — especially when you’re consciously trying to avoid repeats.
@SouldD
yup Baseball-reference
McCatty is just flat out bad right now. Bad enough that he is acknowledging fans that are “expressing their displeasure” at his pitching. 🙂 Every pitch seems to be a meat pitch – nice and fat down the middle. About 1 out of 10 pitches something nice comes out, and it seems more of a fluke than anything. He surely isn’t the answer now that Manno is gone.
