One batter, one error...

slightly OT, but this new live stats app is atrocious. The concept seems good, to have it be as if you're in the stands at the game, you know who's playing where, etc ... But half of it doesn't have any data, there are blatant errors like an umpire every game named NULL, and apparently it's loading google analytics and graphics from XoS every time a batter comes to the plate. The worst part though, is how it keeps moving the components on the screen. Everything keeps spinning, shifting, and flipping ... puke. How much money are they wasting on stuff like this that sucks?<div>

to interpret the stats. It's very obvious that someone that is not a baseball fan made it because the you have stats in weird places than what a normal baseball fan would be used to.

Like you have extra base hits listed in a random location and it doesn't tell you who hit the extra base hits.

I thought we had zero errors last game and we really had three because I couldn't read the darn thing.

can someone tell me what the hell the arrows do? Do I need to know that the runner on 2nd got there by running to first and then to 2nd? am I missing something.

and it froze up as soon as it loaded today.

WTF was that? it seriously sounded like a dialup connection being made

ETA: The sound is screwed. no more Jim Ellis. Just a guy trouble shooting the sound and saying "I don't know what happend. I'm gonna unplug it"

whatare our options are third base? I know Sneed and Butler have been playing there, but neither seem to be cutting it defensively so far, and neither look all to comfortable.....</p>

Its about as good as it gets. It does have the computer generated stadium but it also has a very user friendly interface.

You can check it out by going to D1baseball.com and clicking the "Live Stats" icon on damn near any game that doesn't have an SEC team as the home team. Why we, as a conference don't use it is beyond me (SEC teams didn't use it last year. I assume its the same this year.)

I would rather have what you suggested over what we have currently. But I wish we'd use Gametracker over anything.
