2008 corrections are now online!

Yes that is right, after just one set of interleague series I now can run my correction code on the 2008 data. The player cards have now been updated with the corrections and my pitch classifications. These classifications are not perfect at the moment as the 2008 corrections still aren't quite as strong as the 2007 corrections but they appear to be better than the MLBAM corrections which are done on the fly (and therefore are much harder to do). Automated updates will be down for a few days but expect them to be back in full force by the weekend.

PSA to all PITCHf/x guys

As of the 12th MLBAM has changed the header for their data. It used to look like this:

atbat num="1" b="4" s="2" o="0" batter="435065" pitcher="458567" des="Reggie Willits walks. " stand="L" event="Walk"

Now it looks like this:

atbat num="1" b="3" s="1" o="1" batter="408299" stand="R" b_height="6-0" pitcher="435043" p_throws="L" des="Omar Infante grounds out, shortstop Brian Bixler to first baseman Adam LaRoche. " event="Ground Out"

Make sure to change you parser accordingly.
