StatCorner 1.0

by Matthew on Oct 11, 2008 9:23 PM PDT in The More You Know

Hey all, just a quick note to let you know that we're out of Beta (in just 58 days, take that Google!).

Some brief highlights:

New presentation, with a little less harsh green and including an actual logo
Minor league data from 2007 and 2008. Please note that we do not (yet) have park factor information for minor leagues and we do not (and never will have) pitch by pitch data for A, A+, or AA leagues.
tRA*
A somewhat enhanced glossary look up and team selection widget for hopefully easier navigation around the site.
Player search now includes the latest team for the player to help distinguish between all those Hernandez's and Young's.

There's still tons more to come and, as always, feedback's always welcome. Thanks.

This makes me happy.

I like homeless people. They are funny. I like cake. It is not funny but really delicious.

Just made this comment in the Rays thread, but it deserves repeating:

You guys rock. For how young it is, the site is stellar.

If you could have a easy way of organizing ML affiliations with the MLB club that would be great.

And A FF plugin would be nice

Dude, quick search.

Just saying not everyone knows how to do quick search

Still excellent work

I looked into making a FF plugin

when you first brought it up, it seemed like too much work. I’ll give it another search though.

The one thing that FF has over a QS

Is the fact that we could highlight than right click names that would normally be hard to spell

testing

FF plugin link

Let me know if this works.

Ok, it seems to work

and has been added at the bottom of the stats page

Awesome.

I wouldn't mind seeing the teams organized more like baseball ref's

ie, regulars separated from backups, starters separated from relievers.

But, as said in the GT, the redesign looks very nice. Well done.

I don't understand.

SP and RP are insanely seperated

by Matthew on Oct 11, 2008 10:07 PM PDT up 0 recs

There's nothing I can say here that won't make me look less stupid.

I make a badass amateur graphics designer huh?

by Graham on Oct 11, 2008 11:22 PM PDT up 0 recs

Not enough comic fonts or flashing graphics.

As though you didn't receive amateur feedback throughout the process.

Amazingly, Robert's I HATE THIS CHANGE IT ALL

Was the most useful

by Graham on Oct 12, 2008 8:11 AM PDT up 0 recs

I just liked being given the opportunity to complain about things on a daily basis.

by Robert on Oct 12, 2008 8:18 AM PDT up 0 recs

The new look, and less of that horrible HTML green

is a great thing.

by johnbai on Oct 13, 2008 10:01 AM PDT up 0 recs

I helped damn it.

by NOLAmarinergirl on Oct 13, 2008 10:53 AM PDT up 0 recs

You loved the horrible HTML green.

by JI on Oct 13, 2008 12:02 PM PDT up 0 recs

As long as you’re taking feedback – from a purely aesthetic perspective I think the logo would look much better with the alpha and taus in whatever font you use for the rest of it. The sigma fits in with the angularity and austerity of the font (what is that – it looks like the New Yorker) whereas the other letters are too rounded and don’t fit size-wise, making it seem strained. Just my $0.02.

Also, it seems intuitive to me that the underlines “AL” and “NL” over the team names on the front page should link directly to the pitching leaderboards for those leagues.

If the suggestions seem trivial its because the site is otherwise perfect ;)
