bosdave said:You played Bridge Town IPA, I believe. The reason that the number that you lost by is fluctuating so much is due to BT IPA streaming way too many Starting Pitchers.
Let's say that you have started 11 out of your 12 starts after Thursday and on Friday you start 3 pitchers. Obviously only 1 of those three can count, but ESPN hasn't shut down the SP slot from scoring points as you can still score with one pitcher. Thus for Friday it counts all 3 pitchers for the total, and then shuts down the slot for Saturday and Sunday, thereby allowing 14 starts, at least seemingly.
However, it appears that ESPN retroactively checks the stats at the end of the week and disallows the last two, chronologically, of the 14 starts. This is also applicable to the 64 games started for hitters as well.
So the final total isn't in until the wee hours (stateside) of the morning, Monday morning, which makes sense with the different numbers that you viewed.

Thanks for the info, makes sense that the numbers are subject to change until everything is checked, and yes, I was checking in the morning my time, so early hours back in baseball land.
And on another note I played in my first game of the season for my team here in the UK (Southampton Mustangs II), had 1 at bat, single, RBI and scored a run. I also scored a run as a pinch runner, so not bad!
