No idea what this is but I do want to find it. Sounds like Pete Rose Pennant Fever but years and years earlier if it was really on Atari 400.

So funny thing in Super Momotarou Dentetsu II. In that game you move around a board, buy businesses, and those businesses pay dividends. UNLESS you buy the Hanshin Tigers (or it's non-trademark infringing stand-in). If you own them, you lose money constantly. They're the only one that does this.

Out of my depth. I record old foreign baseball video games, but I'm not an advanced stats guy. I've just noticed a Phillie has been overall pitcher WAR leader (usually with a big lead) 5 of the last 8 years. They do have good pitchers, bad defense, and a tough home park, so I get it.

The list of players with the biggest adjustment for poor defense is just a list of Phillies and Reds. Above my pay grade, but it feels like B-Ref adjusts too hard for good Phillies pitchers. If you're a big strikeout guy, I imagine the park factor and defense doesn't really affect you so much.

B-Ref NL pitchers with largest defensive adjustment in their favor.

Nate from 30-30.club @30-30.club · 05/09/2026

Not to speak for him but I looked into it a little more and yeah, B-Ref pitcher WAR is purely "runs allowed per 9" weighted against how many runs it expects them to have given up, based on their defense, park factor, and opponents.

National League sorted by the number of runs B-Ref expects them to have given up based on park, opponents, and defense. https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/2026-value-pitching.shtml

Anyone who played a lot of Baseball Stars a lot ought to be familiar with this play. Also, if you force two of the infielders too close together during a rundown, one will eventually throw the ball into the outfield.
