@tangotiger looking to improve defender decision making in Bitball. Do you know if there is an algorithm/model/etc that can weigh player speed/dist from base/etc to give a value of the most important/likely runner to target to get out?

Kenney Shape is now FREE! (and it'll remain free, forever) ✨
Previously a paid tool, I'm releasing it as a gift to the community. Today's update will be the final one, with no further updates planned. That way I can focus on new software & projects!

News: I have been transferred to the 60-day IL with Kidney Stones. 0/10, would not recommend.

(all of these guys had great numbers on a screen in their primes and you wouldn't want them if they didn't)
At some point, baseball has to get back to valuing ballplayers and not just numbers on a screen. Give me the Freddie Freemans, the Buster Poseys, Hunter Pences, Pablo Sandovals, Michael Youngs, Ian Kinslers of the world. Guys who just flat out know how to play the game. Everyone wants to talk launch angle and exit velo, but what happened to valuing a quality at bat?” The 9-pitch battle that might end in an out, but forces a pitcher to show everything he’s got.
The guy who hits behind the runner, takes what’s given, or just refuses to give a pitcher an easy inning. Those at-bats might not look sexy in the box score, but they show up in the 7th, 8th, and 9th. Some of these dudes could absolutely leave the yard too. That’s the point. They weren’t one-dimensional. Somewhere along the way, we confused measurable tools with knowing how to win baseball games.
I’m not against analytics or hitting the ball hard, but there is an art to winning that you can’t fully measure. We need more guys who know how to play baseball, not just hitters, not just athletes, ballplayers. And I promise you, those dudes never go out of style

yeah, Freeman is beloved by every metric, old and new. The bigger point may be OK but that's an odd example.

I quit my day job. Tabletop Tavern is my full time job as of today.
I got to make that call because you all showed up for this game, bought it, posted about it, and told me what you wanted from it. That is the whole reason this is possible.
Everything goes into the **Rift of Magic** update this fall. Locking in.
Thank you. Truly.❤️

I had planned 1 last update this season to come out sometime in September. Unfortunately, there are matters in my personal life that require my full attention. I will be taking a break on development of Bitball for the time being. 1/2
