Site Features: Composite totals added to Team Game Finder
Posted by Neil Paine on June 21, 2011
Here's another new addition to the Play Index -- the Team Batting & Pitching Game Finders will now output a team's composite batting or pitching stats from the games in question. This will allow you to find things like the teams who drew the most single-season walks in the 2000s:
| Rk | Tm | Year | BB ▾ |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SEA | 2000 | 775 |
| 2 | OAK | 2000 | 750 |
| 3 | SFG | 2000 | 709 |
| 4 | SFG | 2004 | 705 |
| 5 | BOS | 2007 | 689 |
| 6 | CLE | 2000 | 685 |
| 7 | NYY | 2003 | 684 |
| 8 | SDP | 2001 | 678 |
| 9 | STL | 2000 | 675 |
| 10 | NYM | 2000 | 675 |
Similarly, you can use the Pitching Game Finder to look for team leaders like 2000-2011 teams that allowed the most HR in a season:
| Rk | Tm | Year | HR ▾ |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | KCR | 2000 | 239 |
| 2 | COL | 2001 | 239 |
| 3 | CIN | 2004 | 236 |
| 4 | HOU | 2000 | 234 |
| 5 | CHC | 2000 | 231 |
| 6 | ANA | 2000 | 228 |
| 7 | COL | 2002 | 225 |
| 8 | CHW | 2004 | 224 |
| 9 | TEX | 2001 | 222 |
| 10 | HOU | 2001 | 221 |
| 11 | COL | 2000 | 221 |
While we don't have a full-fledged Team Season Finder yet, this is an easy way to get some of the same results.

Cool!
Please add a "not equal to" option in your Play Index selection criteria across the board, and you will have my eternal gratitude.

Neil, this is excellent news.
Furthermore, the Team Game Finder search results now show the totals in all categories for the games found, not just the category that was searched for.

Sweet addition, as always.

#1 - Hi Diane, I think Sean's going to take a look at that at some point... Can't say when it would happen, but it's definitely been filed under suggestions. 🙂

Can we get stolen bases to show up too?
