Antonio Bastardo's last Mets game should be listed as 7/30/2016, the night they retired Piazza's number as well as everybody's patience where the slowest lefty who ever lived between pitches was concerned. Thank you for your indulgence.

Benjamin Grimm Feb 14 2017 08:04 PM Re: U(MDB) Bastard(o)

Thanks for pointing that out. It's been fixed. I checked to see if there were any other similar problems and I found one: Justin Ruggiano had the wrong first game: July 31 instead of July 30. These values get updated automatically whenever I paste in a box score, but something must have gone wrong when I pasted the July 30 box score.

I thank you and posterity thanks you.

Mac Scarce, No. 44 in 1975 (per latest edition of MBTN, BB Ref, 1975 yearbook and 42-year-old memory), is listed on UMDB, both on his player page and the numbers page, as No. 33. Anywhere else, I'd say, "believe it or not, the subject of Mac Scarce's number came up in conversation last night," but here it doesn't seem like something I'd have to convince anybody of.

I'll have to defer to John Cougar Lunchbucket on this one...

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 20 2017 01:05 PM Re: U(MDB) Bastard(o)

I will look it up, it's possible Mac was overlooked when I ported my data to the umdb

Jim Gosger was acquired from the Pilots on July 14, 1969, as a player to be named later from the Greg Goossen deal on February 5. He is listed on UMDB as purchased from the Pirates on September 9, which was two days after his first game as a Met. He had been with Tidewater for 58 games in '69. The Cubs' acquisition of Rene Rivera by waiver claim on August 19, 2017, same day as what is now known as the Jacob Rhame trade, has not been added to the transactions page. Sure, you and I know it happened, but what of future generations?

Benjamin Grimm Sep 01 2017 03:47 PM Re: U(MDB) Bastard(o)

I'm afraid I've been a somewhat neglectful steward of the UMDB lately. Thanks for pointing out the Rene Rivera thing. As for Jim Gosger, I don't know what happened there, but it's been corrected. I also still have to add the Neil Walker trade to the Brewers (once known as the Seattle Pilots) but I'm waiting for the players to be named later.

G-Fafif Sep 01 2017 05:29 PM Re: U(MDB) Bastard(o)

Keeping in touch with Stockholm soaks up a lot of a steward's bandwidth.

Yankee fans must be reading the UMBD because Tyler Clippard is an all-time more popular look-up there than Noah Syndergaard.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 12 2017 08:06 PM Re: U(MDB) Bastard(o)

The trade has been officially logged in the Ultimate Mets Database. Some day, Eric Hanhold will be a household name. At least, in his household.

The UMBD 2017 Mets page lists a "Nick Carr". Who's that? http://www.ultimatemets.com/metannual.php?ThisYear=2017

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 18 2017 04:54 PM Re: U(MDB) Bastard(o)

Short term replacement for Peter Criss, makeup was "The Fox"

What happened was, after a recent September callup, I had accidentally activated the wrong minor leaguer. I thought I had fully fixed my mistake, but I guess I missed a step. Nick Carr no longer appears on that page.

Edgy MD Sep 18 2017 07:12 PM Re: U(MDB) Bastard(o)

He lasted longer than The Fox.

G-Fafif Sep 28 2017 07:07 PM Re: U(MDB) Bastard(o)

I notice the Other Teams drag down menu continues to list the Florida Marlins rather than the Miami Marlins. Don't know if this is an aesthetic call or a detail that escaped the Ultimate arbiter's attention when the Marlins rebranded in 2012.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 28 2017 07:30 PM Re: U(MDB) Bastard(o)

You really keep me honest! No, this one's an oversight. The lack of an update to the name of the Angels, however, is intentional.

batmagadanleadoff Oct 06 2017 04:04 PM Re: U(MDB) Bastard(o)

A few years ago, you created graphs for each player, showing which games they played (and didn't play). I forgot how to access those.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 06 2017 04:56 PM Re: U(MDB) Bastard(o)

Select a season, then click the Charts and Graphs tab. http://ultimatemets.com/metannual.php?T ... 17&tabno=C

Edgy MD Nov 30 2017 05:31 PM Re: U(MDB) Bastard(o)

If I select 1890-1961 from the SEASONS menu, I totally get 404'd. And then I feel sad.

Benjamin Grimm Nov 30 2017 05:42 PM Re: U(MDB) Bastard(o)

Thanks for letting me know! I'll take a look when I get a chance as part of my ongoing effort to make the world less sad.

Benjamin Grimm Dec 01 2017 02:59 PM Re: U(MDB) Bastard(o)

Please give it another try.

Edgy MD Dec 01 2017 06:07 PM Re: U(MDB) Bastard(o)

That's great, thanks. Perhaps the menu should be titled "YEARS," since it covers the whole year, beyond the baseball schedule, and it includes years without any Mets season at all. Also, perhaps pre-1962 years could appear on that menu that include dates beyond the birthdays of Mets uniform personnel, like finding Joan Payson's birth in 1903, or finding the birth of Polo Grounds III in 1891.
