The reason that some of the pitch counts are good and some are not is the same reason that some ST games had good pitch counts and some did not. The Pitch F/X system is still being installed in every minor league park in baseball, as well as every ST park. That is not yet a completed process. In fact, when I was looking for jobs in baseball last month, I found a lot of ads calling for people to run the pitch F/X system to test that it was working or to help install it at various parks.
So...the games where the scorer has pitch F/X are going to have the right pitch counts, and the games where the scorer does not...probably won't.
I'm glad to hear that some of the awesome reports are verified. :D And I certainly wasn't saying that Capps is no good or anything...I'd like to see him promoted as well. Just throwing out a caution that the pitch counts can't be trusted without verifying that the whole box score makes some sense. That's an easy thing to check on when you report from the box score though...it will stand out rather badly in the games without pitch F/X.
Good show...keep the minor league good times rolling. :D
