Weird IP/G discrepancy Topic

Sent this ticket last night:

I'm in a league with pitcher 2011 Javier Vazquez on my team. In both the SLB database and at baseball-reference.com he's listed as having played 32 games and thrown 192.2 innings. That works out to just over 6 innings per game, but in both the draft center and on his player profile page his IP/G is given as 5.35. Any idea why that might be? And should I be setting his pitch count based on his actual IP/G, or the one SLB lists him as having? Thanks.

Got this response today:

Thanks we will look into it, some of these stats are adjusted relative to the league, I just can't remember if IP/G is. Base everything off the SLB reports as that is what is pulled into engine. IP/G will effectively impact player stamina and usability. Thankfully whether 5.35 or 6 not massively off, but I agree our reports should be more transparent. But definitely follow what we have vice BBR for how they should be expected to perform in SLB engine.

I can't imagine IP/G is an adjusted stat.

As Admin says, it's not a massive difference, but it is a difference, and not in my favor, ha ha.

Anyone else ever have a problem like this?

Seems like they're using the wrong number of appearances for some reason. It looks like he had 3 appearances as a PH and 1 as a PR (see the appearances section on BR) for a total of 36 'appearances' and 192.6 / 36 = 5.35

I checked a few other pitchers but didn't see the same type of issue so maybe it is a data source problem on Vasquez? Anyway they oughta fix it

Poking around more it seems like 2008 Tom Glavine has a similar issue shows 4.52 as IP/G but actual is 63.3 innings in 13 games pitched which is 4.86
He had one PH appearance and 63.3 / 14 = 4.52

Guessing now that there must be others

Adam Wainwright has at least a couple of seasons that seem off too

Looked at Ruth 15-17, and they all seem off as well. Couldn’t figure out where the extra appearances were from, but he’s credited with a lower IP/G than his GP/IP would suggest

Thanks, combalt. I told Admin about your post and they're looking into it.
