I wouldn't expect the difference to pop-out amongst the two back-to-back home starts. But there's an explanation. Wind.
8/26 6 In from LF

9/5 3 In from LF
9/9 10 Out to CF

Does it impact spin rates?
Looks like it. Miller Park looks different, eh?
There's been some good stuff posted on weather/altitude effects on spin, I'll link 'em up later.....

Doesn't look good for Junior Griffey, that is not what you want to see. Good game, otherwise.

Harry, I've had in my head for a while that weather effects could be important. That's why I added a section to the parser to extract them and input them to the database.
But I didn't have the specifics worked out, and you and Josh Kalk are showing some examples now that prove my hunch was worthwhile.
This is very exciting. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Mike. There are some very interesting things emerging from the data already. Thanks for accelerating the process.
