Hi,
been wondering why PA was chosen for the 5x5 display?
personally, i find it misleading about the quality of a players performance,
particularly with players who aren’t getting hits but walking a lot.
for example,
i own bo bichette.
saw that his stat line after his first game was 5 PA, 1 run, 1 SB, and .000 AVG.
if that .000 avg in 5 PA comes from 1 AB and 4 walks,
that’s a very different result
than if he went 0 for 5 and reached on an error or fielder’s choice.
ideally, there’d be a new column for AB which would basically allow us to do quick subtraction for walk totals.
in generally, ottoneu is a lovely, intuitive interface with rapid response on changes and dedicated knowledge group of users and admins.
this is just a small issue on what would give me personally greater clarity on player performance when looking at another owner’s team page or my own.
not meant as a dig.
great work, everyone!

If I remember properly, I basically split into “points leagues have ABs as point-producing moments” and “4x4 has OBP so PA work really great to complement all the info”. I might have not fully considered 5x5 here. I’ll leave this open and get to it sometime this season.
Could you link to your league’s homepage? Having a 5x5 league to test against is always helpful. Thanks!
another example, niv.
when i’m in today’s stats,
if i see something like 2 PA 1 run .000,
i have no idea if i’m trending down in avg
or holding steady.
if that instead said 0 AB 1 run .000,
i could presume a walk/HB or two.
i’m sure we all check boxscores anyway.
but it’d be fantastic to be able to put together a little more context in a feature like today’s stats.
again, appreciate the fast response as always.

5x5 leagues will now show ABs instead of PAs. This change is live and the Today’s Stats page will take about a hour to start working properly, as I have to regenerate previous days.
thanks, niv.
you do so much to make/keep this community great.
it’s very much appreciated.
