Player showing wrong MLB team when looking at a date in the past

Not Grant Taylor related, however not sure which topic this fits in.

Brandon Lowe reverted back to TBR on my lineup card last night and shows that he didn’t play. Just want to make sure his 5 RBI with PIT get counted for my team. Screenshot below. Thanks.

Anyway let me check this out

He’s back on Pittsburgh now. Around 4-5a ET there is sometimes weirdness since that is when FanGraphs does its big ingestion of the previous day’s stats and records. Maybe that is why you saw this?

I’m certain without looking too hard that you got those stats.

Yes, the time frame was around then.

Thanks for taking a look and confirming the stats.

@nivshah looks like the issue is still occuring?

on 4/13 he’s listed as TBR, although i did receive his stats per Team Production:
Ottoneu Fantasy Baseball - live - DCRBI (Virtual Baseball Team)

on 4/14 he’s listed as TBR and no stats were received:
Ottoneu Fantasy Baseball - live - DCRBI (Virtual Baseball Team)

Well, this is getting into the nitty gritty, but the best way to know that Ottonue knows that Brandon Lowe is on the Pirates is to click his name - he’s on Pittsburgh on his player page.

My guess is something is cached here, and when the box score for yesterday is re-generated, he’ll show as being on Pittsburgh again. Either way, your Standings page reflects his stats from yesterday, so you can minimally rest assured on that.

I’m going to figure out what data source has Lowe on the Rays still - may take me a little while to sort out. I will remove the Resolved tag from this thread in the meantime.

Alright, the bug here is when the site is looking up a player’s pro team for a given date, that data source is a little scuffed. I’ve been messing around with this for a while and I’ll take another pass at it now.

I am again confirming that Lowe’s stats are 100% captured in Standings - I just need to regenerate these box scores after getting his team on a given past date to show up right.

I’ve fixed this bug. I’ve kicked off regenerating all the Daily Stats pages for the season, and Lowe should show the Pirates for all dates prior to today pretty soon.

Appreciate the follow-up here! Always double-check my work.

Box scores have been updated and I’m marking this as resolved again.

Little glitch in the matrix, and I have now gone and double and triple checked to make sure I’m not seeing things and not going crazy.

Royce Lewis is on my team, the Superfly Hippos of Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum Baseball. On the lineup and today’s stats pages he shows up as “Royce Lewis MIA 3B R”. On the roster page he shows up (more appropriately) as “Royce Lewis MIN”. Because the font is very small on my screen I went back and forth.

Pretty odd and interesting coincidence that it was two team abbreviations so close to one another.

Anyone experience similar? Is there another reasonable explanation to what I’m seeing that I’m missing?

Definitely says MIA on the live page for yesterday. I’m surprised that it hasn’t been overwritten yet, since yesterday’s live page boxes are updated until games start today. It’ll almost certainly shake out.

Nope, this is a bug. When I try to look up Royce Lewis’s team on April 27th, it says he’s on the Miami AA team.

Looking into it.

Really similar to this:

Similarly, it is cosmetic and won’t affect his stats.

These issues were the same, so I merged the thread.

I believe I’ve fixed this for Royce Lewis and this should be generally fixed going forward. I’m going to keep an eye on it and move other similar questions here as they come up.

Basically, we have a new data source for what pro team a player was on on a given date, and I’m still learning the various values and how to use it.

This isn’t really fixed for Royce Lewis quite yet, and I’m working with our data provider to figure out what is going on.

Gonna replace this data source with another one. Will update when I have some progress!

Did you know that in 2020, Royce Lewis was a SS in the Marlins (then Florida?) system?

We are learning the coolest stuff here

To be clear this isn’t true but is what that data source was positing. May have had a minor league team change orgs or something. Anyway, all an aside, I’m working on it

Royce Lewis was on this team in 2020. The site misnterpreted the data provider as thinking he was on that team now. The site also considers this team a Marlins farm team and not, as they were in 2020, a Twins farm team.

Well, that explains it. AI hallucination. Appreciate you being all over it, Niv
