The problem with the top/bottom of the inning situation is there is no indication in the atbats or pitches table whether the at bat is a home at bat or an away at bat, so any work on that data that requires home/away info would require some manual intervention.

Well the top or bottom of the inning is easy to figure out the home team is always in the bottom and the away team is always in the top. So you can do join the games table and get that info so you know if it is in the top or bottom. All the data is in the database for that so no reason to change it.

Very nice, but a couple of questions/feature requests. I understand why some things would have to make the cut and others would not, but is there any reason why you omit spin direction and rate from the pitches table? It's a pretty common variable in Pitch FX analysis, although this is probably something I could come up with by modifying the scripts. Also, is there a way to indicate top/bottom of inning in the at bats data? I know that, in the XML data, home and away at bats are separated into different groups of columns. Instead of just throwing the data together, is there a way to script in Top/Bot inning? This is probably something I could not script on my own, although I might be able to do it by modifying the tables directly for my own research. Just downloaded your database.

I remember downloading the files from Mike Fast website a year or so back and trying it so I knew i had to make some changes. I only ran hack_4day so far. I got an error saying invalid switch /games which I have no idea about but it still worked. Only other issue i had with that file is it said starting 4/12/10 and ending 4/15/10 but it actually stopped downloading on 4/14/10. I changed mday -1 to just mday and that corrected that problem lol. Now I have game files 4/12 to 4/15 when I run the perl script to load the database, i'm assuming it will just skip over 4/12 to 4/14 since its already in there. IOW, there wont be any duplicates? i'll run the other scripts later lol. Yeah I figured I’d run into some problems lol.

Some of the commands in the perl file you have to change if your on windows I believe. I changed rm to del and it worked. fix it.
