Dont get me wrong, i wasnt saying that was the only combination of factoring in umpires, and certainly if you feel you can read a catchers game and how it will work with an umpires tendencies than more power to you. thats probably above my pay grade to be honest. i was just trying to simply lay out that an umps tendencies have to be cross examined by a more substantial factor than day/night, stadium, etc. personally i would think it would matter the pitcher-ump moreso than the catcher-ump, but ive only been learning to do baseball for three years now and have a lot to learn still.
if you can process all three and getting a running trend on calls more power to you but i think it may entangle the numbers you are trying get down to so maybe best to run the numbers stand alone and compare side by side. pitcher x with ump a versus catcher x with ump a and instead adding them subtract them from the other. likely the catchers combo less the pitchers result as they wont finish the game
One last thing, just something remember for better forum interactions. dont get hung up on peoples numbers and records. way too many ways they can interpreted wrong, and if you whip out the measuring stick too often people will quickly lose sight of what you are trying to share. records dont always have the half and quarter plays, and contest picks get thrown into records where you maybe made picks that were not bets. anways, GL and let me know if you crack a new way to get into those stats. cause i more often than not discard them unless its an overwhelming type of sore thumb that begs to be factored
