ARam v2.0 IS ALIVE!

armissel, is there any relatively easy way for you to sort this data by time period? For example, the last time you looked at Ramirez’s numbers was on the 13th. Is there an easy way for you to find out what he’s done since then? Since the first time you did this? Etc.
The reason I ask is that his numbers are going to be higher, at the very least, because he had such an unusual start. Has he maintained that (pitches per pa, walks, etc.) or has it slowly returned closer to his the levels he had over the last 3 or so years?

If anything, he’s actually increased his discipline, as far as I can tell. If you look at my first ARam PDW (plate discipline watch) from late April, you can see he was looking at 4.02 P/PA; now it’s up to 4.12. The other numbers have remained pretty steady, except for the strikeout rate (which has risen) and the walk rate (which has dropped).
