Apologies for three patches in a row! It would have been better to release them all in one patch, but I was not sure about what I could get done before I hit the road for the holidays.

Original postThis update contains the following bug fixes and enhancements:
The title bar of the application now contains the complete path to the DigitalDiamondDataFilesV11 folder. This will make it much easier for new users to find the DigitalDiamondDataFilesV11 folder on their computer.
Updated the code that handles extra base chances and updated the Board Game Companion charts to support these changes. Users are encouraged to update their game charts. For more information follow this link.
Updated the 2023 pitch ratios in preparation for the "2023 Early Release" season library, which will be released soon.
Fixed an issues that caused fast play to take longer as it proceeds through the season. For some seasons this caused the full season fast play to end up taking a very long time to complete. This fix will result in a "library optimization" to take place the first time you run the game after the update to 11.2.9. This can take several minutes depending on how many libraries you have installed. You can follow the process by watching the Status Bar at the bottom of the window.
Added a new command (SQZG) that allows you to bunt with runners on first and third. Here are the details: "SQZG: Unsuccessful squeeze. Batter bunts up the third base line and the runner on third has to hold. The third baseman throws to the second baseman covering first for the out. The runner on first is safe at second."
The ratings import process has received an upgrade that includes bug fixes and improvements. I will be gradually updating the ratings in libraries starting with the "2023 Early Release" and working my way backwards in time. For more information follow this link.
Fixed a bug with the logic that assigns Holds to pitchers. Specifically, Holds were incorrectly assigned to pitchers who entered an inning with the lead, blew the lead and were not taken out during the inning, and then his team took the lead again in the next half inning.

- Fixed a bug with a walk-off triple resulting in the batter scoring without any explanation why they were able to advance on the play.
- Fixed a bug when filtering for catchers on the View/Browse Players Page. Only catchers with a range of 3 (e.g. "C") were shown. Catchers with other range ratings "e.g., C(2)" were are not displaying.

Original postVersion 11.2.5 contains the following updates:
- Created a new board game command that allows you to enter an infield throwing error on a ground ball. For example, ET46 results in the second baseman fielding a ground ball and commiting an error on the throw to short. You can control base runner advancement on the error using the usual R0N, R1N, R2N, R3N. This new command is in the Board Game Companion Guide.
- Created a new board game command that allows you to enter an infield throwing error on an attempted groundout double play. The command requires a runner on first. The fielder's choice out takes place at second, and the error takes place on the relay throw to first. For example, FCET4 results in a ground ball to second. The second baseman throws to short for the fielder’s choice. The shortstop throws wild attempting to get the batter at first. You can control base runner advancement on the error using the usual R0N, R1N, R2N, R3N. This new command is in the Board Game Companion Guide.
- Updated the line out to the infield command to allow a throwing error when attempting to double off a player on base. For example, L6ET results in a line out to the shortstop who attempts to double up the lead runner but throws wild. You can control base runner advancement on the error using the usual R0N, R1N, R2N, R3N. This new command is in the Board Game Companion Guide.
- Updated the charts to include the use of all three of these new/updated commands. You will have to reset the board game companion portion of the charts using the Chart Editor. From the Chart Editor you can select Board Game Companion Commands for the Chart Group and then click on the red "Reset All Commands" button. If you have made your own changes to the board game companion portion of the charts some of your changes will be overwritten. Specifically, the rare play and error sections of the charts will change when you update. If you have made any changes to the rare play commands or error commands, you will want to make a note of your changes so you can enter them back into the charts after you reset.
- Added a new feature that is useful when a player appears in a library multiple times based on stats from different seasons. For example, Hank Aaron appears on one team using his '57 season and on a different team using his '63 season. There is now an option in the Advanced Misc Options Group that adds the player's two-digit Year/LgAve to the end of the last name for all players in the library (e.g., Aaron-57, Aaron-63). This does not permenantly change the last name and will not interfere with the display of player pictures.
- Added OBR to the batter's auto generated Statis Pro in-game notes. The player's OBR is now displayed in the notes for batters.
- Improved the algorithm used to calculate relief pitcher usage.
- Fixed a bug with the calculation of walks on Statis Pro Basic batter/pitcher cards.
- Minor correction to the playoff specific "at bat" play by play.
- Fixed an issue with the "wins by month" visualization report.
- Fixed a play by play issue with ground ball triple plays.
Thanks to all for the excellent feedback you provide. It helps make the game better!

Original postThe following fixes are included in this release:
- Fixed a bug with the PA and IP requirements for players to appear on the leader board. The bug happened only when some teams in the library were not on the schedule.
- Added a player's year to the player popup and the team roster report. This is helpful when a player is in a library more than once (playing in different seasons).
- Added a column to the team roster report for player active status. This allows the user to sort and filter by roster active status.
- Fixed a bug that prevented end of game play by play and sound when the game ended on a wild pitch or passed ball.
- When the batter is safe on a dropped third strike, the DROPK command now assigns a wild pitch to the pitcher. If you add PB to the command, a passed ball will be assigned to the catcher instead. In either case, no errors are assigned and any runs scored are unearned.
- Fixed a typo in the Player Editor.
