Inconsistent Manufacturing Suspected Cause of Homer-Happy MLB Season

Inconsistent Manufacturing Suspected Cause of Homer-Happy MLB Season

Without a doubt, the 2017 Major League Baseball season has been one for the record books. Currently, the leagues is poised to shatter the average home runs per game average of 1.17 by almost a tenth of a point (MLB average stands at 1.26 home runs per game at the moment). What this means is that if the league continues this pace, they will effectively destroy the previous single season home run record from 2000 by an impressively mystifying 350 additional homers (roughly 6400 homeruns). And although layman's logic would point towards advances in science or athlete training as the culprit, what many researchers are now finding is almost equally amazing: the baseballs themselves are at least partially responsible for the increase and it's due to inconsistent manufacturing.

Baseball-Reference.com via 538

The baseball wasn't initially expected as the source behind the recent spate of homers in the Major League. Last year, Ben Lindbergh and Rob Arthur began looking at the data to understand the sudden spike in home runs around the league. Beginning in the '09 season, the average runs per game inning to decline, from 4.7 runs per inning in '08 and eventually falling to 3.9 by the end of 2014. Something strange was happening in 2014, however. At the end of the season and into the postseason, teams that were still alive saw their runs spike from 4.06 at the beginning of the season to an average of 4.25 by the end of the season. Then in 2015, things got more interesting.

Pitcher on the Mound

Initially, 2010 was thought to be the "Year of the Pitcher", with many observers and commentators praising the explosion of talent at the mound for producing runs at a much lower rate than they had in any full season prior to 2010. So when the 2010 season kicked off and we witnessed an explosion of home runs that couldn't be attributed to anything like an increased strike zone or increased percentage of contact (at-bats minus strikeouts). What turned out to be the actual cause would take insiders and observers almost four more years to understand.

The culprit, as it turns out, was the ball itself. In June, Mitchel Lichtman and Ben Lindbergh started studying the official game ball in an attempt to understand what may be contributing to the spike in homers. Through experimentation on more than three dozen baseballs, they found what they had begun to suspect: the baseballs from 2015 were "bouncier" than previously. As they continued to look at historically used game balls and evaluate newer game balls, they noticed that the physical makeup of the ball had seemingly changed. The new balls were now smoother and the seams smaller, subjecting the ball to less air resistance. Additionally, the team found that the balls had begun to become "harder" providing for a better energy return when struck with a bat. The "problem" was that there was no announcement of changes being made to the official ball. 

The MLB for their part have denied that any such changes were made to the official game ball and that all materials currently in use are identical to previous generations. They also note that all game balls must fall within the league standard, which may have been left purposely wide so as to retain some unpredictability to the game. Anecdotally, players and coaches also seem to believe that a change has been made to the ball. In a recent interview with the Orange County Register, New York Mets manager Terry Collins said "The seams of the ball are definitely lower...and there is no question that the ball is harder." His voice joins that of Jake Arrieta ("I'll get a ball hit back that is oblong shaped and that never happened until this year"), Andrew McCutchen and pitcher Justin Verlander who have all mentioned changes to the official ball in recent months.

So what does this have to do with inventory solutions? Well in a nutshell, this is a pretty low-stakes example of the importance of consistency in your products. Small changes can have large impacts and in other cases could open your business up to unwelcome or unexpected attention. Having solid, reliable, and well-documented bills of material and assembly instructions could mean a world of difference and might help as a source of information if you are just now beginning to establish standardization across your products. 

What the moneyball data seems to suggest now is that after years of fluctuation, the performance of game balls is beginning to become consistent. By evaluating the standard of deviation in drag over the last few years, the trend is that the balls used across the league have become much more homogenous in their performance. One could suppose that with the league disavowing any knowledge of changes to the ball or the standards by which they are evaluated, the entire incident could be chalked up to a decade-long trend to bring standardization to baseball with an acceleration within the past two years pointing towards a game ball that would perform predictably game after game. 

And for those that are curious, here's a video from How It's Made detailing the process:

After the launch of Order Time, our clients will have the choice between a desktop solution & a cloud solution

    Falling into Autumn

    October 31, 2016 at 8:58 AMJoshua Goldberg

    Hey Crunchers, hope everyone had a successful October and is ready for the Holiday season! So our readers know, our blogs until the end of the year will be more condensed, as we finish development on our newest product, Order Time.

    Although we are focused on finishing & releasing Order Time, one thing we are committed too is not letting our support or development on All Orders slip. This is evident by our upcoming release of All Orders version 6.2.7. The newest release adds 15 new features & fixes some common issues (i.e. Duplicate item error when trying to reconcile QuickBooks to All Orders.) Please visit our known issues section of our support page to view the full list of Added & Fixed Features of 6.2.7.

    One new feature area I would like to highlight briefly has to do with Packages. With All Orders, you can now create Packages & Boxes and can specify what items go into each Package/Box. In order to use this new feature, you need to manually turn it on by going to Preferences --> Shipping --> Company Preferences --> Package. After turning the preference on, you now have the ability to:

    • Create (either Automatically or Manually generated) & Print UCC's (Uniform Commercial Codes)
    • After inserting Items on your Ship Doc, you can click on the Package Button & Create Packages for Shipment
      • You can create Default Weight Properties for Package Types & Create Tracking Numbers
    • Once the Packages are created, you can create & view a Package Manifest that shows the breakdown of quantities
    • Integrate your shipping with FedEx & UPS

    Just a quick reminder that TODAY is the final day to get discounted registration for the Numbercruncher Client Retreat! Use code NC17 to save at checkout until 11:59pm TONIGHT (10/31)! The Client Retreat will be held February 6th through 9th in Dania Beach, Florida and will cover topics on All Orders, All Orders Web, All Orders Mobile, Integration Options, Business Cycles, Inventory Primer, Reports & More! The Retreat is the perfect opportunity to learn everything you ever wanted to know about current & future Numbercruncher products, as well as, the perfect opportunity to escape the harsh winters of up north!

    The end of the year is fast approaching, make sure your All Orders software is setup and working properly before the holiday rush hits! Don't hesitate in contacting us, if you have any questions or need to setup training

    Warming up with changes

    September 30, 2016 at 8:43 AMJoshua Goldberg

    Hey Cruncher followers! Hope everyone is enjoying their start of Autumn. Autumn notoriously brings change; whether its leaves on the trees or your pumpkin designs for Halloween. Here at Numbercruncher, we're welcoming change with the development of our newest product, Order Time. More details will be announced in the coming months, but I want to start off this blog with clearing up a misconception we've been hearing. 

    Order Time is going to be a cloud based solution for Inventory & Order Management needs. We will be offering a conversion from All Orders to Order Time, for those customers who are interested. We will not be forcing any customers to switch nor will Numbercruncher stop servicing or providing support for All Orders. We are developing this new product to provide our services to more clients, not limit the services of our existing customers. Follow our blog for updates leading up to launch! 

    Speaking of All Orders, we are excited to bring two new features to our clients! The first feature is Complex Calculations & the other is a Bound Book.

    The Complex Calculations feature is for manufacturers that need to figure out the quantity of an item that is calculated with different quantities or formulas. This feature is fully customizable without any additional cost to you!

    EXAMPLE of Complex Calculations:

    Typically a user would enter an item, quantity and price on a sales order. However the requirement is the quantity is determined as 

    Let P = # of Pieces. 
    Let F = Feet 
    Let I = Inches 
    Let Q = Quantity Ordered 

    Q = P X (F + I/12) 

    Using custom fields, we customize All Orders such that the Quantity box cannot be edited directly rather the user will have to enter P, F and I for Quantity. 

    We recently did a Complex Calculation customization for DCM Computing Service's client Berry's Tin Shop.

    The following is a review of All Orders Complex Calculations by the Owner of DCM Computing Services, Danny Morris, "At DCM Computing Services I look to help my clients meet their business needs.  When Berry's Tin Shop approached me about needing a sales system for their manufacturing business, I went to Intuit to see about systems that integrated with Quickbooks.  One of their recommendations: NumberCruncher.  Berry's Tin Shop had a unique need to track inventory of a product which they sold by the linear foot.  At the sales counter, however, they sold custom length pieces.  The complex Calculations that NumberCruncher customized for us allows the salesman to make purchase orders of specific custom products from a single inventory item.  For example, one customer can order 15 panels of 29 gauge dark red tin cut at 8'6".  The manufacturing floor will see the order and from the single roll of dark red 29 gauge tin, custom cut the pieces as needed.  The inventory system and invoice system will see an order of [number of pieces * (feet + inches)]  or in this case 15*8.5 linear feet (127.5) * the cost per linear foot.  No more need to calculate the linear feet needed by hand and no more error.  The invoice is also customizable to include these fields for the needed products.  Now the customer, salesperson, back-office, and manufacturing floor can all be on the same page, literally."

    This is just one example of how the All Orders Complex Calculation feature can benefit your business. To find out more, please contact us today!

    The other exciting new feature All Orders is bringing to our clients is the All Orders Bound Book. The All Orders Bound Book application allows companies buying and selling firearms to maintain a bound book database in accordance with FTA regulations. As transactions are entered into the All Orders system the separate bound book database can be synchronized and auto populated based on the inventory in and out. These transactions include: 

    • ·         Serial #s going out of inventory on shipping documents.
    • ·         Serial #s going into inventory with receiving documents.
    • ·         Serial #s going out of inventory as components on work orders.
    • ·         Serial #s going into inventory as assembled items on work orders.
    • ·         Serial #s going into and out of inventory on adjustment and transfers. 

    Columns available on the bound include: 

    • ·         In Manufacturer/Importer
    • ·         In Model
    • ·         In Serial #
    • ·         In Type Of Firearm
    • ·         In Caliber/Gauge
    • ·         Date In
    • ·         In Name/Address
    • ·         Completed Manufacture Date
    • ·         Out Manufacturer/Importer
    • ·         Out Type Of Firearm
    • ·         Out Caliber/Gauge
    • ·         Date Out
    • ·         Out Name/Address
    • ·         Style #
    • ·         Item #
    • ·         All Orders Document In
    • ·         All Orders Document Out
    • ·         Notes

     Some of the features include:

    • ·         Search for any data in any column
    • ·         Hide/show columns
    • ·         Setup users with their own user name and password
    • ·         Import additional entries from Excel
    • ·         Export to CSV
    • ·         Printable Bound Book and Inventory reports
    • ·         Maintain Excise Tax/Annual Report based on bound book and All Orders data with columns including serial #, type of firearm, date out, name/address out, order #, item #.

    An example of how the Bound Book looks in All Orders. To view the full Bound Book example, please click HERE then click the MORE tab

     

    These are just a few of the new features All Orders introduced recently. Please contact us to find out what else our clients now have access too!

    The Summer Crunch

    July 25, 2016 at 8:37 AMJoshua Goldberg

    Hey Everyone! Hope you enjoyed your weekend and are ready for another busy work week! I know the NumberCruncher blog has been on a bit of a hiatus the last couple of weeks, but we're back and ready to Crunch through these long hot South Florida summer days. During these summer months our Support Team has been hard at work answering our current clients questions and helping setup All Orders by NumberCruncher on new client's networks. The grind never seems to slow down at our offices, especially during summer, when companies are reevaluating their current Inventory Management software and are deciding if its up-to-par or if their needs are not being met or satisfied. If your company is in the midst of reevaluating your software, please remember that NumberCruncher provides all prospective clients with an hour-long demo to make sure our software is a perfect fit, as well as, a 30-day no commitment FULL software trial before you decide to buy. We don't want your company buying our software, if it isn't the ideal fit for your business. To Learn more about ALL ORDERS please click HERE or give us a call at 866-278-6243 TODAY!

    Recently, All Orders by NumberCruncher got featured on a number of websites. To begin the month, Financesonline.com wrote a review and named ALL ORDERS as one of their Rising Stars for 2016. Finances Online also recognized All Orders with their Great User Experience Certificate & Award. 

     

    NumberCruncher.com would like to thank Financesonline.com for recognizing us and writing a review on All Orders. Finances Online is the fastest growing independent review platform for B2B, SaaS and Financial Solutions.  

    Also this month, Scott Gregory of Better Bottom Line: the QuickBooks Expert, included NumberCruncher in his "Can QuickBooks Handle My Inventory?" guide. Scott is a certified QuickBooks Expert who has worked with QuickBooks software for 15+ years and knows a thing or two about QuickBooks add-on solutions. For him to feature NumberCruncher is his guide, is a big deal to us!
