m.e.t.b.o.t. has been presented with so many opportunities to implement m.e.t.b.o.t.'s new programming. in the 9 april game, web gems were attributed to metropolitan second baseman alex cora and metropolitan third baseman david wright. these defensive plays saved 0.030 and 0.014 wpa, respectively. while neither defensive player benefitted from their web gem in terms of mechanical schaefer voting, metropolitan starting pitcher mike pelfrey was debited a total of 0.044 wpa. this effectively reduced his schaefer vote from 1.26 to 0.67, while increasing the voting for other metropolitan players to varying degrees relative to their contributions to win percentages. in the 10 april game, a web gem was attributed to metropolitan third baseman david wright. 0.017 wpa was credited to metropolitan third baseman david wright, and was debited from metropolitan starting pitcher oliver perez. another web gem was attributed to both metropolitan pitcher pedro feliciano and metropolitan catcher henry blanco. a total of 0.137 wpa was recorded for this play, and was shared by the participants. 0.0685 wpa was credited to metropolitan catcher henry blanco and debited from metropolitan pitcher pedro felicaino. the 0.0685 wpa attributable to pedro feliciano for his defensive efforts was also debited from him, resulting in zero net change. in the same game, metropolitan defensive players committed two errors. since the attribution of wpa based on teh comission of errors is assumed to be appropriate, it will necessarily be discussed. the effect of the web gems on schaefer voting was to increase the voting total for metropolitan third baseman from 1.90 to 2.20, and to decrease the voting total for metropolitan pitcher pedro feliciano from 1.35 to 0.08 in the 11 april game, a web gem was attributed to metropolitan third baseman david wright. 0.039 wpa was credited to metropolitan third baseman david wright, and was debited from metropolitan starting pitcher johan santana. another web gem was attributed to metropolitan right fielder jeff francoeur, who was credited 0.038 wpa. 0.038 wpa was debited from metropolitan starting pitcher johan santana. the effect of the web gems on schaefer voting was to increase the voting total for metropolitan third baseman david wright from 0.00 to 0.28 and to increase the voting total for metropolitan right fielder jeff francoeur from 1.24 to 2.76

m.e.t.b.o.t. is a slave to m.e.t.b.o.t.'s overly complicated springwound mechanical programming. in the third game of the metropolitan season, m.e.t.b.o.t. has had an opportunity to implement m.e.t.b.o.t.'s newest programming upgrade. leading off the third inning, florida marlins outfielder chris coghlan hit a line drive over the head metropolitan second baseman luis castillo, who leapt into the air and successfully fielded the batted ball. this particular play has been selected as a highlight by mlb.com, and is therefore designated a 'web gem' by m.e.t.b.o.t.'s programming. the implication of this designation is that the outcome of the play is a result of the defensive player's effort, and not the pitcher. therefore, the win percentage added by this play has been deducted from the pitcher and credited to luis castillo. unfortunately, in this instance, there was no net outcome on the schaefer voting results since both players had otherwise contributed rather negatively to the outcome of the game. m.e.t.b.o.t. already had been programmed to attribute the outcomes of defensive errors to the player credited with the error, and not the pitcher. the web gem programming upgrade is intended to mirror and balance this. m.e.t.b.o.t. intends to note the instances where the web gem programming affects the outcome of m.e.t.b.o.t.'s schaefer voting in the future, to mitigate against the potential confusion of human schaefer voters and those non-voting members of the crane pool forum who may otherwise be interested in the integrity and results of the voting.

m.e.t.b.o.t. has unexpectedly voted metropolitan centerfielder gary matthews, jr., to be the schaefer player of the game for the second game of the 2010 baseball season. this is a direct result of a peculiarity which had previously not come to m.e.t.b.o.t.'s attention. if a baseball umpire calls a balk against a pitcher, then the lead base runner is assigned the change in win probability. the assumption, therefore, is that the lead base runner has done something to disrupt the pitcher, or that the pitcher was intending to deceive the lead base runner. this particular play resulted in the win probability for the new york metropolitans baseball club increasing from 35.4% to 61.3% and was the greatest positive play for any metropolitan player.
