After we finished recording, I said my goodbyes and took the time to tell Sam how pleased I was to get to record with him, as I became a fan through The Only Rule and his time on the pod, and he responded by thanking me for 'putting my thumb on the scale' for the win.
He thought he was joking.

You can actually hear me say on the pod how Carlos Martinez took a huge hit in the recalculations by dropping him over 6 WARP.
He actually went *UP* almost 7 WARP. A gigantic swing.

It turns out that in the process of recording all the stats and having dozens of tabs of BP open, I had made the inexplicable error of using Kendall Graveman's stats for Carlos Martinez.
Instead of earning 4.4 WARP over the past decade, he'd actually earned 18.

I immediately suspected that I had somehow picked the wrong Carlos Martinez, but that was not the case. I had the correct BP page.
Then I looked at his stats, and they were FAR better than what I had in the sheet. Something had gone horribly wrong.

Yesterday, after the recording, I added the 'new' results to the Competitions sheet. And before I went to bed, Raymond Chen let me know that he had spotted an error.
Carlos Martinez was being given WARP in a year he hadn't pitched in.
