Welcome to the new High Heat Stats

Meet the new High Heat Stats…Just the same as the old High Heat Stats…with a few additions and changes:

  • We’ve moved to our new permanent home at HighHeatStats.com. You shouldn’t have any trouble reaching this site from any location (such as places that don’t allow access to blogspot domains.) The content on the old High Heat Stats will remain there, but all new posts will be presented here only.
  • We’ve added some tabbed pages across the top. This is where you can go to post a suggestion, look up the meaning of a stat, check out our Twitter feed, or a number of other things.
  • The comment system is now open and quite similar to how it worked on the Baseball-Reference.com blog. You just put in your email address, choose a screen name, and go. No need to log in anymore. You can also choose to subscribe to comments by email on any post.
  • We’ve widened the main post area so we can make tables wider and share more data.

Other than these changes, most everything else is the same. Most importantly, we’ll continue to be bringing you the same quality of content.

This is a test to see what replies look like. Normally, I wouldn’t feel the need to reply to my own posts.

Eve 6 released their first new single in 9 years, and HHS moved to its own site. Better day ever or best day ever?

My only complaint is now I need to figure out how to get my Don Mossi avatar for the new site.

But congratulations nonetheless…

Should I have stayed with Entaowed, or just post as my name? Either way, great new changes & congratulations!

“Hello? Am I on?” That would be the universal opening remark if this were a call-in radio show. New site-quite spiffy.

Nice digs. I think even Twisto would approve. (-;þ

You’ve obviously done a ton of work on this, Andy. The site looks terrific. My sincere congratulations.

Why, am I well known for my pickiness over site design?

That Disqus shite was rather annoying, however.

Let me see if I can find your exact quote about the old site, JT. Ah yes, here it is.

“The colors are so played. And the template…oh lord, your feng shui is all fouled up. I don’t know if I can be seen in such an establishment.”

Don’t back away from it — I’m sure several of us wish we’d been clever enough to say something similar.

Here’s one thing we can both be picky about: Death to Disqus!

Haha, I had forgotten about that.

Rumors that said posting was tongue-in-cheek are unconfirmed as of press time.

Rumors that said posting was not tongue-in-cheek are unimaginable, given what we know of said poster’s style.

I don’t even know what I’m competing in!

Andy, would you be upset if I confined all my posting to this thread?

(btw, I am replying to my own post because there is no “reply” button on yours — I guess because we are getting too close to the wall? —->>

Looks really sharp, Andy. Well done.

One thing that could be nice to have is the next and previous post links at the bottom of each post. Had that at B-Ref and Blogspot – I found it to be a useful navigation aid.

Andy,
Congratulations, and I hope to re-join my old baseball friends in discussing the assorted flotsam and jetsam of baseball history.

First comment in over three months – WHOOPIE!!

I heard the Red Sox made a couple trades/signings; are we back on the shortstop merry-go-round of 2005-2009 again?

Right on! I am also excited to claim my old (albeit vastly underused) name rather than the (also fairly unused) ‘switchitter’ I was forced to take by disqus. Thanks so much, Andy, looks excellent.

Andy,

It was a dream, you made it happen!

I also love, love, love the “Recent Comments” section in the upper-right corner. It saves me the trouble of constantly clicking on individual articles to see the latest comments.

Pitchers and catchers will report before you know it…

Please stop keeping score, Andy. I’m really not trying to one-up Johnny T. I’d like him to post here sometimes!

How did people get their picture to follow? Is there a way to get email notification if someone replies to one of my posts only?

Reply to  Andy

I don’t see any option to only get emails for responses to my comments, just followup comments, which may be what I am looking for but sounds more like every comment made after mine. A few other things, I like the mobile stuff, that is my primary way of reading posts. 2 things however, whenever there is a wide table, I can never scroll left and right to see it, I do have a blackberry torch which is probably the Geo Metro of smartphones so maybe that is my fault. Also, the comments aren’t numbered in the mobile version. Finally,… Read more »
