Was my primary source for years, regarding wind etc.
Totally out to lunch this year; there does seem to be a pattern, though, as they have their wind directions almost precisely backwards for every game this year, in case that's the only thing you have available :facepalm:.

I stopped a couple of months ago--no choice.
Somebody new must be operating who doesn't understand what, say, 'west wind' means.
In case they see this, from wikipedia: "A west wind is a wind that blows from the west, in an eastward direction." Again, for example.

The rotowire, rotogrinders and donbest info has been accurate.
Not sure what they're (not) smoking there, but they should start.

Anybody else notice this or have I got a Twilight Zone virus?

I have noticed that on a couple of games this year. But almost always when I compare it with baseball analyzer, it is very close to the same. I don?t compare very often, but I have. Today, the one I checked were close to the same.:shrug:

I?ve been pointing this out for a few seasons now! Backwards wind directions, can only help you if you know the actual direction and all the other joes betting totals one way based on erroneous weather info. A lot of people use it as a resource.
