Splitting the Days
There are two new additions to the Day by Day Database. The new programs allow you to compare batters on a split, or compare pitchers on a split. (The data for pitchers is actually opposition batting.)
Here are some examples:
Best OBA, #1 Hitters, 2000-2005.
Best OBA against #1 Hitters, 2000-2005
Most Homeruns by a Shortstop, 2000-2005
Most Homeruns by a Shortstop, 2004-2005
Highest Batting Average Allowed to Left-Handed Batters, 2000-2005
Most strikeouts with the bases loaded, 2000-2005
I hope you'll have some fun with this! You can drill down to very specific dates to compare players on a day, over a week, a month, or multiple seasons. Please let me know if you find any bugs or errors.
Update: Fixed a bug in the GDP sort. Thanks for pointing this out in the comments!

Statistics
Whoa. Now that is seriously cool. I can use this to shut people up.
Since 2000, Alex Rodriguez has hit 85 HR in tied games--more than any other player in baseball.
And people say he isn't clutch.
Highly appreciated, as always, although I am having problems sorting pitchers by GIDP.
I'm having problems with GIDP in general. Nothing shows up no matter what number I enter into the minimum
Excellent David. Your plan to force me into having no life outside of researching baseball statistics is nearing completion.
Most games are tied in the first inning...
True. And I bet if you score first, you have a much better chance of winning the game.
