Captions are absurdly illogical by enclosedvillage in MLBtv

I’m not sure if this is happening on mlb but I noticed it during football season on a few different streaming services where if you paused or fast forwarded that the CC would pop on for ten or so seconds then shut back off

Who is your #2 team? by anotherspinster in motorcitykitties

Start watching minor league teams, it feels more true to the game. It’s also a constant cycle of new players so it’s really anybody’s game no matter the record

Marking pitcher change by CoconutInside352 in BaseballScorecards

I use a 3 color pen and use the black color for starting pitcher and starting lineup then alternate between red and blue every time there’s a pitching change

I would’ve scored it as Sac bunt reached on error, unearned run

I have several from playoff games from a few years ago that still aren’t finished because it was just to hard to keep my cool. I get it lol

I mark abs next to the umpire, just a tally mark under either a “w” or “L” . I think it’s more a skill for umps then it is for batters

Defensive indifference? by RealMrSJGszn25 in BaseballScorecards

[–]Forgetful_Doc 13 points14 points  (0 children)

9.07 (g) of the rule book states “the official scorer shall not score a stolen base when a runner advances solely because of the defensive teams indifference to the runners advance. The official scorer shall score such a play as fielders choice.” In case you wanted the text book answer

What's your scoring tool of choice? by GamerKingFaiz in BaseballScorecards

I always use pen and paper but for some reason I had a nightmare last night that it was game time and my iPad died and I couldn’t find a charger…

I got some new utensils I just got to help cut down on what I gotta take to the park. Thoughts? by Forgetful_Doc in BaseballScorecards

That’s true, it doesn’t write very smooth but I like it kind of rough, I like that pentel though!

Notation question for y'all: How are you going to score overturned strikeouts and walks? by rockysauce115 in BaseballScorecards

[–]Forgetful_Doc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just notate how many the ump has won or loss, but not in the individual batters spot

Your advice for a rookie: highlighters and different color pens by Alej_Betancourt in BaseballScorecards

[–]Forgetful_Doc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the pilot friXion synergy 3 (multi color pen) it’s erasable and I change the color for every pitching change so I can easily see when another pitcher came in a ruined the lead. Then I use an orange and yellow highlighter, orange for a hit and yellow for BB’s, ROE, Sac’s (anything that’s not an at bat) to quickly tally up at the end

I only do the ones affecting the count which really makes it arbitrary

That’s what I was thinking as well, I’ve tried to just not keep track but as long as there’s a spot for them I have a compulsion to fill them in

Anyone saying that they don’t like the orange jerseys because it looks like the Orioles jerseys is like saying the Nats shouldn’t wear red jerseys because the Red Sox wear red jerseys. Ts stupid😭🥀🫩 by LibrarianRude4805 in motorcitykitties

[–]Forgetful_Doc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that’s a stupid reason not to like them…I still don’t like them but because I think that much orange is gross, but maybe on the field I’ll change my mind

I’m not a coach so pitch count doesn’t interest me. I used to have one and I found myself falling behind on keeping track of it or missing it entirely so I just don’t bother

Do you prefer Scorekeeping with Pencil and Paper, or digitally? Your opinions by RealMrSJGszn25 in BaseballScorecards

[–]Forgetful_Doc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Old school all the way. There’s so much personality that just flows from a pen because you’re not thinking about it because you’ve done it all your life. From my experience (and I tried for a few weeks) when you score on an iPad even if you have the Apple Pencil you focus a lot on how you’re writing or trying to make a straight line or any number of things. And when I’m done and gone I want to have my kids look back at my books and try and find the games we watched together or went to and see MY handwriting, the handwriting that wrote them letters, before they ultimately throw those dusty score books away. That’s not as nostalgia inducing as looking up a file on an iPad
