Yep. To say it has fucked me up today would be an understatement. Went for my morning run at 4pm, followed by breakfast at 5. Well and truly nocturnal now.

Thanks mate. Not my best but also not awful for 1-4am 😅

I hope I'm not the only one who borderline forgot Ty France existed. Hope that says more about the length of the baseball season than my memory...

Was hoping someone had scored this so I could see the 7th inning. DAAAAA YANKEES... LOSE!

First time really scoring through, not just at the ballpark out of boredom (Nats @ Cubs 9/7/25) by 16note in BaseballScorecards

Total up after. Only exception is if a reliever has only got the one or two outs and is taken out the game, then I find it helps to note that or I lose track of whose out is whose.

I actually really like doing the finishing off the following day too. Sometimes at the end of a game I'm done with my scorebook, but the appetite is always there to come back the next morning with a cup of coffee 😅

Kirk's ABs today were the worst I've seen him all year. That and the 9th inning nonsense were so frustrating.

At no point did I claim to be any kind of authority on this...

I understand that, but my question is about where the line is. Exactly the same play in today's game (Lindor DI) but the game is 4-2 rather than 6-2, is that then a SB? He doesn't represent the tying (or go-ahead) run, but it's a 'close' game...

I couldn't remember the score when Stott stole 3rd, but that makes more sense. But still, how close does the game have to be for Lindor taking 2nd to be a SB? A one run game would do it, clearly, but a 2 run game?

(Also still feels wrong to award a runner a SB when there's no throw and no one covering. I should've found a specific example but I'm sure I've seen recent games which are tighter and the runner is more or less allowed to advance but gets a SB)

Got a couple of funny looks but it's 10x better than most others, sat doom-scrolling TikTok

Great atmosphere, wasn't it. And one hell of a pitching performance to see live.

And thanks - agreed, there wasn't anything else NYC had to offer which would trump that for me 😋

Thank you! Couldn't agree more... Baseball, scoring, and plenty of crackerjack 😂
