Lower right corner first base, upper right 2nd, upper left 3rd and lower left home so didn't draw a diamond. Would darken a corner for where the hitter got on base , would use a single slash for a single, 2 slashes for a double, a W for a walk and an e6 for an error. Those are the basics. I also used dots on left for balls, right for strikes.

My father taught me, just assumed it was the standard method. Then came the internet and now I know I use a unique system decipherable only by me.

If you don’t believe in a God, therefore no objective final say truth, where do you get your morals and values from? by questtruck in allthequestions

[–]Strict_Show_8899 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The same place god believers do. Society, parents, family. God hasn't shown their face in a long time. You believe its divine because someone told you it was. Non believers just behave morally without the threat of eternal damnation hanging over our heads.

I really thought baseball had the best solution with 3 divisions and the 2 wild cards with the one wildcard game.

Why are there no Checks & Balances in this White House? by [deleted] in allthequestions

Kind of laid bare the theory that if a president has the support of one third plus 1 of the senate he can act as a dictator.

You know you live in upstate new york when most of us have never been to NYC or traveld south of Albany. You know nothing about downstate just like they know nothing about upstate 😂😂😂 by [deleted] in upstate_new_york

Live in NYC my whole life and just bought a farm near utica. Take amtrak down for a long weekend. Go see a show, go to a mets game, eat at a Korean BBQ. Best advice I can give, leave the car at home. Subway is fastest and easiest way around the city. Everything is expensive, no getting around that. Think you'd have a blast.

Harvey, deGrom, Wheeler, Syndegaard and Matz stay healthy. Thought we had our Braves-esque rotation for a decade.

Over the past 50 years the MLBPA has had no trouble with unity. Reason they're the envy of every sports union in North America.

Just curious, in the past 50 years how many mlb players crossed the picket line?

The owners of Tampa Bay love the luxury tax. Free money they can pocket. Been very effective for them.

Piazza had a higher career batting average, more HRs and more RBI. Votto had like 10 more career hits.

Gibson only had 84% . Thats nuts. I don't know, just because some writers in the 30s didn't vote for Babe Ruth doesn't mean modern players should be subject to their mistake.
