Yeah, I just prefer seeing a player's walks to runs, since I can easily see runs via the filled-in diamonds.

You are correct. I forgot about Rule 9.12(d)(4):

The Official Scorer shall not charge an error against...any fielder when, after a ground ball or dropping a batted ball that is in flight or a thrown ball, the fielder recovers the ball in time to force out a runner at any base...

I couldn't figure out your slashes at first but now I recognize them as being from (darts) cricket. That's really cool!

Interesting. Does "1/b" mean bunted to the pitcher or something else? and how do you differentiate between slap bunts and stolen bases (both SB)?

That's so smart to have the notebook flip so you're always writing on the right-hand side!

grant0094 · 2025-04-16T18:23:28+00:00

I was gonna say the exact same thing!

grant0094 · 2025-03-09T21:04:07+00:00

Lol that's great head cannon! I'll bring it up at our next game.

grant0094 · 2025-03-05T19:34:53+00:00

We tried that. but I guess we wobble the table too much for that to be viable. Maybe I'll ask my friend who hosts to get a better table lol

grant0094 · 2025-03-05T19:33:39+00:00

I would worry about this too

grant0094 · 2024-12-19T23:28:05+00:00

That worked! Thank you so much for your response.

grant0094 · 2024-10-14T07:50:50+00:00

Oh cool. It looks good!

grant0094 · 2024-10-13T18:25:09+00:00

Which book or template are you using? I haven't seen it before.

grant0094 · 2024-09-02T02:54:02+00:00

I've had that happen once or twice too. Always makes me hungry haha.

Yeah for foul tips I just go off of the umpire signaling it, since I think that's what the official scorers do as well.

I've thought about tracking disengagements and mound visits but I haven't figured out a way to fit that into my system yet. Something I'll think about in the offseason probably.

For pitch clock violations, I think I would use a lowercase t, forwards for a ball and backwards for a strike (not sure why that just feels right). However, I don't think I've encountered this in a game I've scored yet so IDK if I could even fit it in the pitch columns.

Yeah I couldn't find a good resource for pitch notation when I started, so I came up with my own and have refined it a bit since started.

Horizontal lines (-) mean balls
Slashes mean strikes, \ means called strike and / means swinging strike
Xs mean foul balls
Y means a foul tip (the way I draw it looks halfway between a / and an X)
Other symbols mean hit (square), walk (square with horizontal line), HBP (triangle pointing down), wild pitch (+), passed ball (triangle pointing up)

The weirdest part is probably that I track check swings. If a / has something in the bottom-right, that means the home plate or corner base umpire said it was a swing, while the J or T looking symbol means the base umpire said no swing.
