Can the Detroit Tigers make it all the way this year?
I used to when I was a kid. I would keep track in one of my dad's old score books. It helped me learn about the game and learn how to take a book.I used to do it when i was a boy in 1970-71-72 in the kitchen while listening to the radio. Dad would be reading the paper and Mom would be doing the ironing. We were just talking about that a few days ago and Dad remembered it well.
If a pitched ball hits the ground, then hits the batter what's the ruling?
I doit's a fun thing to do and it increases your baseball knowledge.
If a ball is hit and the fielder bobbles it, and then overthrows the first baseman, is it 2 errors?
i do!!!!!However you decide to. No two people keep score in the same manner, although all use the same basics.
I've kept score for almost 2 decades now, although it took be afew years to start keeping my scoresheets.
Did anyone hear Curt Schilling's sour grapes after Clemens joined the Yankees?
The way you keep score, i.e., the way you decide to scratch it down on your scorecard is entirely up to you. BUT, the numbers assigned to a defensive position are written in stone.1=Pitcher
2=Catcher
3=1st Baseman
4=2nd Baseman
5=3rd Baseman
6=Shortstop
7=Left Fielder
8=Center Fielder
9=Right Fielder
Also, you score it regardless of where the player is physically standing. Like on the shifts played on David Ortiz where the 2nd baseman is in shallow right field, the SS is in the normal spot of the 2nd baseman, and the 3rd baseman is in the spot of the SS, if the ball is grounded to the SS and he throws it to the 1st baseman for the force out you'd score it 6-3 as if he had been standing in his usual spot.
I found that after I learned to score a game I understood so much more about baseball than I did before. If you really want to learn, watch a game on TV and have the MLB Gamecast (or what ever they call it) on your computer at the same time so you can score on your sheet what you see on TV, then when the Gamecast refreshes, you can see if you were correct.
