Could someone explain to me the numbers and letters with baseball?
Question:i know k is strike out. and hr is homerun. Im just confused on the F9 E3 and stuff like that.
Answers:
1 = Pitcher
2 = Catcher
3 = 1st Baseman
4 = 2nd Baseman
5 = 3rd Baseman
6 = Shortstop
7 = Left Fielder
8 = Center Fielder
9 = Right Fielder
On a scorecard, F stands for Flyout. E stands for Error.
When scoring, if there is a Flyout, then the individual keeping score will note the Flyout with an F, then after they will place the number of the position player who caught the ball and made the putout.
In the case of an F9, the Right Fielder caught a Flyball.
The same idea applies to the Error. In the case of an E3, the 1st Baseman has committed an error.
F9 = Flyout; caught by Right Fielder
E3 = Error on 1st Baseman
Some more examples:
F6 = Flyout to Shortstop
E8 = Error on Center Fielder
L5 = Lineout to 3rd Baseman
FO7 = Foul Out to Left Fielder
U3 = Unassisted Put Out by 1st Baseman
5-3 = Force Out or Tagged; 3rd Baseman to 1st Baseman
DP 6-4-3 = Double Play; Shortstop to 2nd Baseman to 1st Baseman

Why did the Boston Red Sox wear green jerseys tonight?
Each position is assigned a number. Goes like this: pitcher 1, catcher 2, first baseman 3, second baseman 4, third baseman 5, shortstop 6, left fielder 7, center fielder 8, right fielder 9. These numbers are used when scoring a baseball game. F=fly out, E=error. So in your example F9 would indicate a fly out to the right fielder. E3 would indicate an error by the first baseman. If a ground ball is fielded by the third baseman and thrown to first for the out, that would be indicated by 5-3. A double play ball hit to the shortstop, thrown to the second baseman for one out and then thrown to the first baseman for the second out would be indicated by 6-4-3. Those are some basics in scoring a baseball game. It's really pretty simple to do, and really makes watching the game a little more entertaining. I would suggest Googling instructions on scoring a baseball game for the full instructions. Have fun.Can you compare Ty cobb to Barry Bonds?...I say no?

Who will get more saves for the Rangers, Eric Gagne or Akinori Otsuka?
It's pretty simple really.Each player in the field has an assigned # 1-9 pitcher is #1 cather#2 and so on.F. simply means fly.so f-9 is flyout to right field.now for ground outs its listed like 6-3 meaning grounded out short to first.E. is for error.So E-5 is error on the thrid baseman.There are hundreds of different scoring notations and even giving basics would take quite awhile.You might look up scoring baseball on wiki or another site.Hope I helped a little.Good-luck.It's early in the season, but who is favored to get to and win the World Series?
Every position on the field has a number and every type of play has a letter. You can combine these alphanumeric codes to keep a record of what's happening during any game. It's also called keeping score or keeping a scorecard or score book.MLB has a link that explains the basics of score keeping, as some other links with additional relatively basic information. I'm giving you the links.
