BOX SCORES
From
the Headlines Page,
you can view the Box Score or Game Recap by clicking on the appropriate
button.
You can also view a Box Score or
Game Recap from the Calendar Screen.
A normal left-click on any completed game brings up the box score
for the game. A right-click displays the Game Recap. If
clicking on a day doesn't display the box score, then you can change
the settings for which games are saved using the Options Dialog.
READING THE BOX SCORE
The box score summarizes the performances
of individual players in a game. Unlike the game recap, which shows
the game events in the order they occurred, the box score shows
game totals for each player.
The Line Score
The first section of the Box Score
is the line score. This shows number of runs scored by each team
in each inning. To save space, the number of runs scored by any
team after the 9th inning are totaled in the column labeled '+'.
Any game that requires extra innings was tied after the first 9
innings. Therefore, the team that scores the most runs in extra
innings will also be the winner.
The columns labeled R, H and E show the Runs, Hits and Errors totals
for each team.
Batting Totals
The Box Score shows the batting totals
for the visiting team first, followed by their pitching totals.
Then batting and pitching stats are shown for the home team.
The batting list shows the team's lineup in order, with their position
for the game in parentheses. Any players that were substituted for
other players are shown indented, with the role they filled in parentheses.
'PH' indicates a Pinch Hitter and 'PR' indicates a Pinch Runner.
Each line shows the players offensive stats as follows:
ab: at bats
h: hits
bb: walks
r: runs scored
hr: home runs
bi: runs batted
k: strikeouts
sb: stolen bases
Pitching Totals
The pitcher list shows all players
who pitched in that game for that team, in the order they appeared.
Thus, the first pitcher shown is the starting pitcher.
Each line shows the following pitching stats:
ip: innings pitched
h: hits allowed
bb: walks allowed
hr: home runs allowed
r: runs allowed
er: earned runs allowed
k: strikeouts
pit: pitches thrown
Pitching Decisions
The last few lines of the box score
show the pitchers that received a decision or a save in the game.
'WP' indicates the winning pitcher while 'LP' shows the losing pitcher.
The parentheses show the pitcher's updated record for the year (through
the game shown).
If a save was awarded, the saving
pitcher is listed next to 'SV'. The number in parentheses indicates
how many saves the pitcher now has.
