BOX SCORESFrom 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 SCOREThe 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 ScoreThe 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. Batting TotalsThe 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. ab: at bats Pitching TotalsThe 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. ip: innings pitched Pitching DecisionsThe 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. |
