New Pitch Clock & Game Delay. How to enter "No Pitch Ball" or "No Pitch Strike" (answered, Implemented)
Posted: Thu Apr 20, 2017 7:16 pm
NCAA currently uses a 20 second clock where if the pitcher doesn't throw the ball within that time, it is a ball. If the batter causes the delay, then it is a strike. Now, I haven't seen it called even one time over the past three years, but it is bound to happen someday. Also, I understand that MLB is currently considering implementing such a rule. Without anything official to go on, I assume that neither the strike nor the ball would be included in the pitcher's stats, so how do you get the ball or strike on the batter's stats for the game.
I suggest that you add a swiping motion to both the strike and ball buttons to handle the action when this happens. When you swipe the strike button, there is already a sub-menu. A swipe on the ball button treats the pitch as an intentional ball - this could be changed to add a sub-menu of choices.
And that brings up another question of mine - what is an intentional ball? Is it when you intend to intentionally walk the batter, or does it also include a pitchout to the catcher in anticipation of a runner stealing the next base. Maybe if they are two separate things, you could add "Pitchout" to the balls sub-menu.
Finally, as an android user, I sometimes feel like the famous red headed stepchild. If you add this change, it would be nice if you could do it on the android platform before the apple system.
Still enjoy using the app - think it is great. Keep up the good work.
