Scorecard questions
I was wondering if anyone could give me a chart of what all the abbreviations mean? I understand the basics but things like ab 3 and ab 5 have me lost, a list of what all those things mean would be very helpful. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Re: Scorecard questions
Here is a list of most of the abbreviations we use. Some of these we actually display slightly different in the scorecard than in stats... for example, strikeout looking is a backward K on the scorecard.
You specific example, AB3 or AB5 means runner was advanced by batter #3 or advanced by batter #5.
// Ways to get on base
BATTER_SINGLE = "1B"
BATTER_DOUBLE = "2B"
BATTER_TRIPLE = "3B"
BATTER_HOMERUN = "HR"
BATTER_WALK = "BB"
BATTER_WALK_INTENTIONAL = "IBB"
BATTER_HIT_BY_PITCH = "HBP"
BATTER_FIELDERS_CHOICE = "FC"
BATTER_ERROR = "E"
BATTER_WP_3RD_STRIKE = "WP"
BATTER_PB_3RD_STRIKE = "PB"
BATTER_CATCHER_INTERFERENCE = "CI"
BATTER_GROUND_RULE_DOUBLE = "GRD"
// Ways batter can make an out
BATTER_STRIKEOUT_LOOKING = "Kc"
BATTER_STRIKEOUT_SWINGING = "Ks"

BATTER_OUT_FAN_INTERFERENCE = "FanInt"
// Ways runner can make an out
RUNNER_PICKED_OFF = "PO"
RUNNER_FORCE_OR_TAG_OUT = "RFOTO"
RUNNER_CAUGHT_STEALING = "CS"
RUNNER_RUNDOWN = "RD"

RUNNER_STOLEN_BASE = "SB"
RUNNER_WILD_PITCH = "WP"

Re: Scorecard questions
Curious,
How would you score Batter SAFE on D3 because either 2 overthrew 3 (E2) or if E3.
Will the D3 still show and the pitcher get a "K" or will the E2 or E3 replace the D3?

Re: Scorecard questions
You should still record the play as either "Dropped 3rd Strike" (error on catcher) or "Wild Pitch 3rd Strike" (error on pitcher). If you would like to add an additional error to the play, you can do that when it asks what happened to the runner on first, or by clicking the Misc button and using "Assign Error".
The overthrown ball or ball dropped by first baseman does not negate the dropped third strike. The batter still made it to first because of the dropped third strike.

Re: Scorecard questions
Just to clarify, a batter reaching base because of a dropped 3rd strike does not result in an error. It is either a wild pitch or passed ball, but no error is charged. Rule 10.14 (f)(1)(i+ii)
Thanks, Eric

Re: Scorecard questions
That is correct... while technically they are errors on the pitcher or catcher, they do not count in statistics as errors --- they have their own categories.

Re: Scorecard questions
However,
If it is a passed ball or WP, yet the catcher gets the ball in time for the 2-3 putout and the batter is now safe as the result of an overthrown ball or a dropped throw by 1B, should you not score an E2 or E3 respectively?

Re: Scorecard questions
FTM ... had not seen you publish a llist of the possible abbreviations before, as it appears to be cut and paste from source code definition... perhaps that could be added to the info page in a future release. or posted off the web portal in development. just for reference.
