Oh wow! Had no idea it would create a new topic . . .

 

Well, as Chuck mentioned I'm going to be creating these for every game this season — at least that's the plan. A bit more useful than a standard box score since you can see the game literally unravel before your eyes.

 

I welcome suggestions and comments. This is a very organic project and will likely evolve during the season. And I totally understand if everyone wants to wait to relive a more enjoyable game. Last night was ugly . . .

 

Also, I will try to post some historic games using play by play data from Baseball Reference. If you have any specific games in mind, kindly let me know.

 

Thanks!

Perhaps one of the mods can merge this with the other thread?

After scoring two early runs with Mike Trout’s first at bat of the season — a two run homer off Seattle’s ace Felix Hernandez — the Angels ultimately faltered, losing their lead in the sixth. The Mariners would later plate six consecutive batters with two outs in the ninth, handing the Angels and their fans a bitter opening day defeat.

Wow. Despite the outcome last night, this scorecard is AWESOME Lou.

Thank for very much for coming on board and committing to doing these for all 162 games this season.

Hopefully you'll have some to do in October as well.

I started scoring games as a 10-yr old in Philadelphia in 1964, listening to my beloved Phillies on the radio. Made my own scorecards and everything.

 

My Mom thought I was weird, but my Dad was also a fan and took me to several games that year at the old Connie Mack Stadium.

This is really cool!  I've always wanted to score games but wasn't sure I could keep up.  This helps out a lot, I will look forward to this segment on AW!

I score every game I attend. It's really not that hard to keep up if you keep it simple. My method is a hybrid of several styles I've encountered over 30 years. My mom taught me her method, then I lifted some of the bits from more complex methods.

 

What I love is it keeps engaged and I can see how the game develops — how runners move around the bases, momentum within an inning, etc.
