What am I missing in this boxscore?

[chess2899]

I was down by a run in the 9th, but hit 3 consecutive singles. Raines apparently scored according to the little numbers at the bottom.

I didn't get credit for a run which would have tied the game and I think the inning should have continued.


Anyone have an explanation for this scenario?

Raines didn't score. The 2-o means the man on 2nd (Raines) made an out. Because the rest of it reads 1-3 b-2, it looks like McGwire singled and they all tried to advance an additional base. Raines was thrown out at home while Puckett made it to 3rd and McGwire went to 2nd.

Thanks! Just hard to believe that Raines couldn't score on a single. I guess I needed someone with AAA speed instead of AA.

I'll cut Raines before the end of the day. I traded Guerrero for him and then Pedro got injured and it was his worst year. Raines is batting .220 after 150 games and even though he doesn't have a bad year, I can't use someone who can't score on a single. :lol:

Djtrickster's wrong. Raines actually crossed the plate before the throw to tie the game. Grich then crushed Howe's next pitch into left-center for the game winning run. HAL didn't record any of this because he hates you and wants you to lose. It happens to my teams constantly. :D

I realize that. That is why I changed my team name to Panzer Ace. HAL apparently loves Panzer Ace because he gives him a playoff berth 95% of the time! :D :D

Tom, anything else would be a good alternative for your teams. When I see you in a league, I feel sorry for you knowing that HAL will make you lose even when your team has a .600 slugging %. Keep it up and you'll be seated next to PillPop at the 2009 Last Place Awards Dinner. :wink:
