How do I read play by play
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2015 3:26 pmHello , When I review the game results how do I read the play by play columns?
For non-mystery games, from left to right...I copied a line from one of my games to help illustrate.
2 123 A.Simmons 1-7 Single (CF) 3-H 2-H 1-3 b-2 F9
1) # of outs at the start of AB,
2) where the baserunners are at the start of the AB
3) Batter
4) Dice Roll, first number is the column (1-3) = hitter card, (4-6) = pitchers card. Second number is the line in that column.
5) Outcome of dice roll
6) Runner movement, 3-H means guy on third scored, 2-H guy on second scored, 1-3 guy on first to 3rd and b-2 batter to second. In this case it means the batter advanced to 2nd on the throw as he had a single.
7) Pitcher Fatigue level
What you don't see in the example above is if there was any X outs or Ballpark HR's or Singles to be determined. That will be listed inbetween number 6 and 7.
Any lines highlighted in green = run scored.
Also Wild pitches, passed balls and stolen bases don't show the rolls.
