Rookie question: How do you interpret the Play by Play tab when reviewing a game? Below is a sample and a few questions:
1 R.Smalley 1 Line Out b-0 F9
2 A.Bumbry 5 Double b-2 F9
2 2 B.Darwin 4 Double 2-H b-2 F9
In the above:
a. What do the numbers IN FRONT of each above at bat result mean? For example 1 Line Out for Smalley? What does the "1" mean? What are they an indication of?
b. Does the F9 mean anything? This seems to be after every play so I am assuming it has no meaning.
c. I understand the numbers before the batter to be in order: the number of outs, the base (1,2,3) that has a runner on it at the start of the at bat. So Darwin comes to bat with 2 outs and a batter on 2nd (e.g. 2 2). Is this correct?
If there is any interpretation FAQ someone can point to, much appreciated. Thanks!
