I actually think it's a good idea for the sport and don't mind it. There are plenty of baseball fans who don't know how to keep score so imo it's a good way to 1) teach them something they might not realize they want to know and 2) teach them something that will deepen their interest in watching baseball games and can teach their kids/friends/family etc.

Brantley was born to hit a baseball. Goddamn what a sweet swing.

 

[Scraps 13546]

They still won't do it. I go to hundreds of games and may see 1 person per game doing it.

People would rather fuck around on their phones all game than figure out how to keep score

[Scraps 13546]

So just throw 6 inches off the plate and get strikes called all day

I think it's more common to see at minor league games, I've seen quite a few fans at Express games keeping score. I do it when I go to a game alone just to keep myself entertained while drinking.

Straw should never lead off again

[WBT 20431]

.263 obp isn't doing it for you?

[UTexasFight 9386]

For some reason they aren’t showing scraps’ tweets about his feelings on the scoring broadcast

[Scraps 13546]

This ump seems swell

Yeah i mean Straw hit a bouncer that was borderline fair and no one cares to replay it cause we are looking at Kalas scorecard from 3 years ago

[Scraps 13546]

How the fuck was that first pitch to Rojas not a strike but every pitch to yordan and yuli there was a strike

[Scraps 13546]

And again

[Scraps 13546]

Now gets them against bemboom lmao

[Scraps 13546]

Nice start for one

[WBT 20431]

Look at that prototypical leadoff man working the walk

[WBT 20431]

Damnit

[Scraps 13546]

Yuli is a beast

[WBT 20431]

[Gourmand 7774]

YULLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[elfenix 34189]

[Jshep34 2304]

My wife and I have scored the game whenever we’ve gone for 30 years. She taught me to do it.  It was a way that she enjoyed game and stayed engaged.

[Honeysucklerose 960]

I legit can’t stand this aggy

[WBT 20431]

Correa for Robel if we can get there right?

[WBT 20431]

Attaboy Ted.  Tying run to the plate

[WBT 20431]

Damnit.  First 100+ years of this sport that's a hit up the middle and we're in business.

[TonyTexas 10482]

Don’t you love Dusty pinch hitting with our hard hitting utility infielder who is hitting . .083 with an OPS of .237 ?

[dr99 551]

Dusty is like the manager that the owner brings in to purposely tank the team in all the sports movies.

[Scraps 13546]

Free stuff....quite possibly junk

It takes talent to have a sub .500 record with the 4th best run differential in the league...

[Chuckie Finster 22602]

Just chiming in to say that the national narrative of Tatis stealing signs compared to the Astros is predictable and exhausting.

[UTexasFight 9386]

Full team get the 2nd dose today or are they staggering it?

if Team Moderna, Marco Gonzales gonna have a no-hitter tomorrow

Is there a bigger bunch of whiny ass pusses than Dodgers fans and organization?? They are perpetually aggrieved and crybitching nonstop. They're equally guilty of breaking the unwritten rules, if not just outright cheating, and this is all just projection.

New leadoff hitter....must be some bum we called up

Maybe this dude can get something started. 
 

is the death star fully operational now?  Asking for a friend.

So if we knew Altuve was back today, maybe play Correa yesterday and wait until tonight to give him a day off?  Nah.
