Talk:Box score (baseball)

message: If I offended the author this piece I apologize, but the article's tone was way too familiar. I de-personalized all of it and put some organization into the explanation. The explanations did not always match up to the order of the box score used. I would have chosen a regular season game since the oft-repeated explanations of "this series" are distracting and non-pertinent. but since it's the one chosen I went with the program (in all fairness, though, most notable games are post-season and the box score I used to often see as an example was Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series). --Buckboard 04:22, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm the author, and surprise surprise, I don't like the new version.  :)  That's okay, though.  I'd like to see fewer parenthetical expressions--the parenthetical text needs to be incorporated into the actual article.  What do you mean by "familiar"?  I'd like to see the Wikipedia principle or policy that wasn't followed with the original article.  I'll wait to make any more changes.  --Locarno 13:43, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Scorecard

message: I am not a big baseball fan, so that is the point of view I approach this article from. I feel that there is something missing from this page, particulary any discussion or explanation as to the significance of knowing the details of the game. As far as I know, the game is determined solely from the number of runs each team scores. Why is it important to list the hits and errors as well? For people keeping statistical track, wouldn't they want a breakdown of the players' records for the game? 21:33, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Merger from sports data

message: I added the abbreviation BS for "blown save" after spending quite a while trying to track down the meaning of that abbreviation as found in the box score of the game between the Detroit Tigers and the Oakland Athletics on 10/7/2012. The abbreviation appears in the box score for that game as shown at http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2012_10_07_oakmlb_detmlb_1&mode=box&c_id=det#gid=2012_10_07_oakmlb_detmlb_1&mode=box on the MLB.com website. I found it interpreted in the Wikipedia article on sports abbreviations. The play-by-play of the game makes it clear that the abbreviation does mean "blown save." I don't have the slightest idea how to provide a citation for that, but since there's very little citation in this article, perhaps it doesn't matter.
