BASEBALL! Explain Scoreboard.?

the first numbers are the runs scored, aka the score of the game

so for example

7 | 10 | 0

4 | 6 | 1

the score would be 7-4

the first team got 10 hits, second team got 6

the first team didnt commit any errors, second team committed 1

okay, when the telecast comes back from commercials, most like they're going to show a scoreboard with three numbers... each team has a column for R, H and E which is Runs (the one you really want to pay attention to because that's the score), Hits (the number of base hits each team has) and Errors, which is basically plays the other team should have made but did not ...

They might show nine columns, and then Runs, Hits and Errors ... that's just the innings, what team scored in what inning and how many runs ... if you look at those 9 (or more if there's extra innings) columns at any point during the game, the numbers each team has through those innings will equal the number of runs they have..

This part varies with each team, but usually when you're watching the telecast of the game, they'll have a scoreboard on top of the screen, too ... usually, there will be a diamond consisting of four smaller diamonds ... think of that like the actual field ... it tells you if there are runners on base.. for example, if the small diamond on the right is lit up, it'll mean there's a runner on first base ...

After that, you'll probably have each team name and the score ... of course, that's how many runs they have and that's as simple as it can get for you ... there will be an arrow pointing up or down and then a number next to it ... it will tell you what inning it is and if it's the top or bottom of that inning (the home team always hits in the bottom of the inning) ... other than that, you'll only have to worry about the count ... that is, how many balls and strikes there are to the current batter ... if it says 2-1, that's two balls and one strike ... if it's 0-2, that's no balls and two strikes ... when you say the count, balls always come first ...

now, with your newly discovered knowledge, you can impress people =) hope I helped

Well I'll start with the most basic, the positions and the diamond. The diamond had four positions on it, Home Plate is at one end. A runner needs to cross that to score a run (essentially a point/goal etc in other sports). He doesn't have to go all the way around the diamond, he can stop at different bases. First (90 feet to the right of home), Second Base (opposite side of home), Third (90 feet to the left of home). The dirt part is known as the infield and the grass beyond that is the outfield. There are 9 positions on a baseball team each with its own number (more on that later). They are: Pitcher (Throws the ball to the catcher who is behind home plate, also protects home from runners) Cather First Basemen (covers/protects first) Second Baseman (Covers the infield between first and second) Shortstop (Covers the infield between second and third) Third Baseman (covers/protects third) Left Field (covers the left part of the outfield) Center Field (Covers center) Right Field (Covers Right) The fielding positions are the defense, despite starting with the ball (opposite of nearly every sport). The Hitter stands at home plate and tries to reach base safely. He can do this several ways. Hit: he hits the ball and no fielder can catch it OR throw it to first and tag him or the base Walk: the pitcher throws four bad pitches (too high, too close, to far away, too low) Balk: this is an illegal move by the pitcher (trying to trick the hitter) Error: A fielder can make the play, but he messes up (drops the ball, bad throw, etc.) Strikeout advance: This is rare to see, in this case the hitter strikes out (3 misses) but on the third miss, the ball gets away from the catcher and the Hitter runs to first without getting tagged. The hitter can go as far as he wants, assuming he doesn't get touched. Single=makes one base Double=makes it to second Triple=makes it to third Home Run=the ball is hit out of the playing area (over the wall) Inside the park Home Run=The ball doesn't leave, but through great running he makes it all the way to home before getting tagged. That is basically the main play stuff. In order to fully get it, you should really go to a game with someone who knows the game. Scoreboard: The scoreboard is really easy to read it'll go something like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 R H E Team A 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 2 5 11 1 Team B 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 4 9 0 The game is 9 innings long (each inning is three outs--Caught ball/tagged runner is an out). So in my imaginary game, Team A is the road team (they are always on top) and they are playing at Team B. The numbers underneath the innings show how many runs they got that individual inning. The total is at the end of the scoreboard under R. The hits are shown under H and the number of errors (mistakes by the fielders) is also shown. In this game, Team A won 5-4, out hit the other team 11 to 9 but had one more error than the other team. Hits and Errors don't matter; only the run total. They are there to help people who really know the game get an idea of how it is playing. The 10th inning was played because it was tied after all 9 innings had been played. In baseball there are as many extra innings as needed. It is also not sudden death. Team A got to go first but since they scored twice, Team B got an opportunity to re-tie the game. I was going to address your other questions but Y! said my answer was too long. Hope that helped you. I suggest going to a game, even a minor league game since they are cheap. Baseball is a fun sport to watch, and ball parks are very laid back and enjoyable. There is the seventh inning stretch and all the history. The problem with baseball, is it is very hard to describe without visuals.

How To Read Baseball Scoreboard

Every net is different, but the general elements are as follows:

Visiting team abbreviation (e.g., BOS == Boston Red Sox, ATL == Atlanta Braves, etc.) and current runs scored.

Home team abbrev. and current runs scored.

A little arrow pointing up or down, indicating which half of the inning (visiting team bats in the top of the inning). There may be a T/B character instead.

The current inning.

Current out total.

Batter's ball-strike count, which tends to alternate with pitch speed (a stat which I find largely useless).

A little diamond diagram with bases highlighted if there is a runner there.

The network logo. Can be ignored continuously.

if it's a linescore it would look something like this

Red Sox | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 4 | 0 || 8 | 15 | 2

Yankees | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 0 || 4 | 10 | 2

the numbers before the double bar are the runs in each respective inning. the first number on the other side of the double line is the total runs for the team so far, then hits, then errors.

first on the bored you will see the scores and the team last is home.Then you wil see an inning number and a triangle if it is pointing up then it is the top of a inning and if is pointing down it is the bottom of a inning.then you will see two numbers.The first one is balls the second one is strikes.Then you will see the outs listing.

It will have the score by inning and then it says H R E.

H is the number of hits for each team

R is the number of runs for each team

E is the number of errors for each team

the runs scored are nest to the team name
