Your Tips & Ideas |
StrikeoutsA pitching outcome strikeout means the batter was "called out on strikes." A batting outcome strikeout means the batter "went down swinging." |
Lineup Stack Place your baseball cards in a pile with the lead-off hitter on top. Move each card to the bottom after each at-bat. |
|
Base on Balls (walks) A batting outcome walk (BB) means that the batter has a "good eye" and took a close pitch to "draw the walk." |
Tracking Baserunners You can move and turn the baseball cards in your lineup stack to track baserunners as they move around the bases. |
|
Infield Single A base hit from the stolen base column (SB) means the batter beat out an infield single.  |
Extra Bases Batters with many RBIs and runners with lots of runs have a better chance of creating extra bases. |
|
Sacrifice Hits High batting values that result in outs can still advance baserunners. The Out+ outcome means the batter gets a sacrifice hit if any runners advance. |
Relief Pitchers In certain situations, relief pitchers are given the opportunity to roll a second time. This helps reflect the short-term effectiveness of pitchers in relief. |
|
Calling the Pitch A batting outcome from a Free Swing means that the batter "guessed the right pitch" or "got his pitch." It doesn't guarantee a hit though! |
Good/Bad Pitching Statistics Not all pitching statistics are good. The formulas reward pitchers with fewer losses, earned runs, and ERAs. |
|
Cards with Different Stats Some baseball cards may not have the same statistical columns as the charts. Choose stat columns for each card that match the charts as closely as possible. All the numbers on the dice do not have to be used. |
Adjusting Pitching Columns When adjusting the pitching columns to accommodate different cards, don't use the R column and never have more than one "open-zero value" column. |
