Scoresheet Game Symbols
Game Symbols
SH means sac hit (bunt).
F means the batter was out while trying and failing to sacrifice (so the runner does NOT advance).
SF means sac fly (the lead runner moving up a base.)
A + before the main symbol means the man on base moved up on a steal.
A + after the main symbol means one baserunner moves up an extra base on the play. For example, if a man is on first base and the batter has a 1B+, this means the batter goes to first and the runner goes to third; one base for the single and one base for the +. ++ means 2 baserunners each move up an extra base.
A - sign before the main symbol means the baserunner was caught stealing.
a / means the other team changed pitchers. (Actually, we have three different symbols for changing pitchers. A / means the other team's pitcher reached his hook number. A | means the pitcher was pinch hit for, A \ means the pitcher had to leave because he ran out of innings. In the NL, if your pitcher is going to run out of innings we will automatically pinch hit for him.)
A * stands for how many baserunners scored during that play (not exactly a RBI since there is a star even if a run scores on an error or a DP). No star is given for the batter's run on a HR, as we figure it is obvious the batter scores on a HR. We do also keep an official total of RBI's for each of your players.
An 'O' followed by a number means that corresponding fielder made an 'outstanding' play.
'p' stands for passed ball, and w stands for wild pitch.
Scoresheet Errors
A leading +e means a catcher made an error on a steal attempt.
An E before the main symbol means the pitcher made an error on a pickoff attempt - in both cases the baserunner goes from first to third.
An e after the main symbol means there was a throwing error, everyone moves up a base.
An e1, e2, e3, e4, e5, or e6 means that fielder made an error on a hit ball - the batter gets to first and all baserunners move up one base.
An E7, E8, or E9 means that OFer made a fielding error - the batter gets second base, and all runners move up 2 bases.
Standings Symbols
Down in the standings section RS stands for run support (runs scored per game)
OP stands for a team's total number of outstanding plays. Run support can help explain your pitcher's W-L record, and when we periodically print out your individual pitcher's stats we'll show the run support each of your starting pitchers has gotten.
OPS stands for On-base + Slugging Percentage (an excellent measure of a batter's overall offensive ability.)
Web Page Symbols
As far as the symbols, it is rather confusing, because on different pages the same symbol may mean different things.)
On the lineup card form the * means that player bats/pitches as a lefty and the # means he is a switch hitter.
On the rosters on your league's home page (for continuing leagues -
not one year leagues) the * means that player still qualifies as a
Scoresheet minor leaguer (has less than 70 career at-bats, or less
than 25 career major league innings pitched.)
But on the page called '
For the stats uploaded on Friday and showing during the weekend the dash means that batters had less than 4 plate appearances so far that week (Monday thru Thursday) or the pitcher has zero innings pitched so far that week.
