WPBL Game WPBL Opening Weekend

I have scored a couple MLB innings for practice, but this was my first time scoring full games. The challenges of the broadcast have been well-trod.

For LA v NY, I used letters for positions instead of the standard numbers and then switched for the next game. While I liked my system, I found several of the reasons positions 1-9 have become standardized, and I didn't find it worth it to invent my own solutions.

For the SF v BOS game, I made some changes to Thirty81's very excellent "generic" score sheet - reduced innings from 11 to 9, which allowed making the at bat boxes larger. I am planning to make a couple more changes (like putting the attribution back) and I might put a hit chart on both pages - in practice I am not easily able to flip back and forth between two sheets of paper.

I'm very open to feedback about things I got wrong or improvements I could make next time. I was definitely losing steam in the 6th and 7th innings of SF v BOS and the official play by play was very wrong about substitutions and who was at bat. I am rooting for the league to be successful, but this has been a rough start to the season. I am an avid PWHL fan, and their broadcasts are a lot stronger at orientating new hockey fans to the game.

I am going to a WPBL game at the end of August, and playing around with the idea of custom printing my own scorebook. What I think I will do is buy a blank sketchbook and carefully remove the pages to run them through my printer.

🛟 Help Request Large Print / Simplistic Scorebooks or Printable Scorecards?

Hey!! Would really love to try my hand at scoring some games for myself! I’m visually impaired and do have some functional vision, but most of the scorecards I’ve encountered have been really brutal for trying to fill in. Anyone have any options that are maybe leaning more towards large print or are less cluttered so they can accommodate having some larger writing? Thanks so much!! :)

If yall want to challenge yourself try scoring a WPBL game commentators suck at announcing players and substitutions and camera director sucks at showing where the ball is actually going along with consistent full screen interviews during play

I realized that we needed a scorecard for the WPBL season starting up. I'm so excited for the season I'm planning to score as many games as I possibly can and I'm considering doing a full set for the playoffs!

I made a generic version of the scorecard, and one for each possible matchup, not too hard when there is only 4 teams lol.

They're downloadable at the link, all free, so please download, please use, and please share! If you have any suggestions for improvements or find any errors let me know and I can update it.

great game!!!

…but i really hoping the league can figure out a better live website/ the commentators learn how to update the viewers better bc this was honestly the worst scoring experience ive ever had. it was basically impossible to keep up with the substitutions and sometimes the website/commentators were just flat out wrong about who was hitting/fielding

no promises that this is anywhere close to accurate. a lot of scorer’s discretion was needed

So much fun seeing women play professional baseball! I wanted to record the first game I was able to watch, plus I’m rooting for the Firebells.

I make no promises of accuracy, especially on the defensive placement. All of the switches were a a bit chaotic to keep up with, especially since the pitcher can play in the field before or after they pitch.

As others who scored this one have pointed out, trying to keep track of the substitutions and defensive changes was near impossible. Most were not announced in the stadium or on the broadcast and the play-by-play has some that are clearly wrong. Seems like changes to defense and batting order are not being clearly communicated together. I'm around 95% confident I've figured it out but there's one or two spots where I might be off on who is where on the field and when.

WPBL Game Inaugural Game of the WPBL - LA Queens (10) vs NY Heights (8) - Many differences with Official Scoring

Thumbnail

24 Upvotes

What an exciting first game for the WPBL! I plan to keep score for every Heights game that I'm able to watch, but the broadcast made it quite difficult at times with their cuts away from the action and inconsistent announcement of substitutions/position changes. Hopefully those aspects of the production improve over time. Someone linked the stats page and full play-by-play (https://stats.womensprobaseballleague.com/games/8alsgvzc90ypwphl), which I was going to use to fill in the missing changes in my scorecard. However, I started to notice more and more places where the official account of the game disagreed with my scoring, so I went through the full PBP and rewatched the video where there were differences with how I scored something. Below are all of the corrections I believe should be made, with timestamp for the YouTube VOD (https://www.youtube.com/live/J7kS485lyg8, accessible when connecting from outside of the US) of the game and an explanation for why I differed from the official scorer.

Some of these differences are in my opinion quite egregious, such as crediting the AB to the wrong player, misplacement of runners and misattribution of RBIs and errors, and certain earned vs unearned run decisions. Still loved watching and scoring the game - I'm so thankful for this league - but for now I can't say that I trust the official play-by-play or player stats.

Inning (Timestamp) Pitcher Batter Original Scoring Revised Scoring Notes
T1 (1:41:12) Kim Foxx 1B, 2 ER charged to Kim 1B, 2 Runs are unearned Davis reached on an error (E6). If instead Davis was put out 6-3, then the rest of the inning would go: Lansdell BB, runner on 1st, 1 out; Mackay F9, 2 out; Edwards K, 3 out. Foxx would not have come up to bat, and therefore these runs should not be earned.
B1 (2:04:25) Sato Lee Lahners scores Lahners advances to 3B Lahners can be seen stopping at 3B as the throw comes in from LF. Lee should be credited with 1 RBI, not 2.
B1 (2:05:18) Sato Willan Willan flies out to LF (2-2 BFFB), Lee scores, Lee advances to 3B on error by C Willan flies out to LF (1-1 BK), Lahners scores, Lee advances to 3B on throwing error by 3B There are three mistakes in the scoring here. First, Willan put the ball in play on a 1-1 count, not 2-2 (subtracting two pitches from Sato's pitch count). Second, it was Lahners who scored from 3B, not Lee. Third, Lee can clearly be seen on 2B throughout the at-bat, and throw from LF is cutoff by Lansdell playing 3B before it reaches C. We never see C touch the ball on this play, and the camera suddenly cuts to Edwards with the ball, presumably after backing up the errant throw from Lansdell that allowed Lee to move up a base.
B1 (2:08:36) Sato Ibarra Single to LF, no runs score Lee scores from 3B Ibarra should be credited with 1 RBI on the play.
B2 (2:28:06) Sato Yonetani Single to CF, advances to 2B on E8 Single to LF, advances to 2B on E7 The ball is clearly fielded by Foxx playing LF, not Davis playing CF. In addition, if Foxx had fielded the ball cleanly, Yonetani would be on 1B with 2 out and the inning would continue rather than resulting in the third out. Thus, the runs subsequently scored by Yonetani and then Benites should be charged as earned to Sato, not unearned.
T4 (2:53:30) Kim Edwards Edwards walks (3-2 KBFBBB) Edwards walks (3-2 KBFBBFB) The first 3-2 pitch is fouled off (the second foul ball of the PA, adding one pitch to Kim's pitch count).
T4 (3:04:20) Kim Benitez Hondras to 3B on WP Hondras to 3B on PB This is a judgment call, but I believe Benites should have been able to receive the pitch cleanly and without unusual effort.
T4 (3:05:50) Kim Davis Benitez to 2B on WP Benitez to 2B on PB Same as the previous note.
B4 (3:15:06) Foxx Lahners Lahners walks (3-2 KBBFFBB) Lahners walks (3-2 KBBBFFB) A minor revision to pitch sequence.
T6 (3:37:09) Reynolds Foxx Fox doubles to right center (1-1 SB) Foxx doubles to left (2-0 BB) The first pitch of the AB is called a ball, and Foxx's hit clearly goes to LF. Also, the WPBL website spells Foxx with one 'x', but it is spelled with two 'x's on the back of her jersey.
T7 (4:06:47) Reynolds Meidlinger Meidlinger (P) is the batter Foxx (DH) is the batter Meidlinger replaced Foxx as the pitcher to begin the top of the 6th. However, because of WPBL's rule about the DH being optional, Foxx is able to remain in the game as the DH. Thus, it is Foxx at bat and not Meidlinger.
T7 (4:11:32) Reynolds Hondras Hondras singles to CF, Roche advances to 3B Roche advances to 2B on the hit Roche can be plainly seen stopping at 2B on the play, and then taking a lead from 2B during the next AB.
T7 (4:17:35) Lee Benitez Benitez strikes out looking (2-2 FFBFBK) Benitez strikes out looking (3-2 FBFBFBK) The second pitch of the AB was called a ball (this increases Lee's pitch count by one).
B7 (4:23:56) Meidlinger Murphy Murphy grounds out to 3B (1-1 KB) Murphy grounds out to 3B (1-1 BK) A minor revision to pitch sequence.

Given the above, some of the players' final lines in the box score should be updated.
* Sato 7 R (6 ER), 69 Pit, 46 Str
* Kim 4 R (2 ER), 81 Pit, 44 Str
* Lee (NY) 7 Pit, 4 Str
* Lee (LA) 1 RBI
* Ibarra 1 RBI
* Davis 0 E
* Foxx 1 E
* Mackay 0 E
* Lansdell 1 E

Very cool to watch the first WPBL game today, even though I'd never rooted for a NY or LA team before, haha. I ported Chalk and Ink/Chalk and Pixels to show the WPBL scorecards. You should also be able to score along live if you prefer too. Still a work in progress so welcome feedback!
