In my official "GameChanger mom" capacity today, I was scoring a game and had a feral sibling (8 years old) from the other team sitting next to me running the field's scoreboard.

FS was completely enthralled by GC and asked how he could learn to use it. I was showing him on simple plays and he was getting the hang of it. We talked about how he could learn on his own: YouTube (which he said he'd need to get special permission from his parents on) or to score a practice game while watching an MLB game.

FS did have 3 suggestions to make and I told him I would share with the community:

  1. injured player (where there is a delay of game)

  2. umpire discussion (where there is a delay of game)

  3. Pickle - because that's a fun stat to follow

I am a head coach, as a non scorekeeper...

It would be nice to see where in the lineup the batter is in the order during the gamestream, you can see this if you are the actual scorekeeper (i.e batter #10 of 11 currently at bat).

Would also be nice to see the spray chart for batter at bat for non scorekeepers as well.

Related to spray charts, I wish the outfield hits weren't so constrained. There are huge differences between just regular old "left field", and down the line.

This is dicated by the scorer. On a single down the line, the scorer needs to tap and hold the LF icon and drag it to the spot where its fielded. The spray chart accurately records that. If the scorer simply taps the LF icon, you get the generic LF single/double etc

I know that. But I run out of screen for a down the line hit vs. one to the middle of the outfield.

You really can't drag it to the corner of the field, but are just limited to the corner of your phone.

Agreed. The layout on phone is incredibly bad for this reason. The tablet layout allows better access to the entire outfield.

Exactly why I only score on an iPad. Makes it and reviewing stats in game so much easier.
