If a particular game mentioned on a News Page piques your curiosity, you can view the box score or the play by play (Game Recap) through the Game Recap button.
You can also view a Box Score or Game Recap from the Calendar Screen. A normal left-click on any completed game brings up the box score for the game. A right-click displays the game's play by play. If clicking on a day doesn't display the box score, then you can change the settings for which games are saved using the Options Dialog.
The Box Score summarizes the performances of individual players in a game. Unlike the Game Recap, which shows the game events in the order they occurred, the Box Score shows game totals for each player.
The first section of the Box Score is the line score. This shows number of runs
scored by each team in each inning. To save space, the number of runs scored by any team after the 9th inning are
totaled in the column labeled '+'. Any game that requires extra innings was tied after the first 9 innings. Therefore,
the team that scores the most runs in extra innings will also be the winner.
The columns labeled R, H and E show the Runs, Hits and Errors totals for each team.
The Box Score shows the batting totals for the visiting team first, followed by
their pitching totals. Then batting and pitching stats are shown for the home team.
The batting list shows the team's lineup in order, with their position for the game in parentheses. Any players
that were substituted for other players are shown indented, with the role they filled in parentheses. 'PH' indicates
a Pinch Hitter and 'PR' indicates a Pinch Runner.
Each line shows the players offensive stats as follows:
ab: at bats
h: hits
bb: walks
r: runs scored
hr: home runs
bi: runs batted
k: strikeouts
sb: stolen bases
The pitcher list shows all players who pitched in that game for that team, in
the order they appeared. Thus, the first pitcher shown is the starting pitcher.
Each line shows the following pitching stats:
ip: innings pitched
h: hits allowed
bb: walks allowed
hr: home runs allowed
r: runs allowed
er: earned runs allowed
k: strikeouts
pit: pitches thrown
The last few lines of the box score show the pitchers that received a decision or a save in the game. 'WP' indicates the winning pitcher while 'LP' shows the losing pitcher. The parentheses show the pitcher's updated record for the year (through the game shown).
If a save was awarded, the saving pitcher is listed next to 'SV'. The number in parentheses indicates how many saves the pitcher now has.
