Blogger Baseball Scorecard: New York Yankees @ Toronto Blue Jays

New York Yankees @ Toronto Blue Jays - Game 3
SP Javier Vazquez (4-5, 6.06 ERA) vs. SP Brandon Morrow (4-4, 6.00 ERA)
Sunday, June 6th 2010 - 1:07 PM EDT
Rogers Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Current (10:30 AM) Weather : 14°C | 60°F
Wind, NNE 26 kph | 16 mph

If the temperature reaches the forecast high of 18°C the Dome might be open for the game. If it is, all folded up - cupped with-in itself over the outfield - it acts like a aircraft wing in the north wind, creating a vacuum as it blows over the hump - creating a draft low on the field out, to centre field and swirling winds higher up. High drives will hang up while Bautista-esque LD HR's will succeed.

Yesterday's 14 inning game tested this DIY score card. I tried to add innings, honest I did have a plan for extra innings, but I could not; too many parameters of the blog and the card had to be changed, so my scoring ended in the 10th.

To make sure that doesn't happen again I've added another inning to the starting card. (I find that if a game goes into extras it usually ends in the 10th - if a game goes past the 10th inning they can go on forever.) I've opened up the blog to a width of 2700 pixels to accommodate header coding that can now support a 20 inning AB table. In the event of another long game I'm ready to add innings to the score card quickly, with a few clicks in the html.

I've also separated out the R-H-E-LOB table from the pitching table so the former can expand to 18 innings with a couple of clicks.

I hope today's game does go into extras - so I can test my plan.

Notes:

Umpires:

Home - Bruce Dreckman
First Base - Paul Emmel
Second Base - Bill Hohn
Third Base - Gary Darling

Top of the 2nd
Rodrigues hit the ball between 3rd and short while one think the other wasn't going to get it would have resulted in one of the two stopping the ball, neither did. Rodrigues starts and stops then starts then goes, by then Bautista had the ball and thew to Gonzalez for an easy out.
Canos GB down the 3rd base line slices way foul, fair ball, the ball boy makes a nice play on it. Opps.

Top of Three
Jeter swings and misses badly the bat goes out of his hand as fast as a bullet - the crowd cheers, no pic. someone must have caught it cleanly.

Top of Eight
Swish is called out and argues and Manager Joe Girardi is tossed for arguing the strike zone (which is all over the place and BIG imho).
