Minima IV - Colour Menu on Top

This is a new "Minima IV" at-bat box design which renders four Colour Notations Scoring Menus along the right side of the At-Bat box --- instead of in four pop-up menu, as in my last post on this latest version in the Internet Baseball Scorecard.
( http://internetbaseballscorecard.blogspot.com/2011/12/minima-iv.html )

'Minima IV' AB box Image - rendered in Google Chrome

The colour notation 'Selection Menus' open by clicking on the appropriate 'base' icon. When you click on the First Base icon ( the furthest right black triangle on the peach coloured, infield icon ), the First Base menu opens, indicated by the 1 in the bottom white box. In this coding the colour notation menu remains live until you choose another menu by clicking on a different Base icon. Click on any of the colours in the menu and an appropriately coloured triangle will appear on the chosen side of the infield.

In My scorekeeping universe: red means Out, pink means Error, yellow means Fielder's Choice, lime green means Base Hit, forest green means the runner advanced via ball put into play by another batter, blue means Stolen Base, navy blue indicates the route by which a Run was scored and RBI awarded. The bottom two boxes are field green and white - for fixing mistakes.

The Miima IV At-Bat (AB) box is less than half the size of the "Minima III" baseball scorecard AB box - but it has many hidden functions that provide for lots of customization for the individual user. Each quadrant of the AB box has text areas for recording scorekeeper notations - five lines high that allow for "Project Scoresheet" scoring notation protocols - but instead of room for 13 characters as in the Minima III scorecard, there are 7 in this sleek version. All text areas have hidden scroll bars which allow for any amount of text - but to keep the look of the card clean, I suggest limiting your notations to 5 lines. By clicking the button a "notepad" is available for any extra notations you wish, or for notes. The notepad closes by clicking on the "notepad" button again.

All the elements discussed above are Live in this example:

Minima IV

This is a row of 4 newly coded, "Minima IV" AB boxes, for the "Internet Baseball Scorecard" project.

The new at-bat (AB) box is half the size - but has many hidden functions that provides more customization for the individual user. Each quadrant of the AB box still has text areas for recording scorekeeper notations - but instead of 5 rows, there are only three; and instead of room for 13 characters wide, there are now only 7. ( All text areas have hidden scroll bars which allow for any amount of text, but to keep the look of the card clean I suggest limiting yourself to the coded area indicated. )

To make up for the lost space each quadrant also has a hidden notepad - which you can open by clicking on the appropriate yellow box in each corner of each AB box. Again, each note pad has unlimited space - and you can open them up by dragging the arrow in the bottom right corner of the text area.

The colour notation 'Selection Menus' from last year's coding are still here, they still open by clicking on the appropriate 'base' icon. New in this coding: they close automatically after you click on the colour you want.

(felt like rock'n out there for a second)


Working as always, with the "Blogger-in-Draft" User Interface - today with Firefox 7 browser - instead of the usual Firefox 3 which allows the colour notations. The reason: since I added the disappeared scrolling text boxes the response time is horrible. Two lines of code in 4 CSS elements and the interface sucks - what's up with that?

The response time in Firefox 7 using the Blogger-in-Draft interface is exceptional.

Anyway no colour today, see how it goes, the 4th line of each quadrant of each AB box notes what happened to move the runner along that baseline - so in the first AB box below the notation "SB" along the 1B to 2B line indicates the runner is on second - around the clock backwards, the "RS" notation along that batter's 3B to HP line indicates that Furcal scored from 2B (on Berkman's HR).

Colour Legend (as of this date)

Neon Green is a Base Hit Forest Green is a runner advanced by a Base Hit or a Sacrifice Yellow is Intentional Base on Balls, Defensive Indifference, a Sacrafice or Fielder's Choice Red is an out Pink are un-earned bases - Wild Pitch, Passed Ball or an Error Neon Blue is a Stolen Base Navy Blue is a base earned via a Hit or a Sacrifice, that results in a Run Scored

The Scoring Notations

BB Base on Balls - Batter to first base because the umpire ruled that pitched ball was the forth pitch of the at-bat out of the strike zone HBP Hit By Pitch - Batter is ruled by the umpire to have been hit by pitch - awarded one base BH Base Hit - Batter-runner safe at first base via a hit ball 2BH Two Base Hit - Batter-runner safe at second base via a hit ball 3BH Three Base Hit - Batter-runner safe at third base via a hit ball HR Home Run - Batter-runner safe at home plate via a hit ball RBI Run Batted In - via a SAC, a BH or a BB - a run scores RS Run Scored. SAC Sacrifice - With less than two outs the batter causes a base runner to advance but in the process, is put out FC Ball hit on the ground, fielded and a put-out made of any base runner other than the batter-runner DI Defensive Indifference - A baserunner advances because the defence, for strategic reasons, does nothing IBB Intentional Base on Balls - The defences decides to walk a batter for strategic reasons

SB Stolen Base - Base runner advances on a pitched ball despite the defence's best efforts CS Caught Stealing - A baserunner is put out while tring to advance on a pitch K Called third strike - Batter out because the umpire ruled that with two strikes in an at-bat, a pitched ball was in the strike zone Ks Batter out, swinging third strike IFR Infield Fly Rule - A ball popped up on the infield that an umpire rules is easily catch-able - batter-runner is out, the ball is dead LO Ball caught that was hit so hard it appears like the vector was a straight line GO Ball hit on the ground, fielded and the batter-runner is put out at 1B FO A high arching hit ball caught on the fly by a fielder E The defence allows runners to advance because of less than stallar play Eth The defence allows runners to advance because of less than stallar throw WP Wild Pitch - a pitched ball that bounces in and is not caught by the catcher and that results in a runner advancing PB Passed Ball - a pitched ball that doesn't bounce and is not caught by the catcher and that results in a runner advancing

pop A ball hit in a high arch such that the distance travelled up is greater than the distance travelled from the plate GR To prevent injury, "Ground Rules" define what hit or thrown balls are in, and out of play - announced before each game by the home team manager f Hit ball caught in foul territory - for example "FO3f" - Fly Ball caught by First Base, foul op Out of Play - for example "FO5op", Fly ball caught by Third Base across the railing in the stands, or in the camera bay... BRIF Base runner is out for interfering with the defence while they're making a play on a batted ball Ksf2 Foul tip with 2 strikes, caught by catcher - strike three - - - - - - - - - - - -
