A question regarding scorekeeping

by GoLightning on May 6, 2009 5:52 PM EDT

If a pitcher is replaced during an at bat with a 3 - 0 count and the relief pitcher goes on to walk the batter, who is credited with the walk? I am assuming the starter, but would like to be sure before I saddle the one of the poor saps with a walk. Oh wait, it's just Little League and the players don't care, but I am still curious. Thanks for your help.

Dunno for sure

But I assume it’s the guy that threw the fourth ball.

The first pitcher is credited with the base on balls.

IIRC, the outgoing pitcher gets credited with a walk if he threw at least one non-strike to the batter.

And I seem to recall that the outgoing pitcher gets credited for a strikeout only if he threw at least 2 strikes to the batter. But this seems awfully fuzzy to me, and I can’t seem to find it officially anywhere…

Edwin Encarnacion gets the walk.

Question about Holds

I saw on the wikipedia site for Holds that you have to have four or less innings remaining in the game to record a hold. So if a relief pitcher comes in to record an out in the fifth while your team has a 4-2 lead and then comes back for the sixth inning and record three more outs, does he get credit for a hold?

Scorecard?

For those of you that keep score, what kind of card do you use? The one at the park? Scorebook? Make your own? Just curious…

As far as score keeping goes;

Men get no points for doing the stuff that women think they should already be doing..like taking out the trash, (No obc, not White Trash)
Women however, gets points for everything that they do because they say so.

Sound pretty fair to me.
