Thanks, Swampboy and Cabbagedad! Really good suggestions for how to look at the plays.
This won't be news to you, but I use gamechanger to keep my Mom informed about her two grandsons' progress (soph on Varsity, 8th grader on Intermediate). When other parents found out what I was doing they asked to be included in the community. Fine, except that there are often messy plays like the first one I posted that directly affect their kids' stats, which they hold sacrosanct. Even if everyone had the same amount of baseball background there would be issues, right. But it's even worse when people think they know more than they do about the game (myself included). I'm tempted, after this spring, to just go private with the scoring.
Anyway, thanks again. Really appreciate both of your insights!
