Some scorekeeping and stats questions concerning LOB's:
1. Assume a tie game, bottom of the last inning, bases loaded. Clean hit means game ends as go-ahead run touches home. Do you count the other runners as LOB's in the game stats? If so, would you count 2 or 3 in this scenario?
2. Our web site (leaguelineup.com) has a stat tracking option that allows you to assess LOB's to particular players. Do you only do this for the batter who made the third out?
3. Bases loaded, one out, batter hits into DP. How many LOB's do you charge? There are only 2 LOB's as the others were retired and not left, but it seems odd to relieve the batter of the responsibility for not getting runs in when he created the DP. Or, is it just that tracking DP's is already its own category?
