Around here? Plenty! The scorekeepers take almost an entire inning (or more) to update the scoreboard with the correct runs and outs, and there have been a number of instances when this delay caused problems with umpires who didn't keep track of runs. Either the score showed that it was a tie (and the teams played an extra inning) or the score showed that someone won (when it was really a tie).

So yeah, with each runner that crosses the plate, I use the Innings (AKA - Hot Moms) wheel to keep track of the runs. After all, it goes from 0 to 9, just like our base-10 mathematics.

We've complained over and over again to the organizers of the league, but they don't seem to do anything about it. Well, they did remove the TV...

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
