The flow of games may come to a halt, but there really isn’t an off-season in baseball.\u00c2\u00a0 MLB teams will simply divert all their energy to building for next year: pursuing free agents and discussing possible trades.\u00c2\u00a0 The players will be keeping in shape, making sure they are in prime condition by the time Spring Training and the World Baseball Classic rolls around.\u00c2\u00a0 And us here at BaseballGB<\/em> will also be busy working on a number of projects and introducing several new features that have been in the planning stages for a few months.<\/p>\n The first of these features will debut at noon tomorrow.\u00c2\u00a0 Taking inspiration from the classic football strip “You Are the Ref”, we will be placing you in the ‘scorer’ hot seat every Friday lunchtime with our new series: “You Are the Scorer”.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/p>\n Each week, a scoring scenario of varying degrees of difficulty will be put before you with a number of possible answers to consider.\u00c2\u00a0 Once you’ve made your decision, a click on the ‘Continued’ link will reveal the official ruling and an explanation.\u00c2\u00a0 We hope it will be a fun way to test your scoring knowledge while helping to explain the official rules relating to scoring.<\/p>\n On a technical note, those of you who follow the blog via the RSS feed may want to log on directly to the home page to enjoy the full experience, as otherwise the full post (including the answer) will be displayed from the outset.<\/p>\n ‘You Are the Scorer’ is one of a number of scoring-related features that we will be bringing to you over the off-season.\u00c2\u00a0 The GBBSA blog category has already been introduced (accompanying the excellent GBBSA website), a Baseball Basics for Brits<\/em> on ‘Keeping Score’ is in the works, as are some downloadable scorecards and a series of posts looking at some completed scoresheets from MLB and British ballgames.<\/p>\n We hope you enjoy the new feature.\u00c2\u00a0 Feel free to use the Comments function to ask any questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The flow of games may come to a halt, but there really isn’t an off-season in baseball.\u00c2\u00a0 MLB teams will simply divert all their energy to building for next year: pursuing free agents and discussing possible trades.\u00c2\u00a0 The players will be keeping in shape, making sure they are in prime condition by the time Spring […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,41],"tags":[87],"class_list":["post-1174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-site-info","category-you-are-the-scorer","tag-gbbsa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1174","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1174"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1174\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5686,"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1174\/revisions\/5686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1174"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baseballgb.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
