#70---STL @ PHI, 5/5/2010



For 2010, I have expanded my coding system to allow for more detail, primarily about the location of batted balls. The outfield is broken down into 7l, 7, 78, 87, 8, 89, 98, 9, and 9l, with the l represented by a cursive l to avoid any confusion with my older scoresheets which used l for line drive. Additionally, there is s for shallow, d for deep, w for warning track/wall, and implied m for medium depth on outfield batted balls.

Examples on display in this sheet include but are not limited to:

* Rasmus' second inning double, a fly ball down the right field line and to the warning track (9l)
* Ibanez' second inning fly to left, caught in medium left-center (78)
* Ludwick's third inning fly to center, caught in medium center-right (89)
* Utley's fourth inning line drive to deep right
* Kendrick's fifth inning pop to second, caught in shallow right-center (98s)
* Rasmus' ninth inning fly to right, caught near the line and medium-deep (9l)

On hits, the location detail across the width of the field is listed next to the hit code itself (ie. =98l), but the depth is recorded as a subscript. For outs, all clarifying location detail is written as a subscript.
