#287---ARI @ CLE, 3/3/2021


2021 Spring Training games offer the opportunity for all manner of oddities. I already had an example of a schedule game of less than nine innings and the notation “IT” for “inning terminated” in #261, and this game features those examples as well. What it adds is Taylor Widener making two separate stints on the mound for Arizona without moving to another position in-between. I decided that the best way to handle this was to give him two separate pitching lines and note that the second stint was a “re-entry”. As for the game, the Indians committed four errors including two by former Gold Glover Roberto Perez in the third (“[CE2]” indicating a muffed foul pop that extended Leyba’s at bat). One of the highlights was listening to Tom Hamilton not even bother to try pronouncing “Querecuto”.
