…we can play our own game until then.
This is a little time-killing game that I came up with back in 2002. (See this and this for more on what was done back at that time.) Here’s how it works…
This is a fictional baseball game. When you leave a comment to this entry, you must:
- – state the inning and score at the moment (based on the previous comment)
- – give the runners on base and the outs (also based on the previous comment)
- – provide what your batter will do
- – and, if it’s the end of the 1/2 inning, give the score and the inning at the close of the inning.
I’ll do the first two batters to give an example.
Play Ball!

Bottom 1st, Home Team Leading 1-0
Runners on 1st and 3rd, one out
Batter lines a shot that hits the pitching rubber on a fly – it bounces back to the catcher behind HP, also on the fly, and he catches it for an out. He then throws to 3rd to double that runner off base. DP 2-5. End of the inning.
Visitors 0, Home 1, End of 1st Inning.

Steve,
Why is there 1 out? batter is safe at first because of throwing error?
