The Ugly Inning

I've scored about 30 or so games for MLB.com's Gameday system starting last season in Kansas City. Tonight in the Diamond Backs 10-4 victory I scored what was for me the most difficult inning thus far with the possible exception of the infield fly fiasco in last year in Kansas City.

Here's the play-by-play for the top of the third inning in which the D'Backs scored three runs.

Diamondbacks 3rd (Diamondbacks 7, Rockies 0) -- S. Green singles up the middle. J. CruzJr. reaches on force attempt, throwing error by T. Helton, S. Green to 2nd. With R. Clayton batting, S. Green advances to 3rd on a balk; J. CruzJr. advances to 2nd on a balk. R. Clayton reaches on a fielder's choice out, J. Wright unassisted, S. Green out at home. C. Snyder singles to left-center field, J. CruzJr. scores; R. Clayton to 3rd. B. Webb reaches on force attempt, throwing error by J. Closser, R. Clayton scores; B. Webb to 2nd; C. Snyder advances to 3rd on throwing error by C. Barmes. C. Counsell hit by pitch. C. Tracy grounds into a force out, A. Miles to C. Barmes, C. Snyder scores; B. Webb to 3rd; C. Counsell out at 2nd. L. Gonzalez walks, C. Tracy to 2nd. T. Glaus strikes out swinging.
(3 Runs, 2 Hits, 3 Errors, 3 LOB)

Although there were only three runs scored, the codes used to enter these plays were difficult to figure out. Luckily, during the game I'm on AOL instant messenger with a support person who "talked" me through them.

• S. Green singles up the middle. (S8/G)
• J. CruzJr. reaches on force attempt, throwing error by T. Helton, S. Green to 2nd. (E3/TH/FO/G.1-2)
• With R. Clayton batting, S. Green advances to 3rd on a balk; J. CruzJr. advances to 2nd on a balk. (BK.2-3;1-2)
• R. Clayton reaches on a fielder's choice out, J. Wright unassisted, S. Green out at home. (FC1/G.3XH(1))
• C. Snyder singles to left-center field, J. CruzJr. scores; R. Clayton to 3rd. (S7/L.2-H(UR);1-3)
• B. Webb reaches on force attempt, throwing error by J. Closser, R. Clayton scores; B. Webb to 2nd; C. Snyder advances to 3rd on throwing error by C. Barmes. C. (E2/TH/FO/BG.3-H(UR)(NR)(TH);1-3(E6/TH);B-2)
• Counsell hit by pitch. (HBP)
• C. Tracy grounds into a force out, A. Miles to C. Barmes, C. Snyder scores; B. Webb to 3rd; C. Counsell out at 2nd. (46(1)/FO/G.3-H(UR);2-3)
• L. Gonzalez walks, C. Tracy to 2nd. (W.1-2)
• T. Glaus strikes out swinging. (K)

And just for good measure, later in the game I had the following play:

S9/L-.2-H;BX2(926362)

which translates to:

L. Gonzalez singles to right-center field, C. Tracy scores; L. Gonzalez out at 2nd, B. Hawpe to J. Closser to C. Barmes to T. Helton to C. Barmes to J. Closser.

Hoping for smoother sailing on Tuesday night.
