Home Field ScorebooK

It’s been awhile since an update. Lots of great things, but a couple of enhancements would be nice. Needs an option related to extra inning MiLB games. During MiLB games, the most recently retired batter begins extra inning games on second base (an effort to increase scoring/decrease game times). Anyway we can add this option during extra inning games? A simple “yes/no” prompt to add a base runner to second base would be awesome. Still one of the best score keeping apps out there. Thanks!

Pros: Can add a tremendous number of players to teams so if you want to score a Spring Training MLB game or if a team just has a lot of players, this app can handle it. Can add various leagues so you can score your kid’s baseball game and an AL MLB game with the DH. You can also assign multiple home fields to teams if you want/need to. Pretty cool extras include Pat Venditte mode to accommodate the rare switch pitcher situation. Support is pretty responsive also which is uncommon. Cons: Very buggy. I tend to set the lineups for MLB games when they come out 2-3 hours prior to game time and by the time it is time to start, players are just missing. This happens often. Lots of tediousness as well. Once the game starts, you can not view the batting order and the app uses an Undo button for correction however you can not go back to a certain point and make a correction so you have to hit Undo NUMEROUS times to correct. Also, it is overly complicated to handle classic NL double switches. Overall, for a pay app, I expect more. There are some great features but it needs to be more user friendly and intuitive. Feels like work to use this app. Not a great replacement for a paper scorebook and overall does not make things easier to score digitally.

I have used the app for several years but there are 2 glaring problems for Little League. If you play in a league that allows a coach to play standard 9, or 10 with extra hitter, or bat all and put any 9 in the field...good luck. You must tell the app in advance how many players BOTH teams will be using. If they have 12, and you have 10, you will have 2 ghost batters in your order that you must advance past each time that they come due. If you have a 5 run rule...good luck. Very glitchy to end the inning when that run scores....sometimes the next inning will lead with the batter that got the 5th run in, other times it will be the proper batter, (God help you if it is the aforementioned ghost batter). Further complicating this is my league allows unlimited runs in a teams last at-bat. A simple addition to the “other play” tab would be “end 1/2 inning x run rule”.

I'm in the third season and the APP continues to be a head turner, whether I'm in the press box or in the stands. Printing out the scoresheets, box score and game logs just add to the tools for managing the team, no matter what the level. It's easy and simple! The support it tops too. DPF ******* This is my fourth season using this app and I score four, sometimes five games a week, and this app with the improvements made this season continues to meet the needs of scoring no matter what the level of play. The scoresheet printing make meeting league requirements easy and neat. This app has kept pace with MLB rule changes in the intentional walk. A must have for the team scorer and the fan who wants to add to the game experience. DPF

I love how I can get a play by play log, box score and score card. These are handy files that I can share with the coach. Keeping track of pitchers and their tendencies is a nice feature showing total pitches, strikes and balls-Being able to list the type of pitch thrown would be a good addition. On the downside, if you’re in a league that limits the number of runs per inning then you have to end on a half inning and make some minor adjustments if the last batter hits a home run while the bases are loaded. The best part is how attentive support is and how quickly they respond to inquiries. I can hardly wait for the next update!
