Citi Field updated the scoreboard this season. It’s now a little more colorful, but more importantly it now contains a lot of new info.
You’ve got stats, including career stats, for the batter. These include more than the traditional HR and RBI that you used to see. You’ve got OBP, and SLG, and OPS, and even XBH.
You’ve got a spray chart for all the balls in play for the batter during the game, including a recap of each of his at-bats.
You’ve still got a little factoid, and most of them are still pretty silly, about the player.
There’s an in-inning summary of how each batter did and how they did or did not get on base.
The pitching summary includes a dynamic WHIP and ERA as well, while still maintaining the K count and giving you the pitch speed.
There’s a ton of info on there, and it’s great to see. Now we’ll have less reason to need to pull up baseball-reference on our phones mid-game to check on players. Speaking of which, they really need an Android app.
I may not make out to the Mets ballpark so thanks for posting. I heard conflicting reports about the attendance.
the ‘conflicting reports’ is a talk radio thing. I suspect the truth is they sold enough standing room only tickets to cover the handful of empty seats that didn’t sell in some of the higher priced sections and that made up the difference.
The attendance is definately deceiving. Because the homeplate seats are so expensive, they are rarely filled. On TV, it gives the unfortunate impression that the place is empty.
It still baffles me that the Mets are willing to let the best seat in the stadium go unused.
Went to a game right before the all-star game 2 years ago. They were still in it, they.were playing the braves, it was a perfect Sunday afternoon, and the whole place was DEAD! It was quiet, boring, and all those seats around home plate empty.
Under those circumstances, the place should be rockin’ but it was so dead. In fact, it was Jason Bay Bobble-Head day and they gave him THE DAY OFF! How do you give a guy the day off on his own bobble-head day. Absolutely unacceptabe team management. Thank God things are changing.
That’s a total Mets move! Give Bay the day off that they celebrate him. Ugh!
