Fielding positions by inning

Post by promark747 » Wed Feb 01, 2012 7:42 am

With the new iPad release, I was wondering if there are any plans to make the "fielding positions by inning" graphic available within the scoring screen. (I believe this request was originally discussed last season.) Essentially it would mean taking the chart that is at the end of the Play-by-Play screen on the team website and making it readily available in the scoring screen. There are times the manager will ask me who has played which positions, who hasn't sat out two innings, etc., and the best way for me to get this info is through this chart. I know I can look at the scorecard, but that isn't nearly as easy to read as this chart...here is an example:

Visitor Fielding Inning
1 2 3 4 5 6
#5 John Dutton SS SS SS SS - P
#1 Jim Smith CF RF - C C -
#14 Steve Stone P CF - CF CF -
#2 Colin Jones - C CF - SS C
#4 Brent Moore - 1B RF RF - P, 1B
#22 Adam Daly RF P - 3B RF 3B
#11 Jeff Aragon 3B 3B 3B - 3B LF
#3 Matt Stein C - C LF LF SS
#12 Chris Adams - 2B 2B - 2B 2B
#7 Tyler Benson LF - P P P RF
#45 John Green 1B - 1B 1B 1B -
#9 Mark Moses 2B LF LF 2B - CF

I'm hoping it's a relatively easy thing, since the data and format are already established...just need to get it into the app itself so we can see while scoring. Ideally it would be accessed similarly to the new feature where you can pull the scorecard from the right edge.

Thanks!

Edit: the example I gave doesn't look nearly as nice as it does in actual use (the columns line up nicely)...don't know why my post scrunched the columns.

good idea, will defer to FTM to comment.

(may be a technical challenge where chart is built, local device or on web server. but agree access to that table would be a nice to have locally and ideally as a stand alone table off web site, -As opposed to end of play by play. ).

another thing worth noting on that table and a suggestion for future version is adding clarify for partial innings played.. i.e. say you replace the short stop after two outs in the 8th inning..

8th inning
player A SS (0.2)
player B SS (0.1)

Will add the suggestions to our list, but it is not currently high on the list of priorities. Thank you.
