MLB 2020 tracker – the covid edition
24 Friday Jul 2020
The MLB kicked off today – with a truncated 60 game season due to the covid-19 pandemic.
I’ve drawn up my usual tracker for my team the Red Sox, but honestly I don’t reckon it’ll go the full season given community transmission of the virus is rampant stateside.
In the meantime, let’s play ball!

With a day to spare – phew. I’m all set to follow my team this year.
Similar format to last year but simplified. Aussie dates for games across the middle with each series grouped together. The red bar under the line is for home games at Fenway. Scores go in up the line with two lines at the top for notes. Last year I did one line pitching, one line for the rest but I think I’ll split offence and defence this time. We’ll see.
The boxes across the bottom are for colouring in each win. So the more the logo looks coloured, the better the team is going. Last year I tracked the losses as well, but I’ve dropped that. I like seeing how the American League East is looking – given that’s the first hurdle – so a visual of the number of wins across the five teams is great.
So here we go – 162 glorious games.
Let’s go Red Sox!
World Series baseball- Red Sox vs Dodgers game 5 scorecard #mlbnotes
01 Thursday Nov 2018
WORLD CHAMPIONS!! Woot woot.
The first two pages are my usual way of scoring the game. Score square to the right to allow room for notes down the left side (which may or may not have been needed for the previous inning).
The second two pages is the same game using the score stamp that @inkyourstyle made up for me. The square is larger than the normal scoresheet I was cutting up so I’ve had to rearrange my page layout a little. I’ll rejig it some more over the Australian season and be ready to go for the 2019 tilt at another World Series for the Red Sox. 💪🏼

The classic ‘game of two halves’. The first half with no offence scores and then BOOM! It all went off like a firecracker. I put it all on Sale’s firing them up at the bottom of the 6th.
Game 5 – the last of the three in Dodger Stadium – is tomorrow. The Red Sox have the chance to win it all. Otherwise it goes back to Fenway for the possible two deciders.
Play ball.
World Series baseball – Red Sox v Dodgers game 3 #mlbnotes
28 Sunday Oct 2018
Good God Almighty, let’s not do another epic double game like that in a hurry, ok? I’ve got hand cramps.
I can only imagine what Nathan Eovaldi and young Walker Buehler are feeling like after pitching so many innings each. Nine pitchers used on each side. All of the bench used by both Managers. They threw everything at each other and at the umpires for some seriously dodgy calls on both sides.
Can’t wait for Game 4 tomorrow – but let’s keep it the regulation 9 innings, shall we.

Again playing catch up with these but here is game 2’s scorecard for posterity.
Today’s Game 3 in LA is just about to start on a Saturday morning Aussie time, so I get to watch this one live. Woot woot.
Go Red Sox!!

What. A. Game.
This one had everything. Fan interference. Aggressive crowd. Some of the best fielding plays on both sides. Assertive base running. You name it.
I’m enjoying the difference in strategy both managers are using to choreograph their pitching talent, how they manage them, use them and when they sit them is fascinating.
In Res Sox tradition, the ‘win wall’ photo was that final catch by Benintendi. He needs a cape 💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
ALCS Red Sox v Astros game 3 #mlbnotes
19 Friday Oct 2018
Playing catch up at 1am Aussie time.
Game notes/scoresheet for game 3. JBJ’s grand slam and some low pitch outs from the bullpen. Awesome game. I am loving the concept of ‘being humble at the plate’. Terrific way to approach your at bat – not going for glory and the big ding – but playing strategic.
Red Sox v Houston Astros ALCS Game 2 game notes
15 Monday Oct 2018
Woot woot! Red Sox levelled the series at 1-1. Price didn’t pitch long enough to record the win, but he had some terrific low pitch count outs.
I love it when our offence gets out fast from the start – two runs in the first innings is great. We should do it again next time 😬
Mookie, Benintendi and JBJ smacked the ball around, even the Green Monsta took out an Astro for a few minutes.
Better throws to first base also – poor Pearce gets horizontal to catch out runners. He must have a Thor-like core strength. Maybe the team (particularly 3rd base and shortstop) could toss it cleaner and higher so he can catch standing vertical like the rest of you do…just a thought.
A little worried at the news on Sale being admitted to hospital. Fingers crossed it’s nothing scary or contagious!
On to Houston.
ALCS Game 1 – Red Sox v Astros score notes
14 Sunday Oct 2018
Well this was not fun.
High pitch count up front for Sale – who is no doubt more pissed about his performance than anyone else is. The bullpen did it’s best, but the Astros smacked it around. There were challenges aplenty and what can only be described as a “fluid” idea of a strike zone. The reaction to that in in the 5th innings had our Manager thrown out of the game. Hit batsmen, hit base coaches, even a hit umpire – this game had a little bit of everything.
We are one game down, but there’s still six to go. #DoDamage.
Red Sox v Yankees ALDS Game 4 score notes
14 Sunday Oct 2018
Another better late than never posting. This one is the fourth game in a the best of five series between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees in Yankee Stadium.
Up for grabs is the right to move onto the American League Conference Series (a best of 7 games) which we already know will be against the Houston Astros.
In honour of Alex Cora’s way of putting a photos a win on his office wall, I picked Benintendi getting fired up with a b/s call in the 8th inning. Classic lip reading opportunity. 🤣 Though, Sale coming out of the bullpen was a close second!
Moving on.

I don’t know how other fans of Major League Baseball keep a track of how their team is going, so I’m making up my own notes as I go along. The handful of diehard fans I know in Australia keep across their team’s performance by visiting the MLB or various other sports news websites, but I haven’t seen anyone else’s notes/teambook at all. I can’t be the only one putting pen to paper, surely!
Here’s my first few pages for the Red Sox season this year. I do the box score for each game and have a little room to write the most important take-away from the game – like a one line summary. I want to get more of a handle on how my team is doing in both home and away series against each team they play, so I started to colour code them – but I think it’s a bit busy. I’ll go back over these pages and draw a box around each series which might show them better.
Start of the 2017 Red Sox regular season games
The bit I am struggling with most is keeping track of where the Red Sox are placed in the American League East division. I drew up a kind of AL East summary page to try to see how they are sitting within the group, but I feel like it’s still too busy as a visual snapshot… I might have to tweak it and see if I can simplify it some more. Originally I thought of the five teams going vertical, but it got a little Tetris-y.
AL East summary page – it needs some work to clarify it more I think. Maybe go vertical instead of across the page after all?
Any ideas for improving my notes would be appreciated and I would love to see your team notes if you keep them!:)
Cheers.
