Shutout ? Sacrifice Hits ? SFs already appear and only pitchers can sac bunt so it seems a bit moot.

I want to know what eom means. IMO = In My Opinion EOM = Entirely Open Mind? #confused

haha! I know eom means End Of Message, some people put it in the subject line of e-mails to save you 2 seconds of opening a blank message.

I was thinking "sacrifice hits" as well, but a sacrifice of any kind is not gonna be a hit, so that can't be right.

GIDP and CS are included in the boxes. Sac Flies are too. So, seems to me, Sac hits should be too.

For example, in a game like this:

The pitcher's spot for the New York side shows only a walk and a hit.

doggone it turtle. are you just trying to make me look through this box score so you can giggle about it?

i mean, it got a hit, it drew a walk, it laid down a sacrifice bunt (i started to say, just a bunt, because the pitchers, and only the pitchers, sacrifice, which, if you must have pitchers hitting and you must have the sacrifice, these two things should go together, like dog and shit) a commendable play by a pitcher. it even scored a run.

(if it had just drawn a walk instead of that hit, it would be like, i don't know, twice as awesome acuz the walk is so shiny awesome.)

now what do you want the box score to say? what the hell is a sacrifice hit?

If this happens, we will then need to make the HR's appear in bold print. Because that's really what matters.

maybe when a pitcher fails at bunting and then hits a single, he sacrificed his bunt attempt and got a hit, so, boom, sacrifice hit.

Maybe I am missing some of the jokes here...but this is the play:

* Fred Beasley lays down a bunt to the first baseman. He is thrown out at first with the second baseman covering the bag. Runners advance.

So put it in the box score as SH: Beasley.

oh i see, a sacrifice bunt. never heard it called a sacrifice hit before.

i suppose to keep things official, it should be in there, but it would just be another thing that I totally ignore. might add a little more to it if there was a league leaders page on it too, but I still wouldn't be on board.

i ah, got that part. nobody ever called it a sacrifice hit before because its a sacrifice BUNT. sacrifice bunts have never been shown in box scores because giving your out away by way of the bunt is not noteworthy. it isn't difficult.

the MLB rules use "Sacrifice Bunt" and "Sacrifice Hit" interchangeably . Sac Bunts were officially recorded until 1940. They couldn't call it a Sac Bunt in the box score because "SB" was already taken by Stolen Base, so it appears in box scores as "SH". Now I think they use "SAC" in boxscores.

If I recall correctly it is just "S" in boxscores.

And here I thought the S stood for suck. All these years I thought the names after the "S" sucked, when if fact they were just bunting runners over! Ah, wait a minute...I guess that means they do suck.

in little league, we used to write down SG for "sacrifice grounder" (when somebody hit a ground ball and advanced the runner and got out their ownself). we did that just to make the coach mad. because we were bad children.
