I want a realtime baseball scoreboard on the web
Monday, October 26, 2015 by Dave Winer

I wish there were a web page for MLB that had all the readouts of the scoreboards at a baseball stadium, arrayed so I could quickly glance to look at:

  1. The batting orders of both teams with a red dot next to the guy who's at bat (offense) and the guy who's up next (defense).
  2. A little box with the current pitcher, how many pitches thrown, strikeouts, walks, hits.
  3. In the middle the stats on the current batter. His picture. Really big type.
  4. At the bottom the box score, inning by inning.
  5. Look around the ballpark for other stats that are given permanent space.
  6. The key thing is this is fixed, realtime, it's a page I'd put on my iPad and keep in my lap while watching the game. I'd even bring it to the game with me.
And go ahead and put some ads on the page. Beer, car dealers, whatever you like. Ads and baseball go together. But nothing creepy. No lung cancer meds plese.
