Score Sheets for All 30 Teams

If you want scoresheets filled in with suggested line-ups for all 30 MLB teams, click here. Once you open it, you can change the numbers in the line-ups to the order you would like and resort before printing this out. The second sheet on the google lists all players in alphabetical order by team.

I like to play two game series, so when printing I print across landscape defining to the end of the second half of at bats. However, you can just define from the end of the "5th at bat" column and then print portrait to have one game Scoresheets. I do also continue in my same column into the next inning with a line under the last batter, but if you want to score with each column being a new inning you could delete the column for the line-up for 2nd game and have each column be an inning.

Background

At the outset of the season I put together the table in this blog of each team's current alphabetical roster, and I've now played all 30 teams in at least one 2-game series, so I have the line-ups I use. In the line-up column;

1-9 indicates that is where I hit him in the line-up against right handed pitching,

10-19 indicates a back-up but any number other than 10 indicates I platoon the player hitting against left-handed pitching at that spot (so "15" means bats 5th against lefties) and I always make starting catchers rest on of two games unless they played at least 120 games.

21-29 indicates relief pitchers, who I only allow to pitch one inning and if they come in during an inning I start to reduce their PB by 1 every batter after the 4th batter face. Each reliever can only pitch once every two game series (all my games are 2-game series).

31-34 indicates my four man rotation in order, while 35 indicates a reliever who can start or can pitch long relief and can pitch with normal rules on stamina running out. In my two game series I pitch either the 31 and 34 or 32 and 33 so that if the teams have not played the same number of series one is not at a disadvantage.

41 means they are injured or suspended, but I still use those players. However, 51 meant they were out for the season or at least until August and in those cases I do not use them in my game.

The one additional step I just took is to go ahead and do a line-up sheet to use in each game with the line-up already in order - and I put one for each team on this google sheet. If you believe the line-ups I use are pretty close to what you would use, or if you want to type new numbers in the line-up field to resort and print your own, this just saves a step and you are set up for a 2-game series, or one of you want.

Since I calculated my Clutch Defense figures from 1 to 5 at the end of last season with a pretty comprehensive process, I already had them on a spreadsheet so I like having them right there to reference when a play happens, but this is not to say you should convert the Advanced Statis-Pro cards, just something I left on the sheet.

BTW, the NL is winning my inter league games by a 2-to-1 margin. I did start them all in NL parks so the pitchers have been hitting, but I now have the NL with 44 wins and AL with 22 wins. Clearly the two leagues have not gotten that lopsided, but I do believe the NL finally caught the AL the last couple of years after a long dry spell.
