RISP should work for Runner in Scoring Position. Doesn't have to be more than one. PO can also be Picked off.

Or Pop Out

usually that's just P. Like a pop out to 2nd would be a P4, a pop out to the pitcher would be a P1, etc.

PO is definitely just putout.

I believe that a pick-off is supposed to go down as PK in an actual scorebook, but in virtually all box scores -including those on MLB.com- it is designated as "PO". With the broad title of the quiz and no instruction limiting to scorekeeping/scorebook abbreviations, pick off should be accepted.

That seems silly. We shouldn't evolve and make use of the data that is available to us through the use of technology?

I saw DH and looked at Jeter and typed in Designated Hero. I know Derek Jeter is not a DH too, so please don't hate on me.

But you are a Yankee, which means you are a Yankees fan, which means you should know where he plays

Should have been a DH. Rodriguez a much better shortstop.

Should have been. He was a below average shortstop.

Can OBP be modified slightly so that "On base percentage plus slugging percentage" works for OPS? Or "OBP plus slugging" -- I couldn't figure out that I needed to just say "on base plus slugging". Great quiz.
