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

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.

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?

That would just be another, more advanced game. Sabermetrics, or rather, the intelligent use of sabermetrics, is the only way baseball can evolve. Baseball prides itself in its ability to confront with its own past, thanks to the insane amount of statistics ammassed since the 1850's. These stats changed and evolved through the years. I mean, strikeouts didn't become official in the NL until 1910. The hate that sabermetrics is taking from the lovers of "good ole simple baseball instincts" is as gross as the blindness of those who think that it can explain everything, from baseball to rocket science.

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.

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.

Shouldn't "on base percentage plus slugging" be accepted for OPS? I added the "percentage" in and didn't get it.

The only possible thing I could think of for PO was pitcher only.. this is a very common thing to hear people talk about, especially in lower levels of play such as high school and college.

TB can also stand for Tampa Bay. We've got NL included for National League. So it's clear that we're not just after in-game statistical abbreviations.
