What do those letters mean?

Question

sorry dumb question, but im australian and just getting into watching baseball on espn (go angels) there's a little box that comes up with r.h.and e as colomn headers,, r is runs? but what do the others mean????

Answer 1

H is total hits

and e the the amount of errors the team committed

Answer 2

R- Runs

H- Hits

E- Errors

Errors are bad plays made by the team. Sort of when the shortstop throws the ball to the first baseman, but he doesn't catch it.

Answer 3

R is runs, H is for hits, and E is for errors. There are other signs that you may need to get familiar with also.  BB is base on balls, or walk, K is a strikeout swinging, a backwards K is a strike out looking, HR is a home run, F# is a flyout to that numbered position.  There are more, but those are a few key ones.  Errors are any time a ball is hit in fair territory that is dropped or thrown away, that ends in a runner advancing to the next base, that he wouldn't have if the ball wasn't dropped or thrown away.

Answer 4

Runs Hits Errors

Answer 5

R is runs.

H is hits.

E is errors.

To answer your second question, errors are fielding mistakes that the team playing defense makes. For example, if a player drops a pop-up, that is considered an error, because that's a play he's supposed to make. Normally errors don't go higher than 2 in a game for one team.

Answer 6

E- errors committed

Answer 10

R= Runs

H= Hits

E= Errors committed by that team.

In stadiums, occasionally the teams will also list LOB, which is runners left on base by that team.

And I only live 10 minutes away from Anaheim. I'm closer than you =p Haha

GO ANGELS!!

An error is when the defensive team (the team not at bat) makes some sort of mistake that allows a baserunner to advance an EXTRA base, or at least one base more than the baserunner would've advanced if the defensive player hadn't made the mistake. Errors include a player dropping a flyball, air-mailing a throw allowing a guy to reach base, an infielder just completely missing a ground ball that he clearly should've been able to handle cleanly, or a passed ball (similar to a wild pitch: when the pitcher throws a pitch and the ball gets past the catcher far enough to allow a baserunner to advance. However, in a passed ball, it's a ball that the catcher allows to get by him that he should've handled. In both wild pitches and passed balls, they are only called if a baserunner is allowed to advance on the mistake.)

Answer 11

Runs

Hits

Errors

Answer 12

"H" means hits and "E" means errors and I live 20 minutes away from Anaheim so yes, go Angels.

Answer 13

r= runs e = errors h= hits, runs are when someone scores, errors are when someone drops, misses, makes a bad throw or does a bone head play and hits are when someone hits the ball where the fielders aren't :)
