A few suggestions: Weather is shown only at the end of the game, in the game recap/boxscore. Since it affects the game performance, it'd be nice to know it at the beginning of the game. Foul outs are not shown in the pitch-by-pitch, along with walks and strikes. If the batter changes after a foul ball, you must move your eyes and look at the batter-by-batter line to figure it was a foul out. Foul outs are only awarded to Catchers. IRL, that's a pretty rare instance. 1b and 3b (and sometimes even 2b and SS) are responsible for most of foul outs. It'd be nice to know what side HRs are hit, just like hits and fly-outs. It'd be nice to have 3rd strike describe as "looking" or "swinging".
