I’m at the Mariners-Sox game right now (and they’re conferring on the mound, so I’m taking the time to talk to all of you).

On the scoreboard after R H and E is MVR. You may already know this, but it’s the first game I’ve been to this year and I’m not up to speed on the new rules.

So I wanted to let you all know what MVR is, in case it comes up in trivia: Mound Visits Remaining.

Now I know. And knowing’s half the battle.

I know I probably would have been wondering about this the next time I saw a game.

A guy one row up and three seats over was scoring the game, so I knew he would know what it meant, but I hesitated to ask him because he was one of those rabid fans who screams derogatory stuff at our own players all game. Sox fans can be harsh when we’re* 5-16 and down 4-3 in the 9th. I felt like positive affirmation may be more effective. “I STILL LOVE YOU, TIM!” “YOU CAN DO IT, OMAR!” “ALL 138 OF US ARE STILL HERE. DON’T STOP BELIEVING!” * Yes, “we.” I’ve spent enough money on the Sox to finance AT LEAST a AA outfielder.

Newer little league ballfield scoreboards will often have a P or PC. It's funny when folks can't figure out what that is even when it increments by one after every pitch.

I've been to a bunch of ball games. When I saw that MVR I asked the two guys with me if they knew what it meant, then texted a few trivia types, to make sure that I wasn't posting something really stupid on here. That said, after I knew what it meant, I noticed that the numbers did not, in fact, change after a visit to the mound. So I looked it up for all of you: Each team has six mound visits by a manager, pitching coach, or teammate over a 9-inning game and an additional visit per extra inning. It doesn't count during a pitching change. The umpires can award extra mound visits willy-nilly, much like extra time in soccer. It doesn't seem to have sped up the game at all. Mariners had 5 and the Sox had 4 by the end of the game, which lasted about 3 hours. GYPSY "Umpires can award additional visits by the catcher if his signals with the pitcher get crossed up. Those will be granted on the request of the catcher on a case-by-case basis." (The Baltimore Sun. "On Opening Day, know your MVR," Encina, Eduardo A., March 29, 2018.) ** I do not understand soccer.
