Well, since you asked (
), here are the best places to go for help:
How to Play - This is the official "How to Play" page at the ESPN site. It would probably be most helpful, because you don't have to worry about Plaw (or me) being too wordy with details.
BBC 2005 - This link shows when I first joined last season. Scroll down to the last couple of posts, and you'll see where Plaw gives a nice overview of the game with useful tips and information.
BBC 2006 - This is the thread for this year, of course. You can ask any questions there or here.
Like it says at the ESPN site, this is how the scoring works:
Individual Batters: Run, Total Base, RBI, Walk, Stolen Base = +1
Pitching Staff: IP = +3, ER = -3, Hit = -1, BB = -1, K = +1, Win = +5
Pretty simple, really. You'll learn other strategies involving doubleheaders, rainouts, injuries, and so on, as you go along - the general playing of the game isn't very difficult.
