Several fans and members of the media pointed out that the location of the balls, strikes, and outs (B/S/O) should be shown on the ribbon board behind home plate, besides its current location along the ribbon board behind the foul poles. As you know, we have sold all rights to the ribbon board to several sponsors including the Daily News, Pepsi, and Boar's Head. Fans should consider themselves lucky that we are able to display the current game information that we do on the ribbon board. In fact, we have to pay each of those sponsors a fee to display non-advertising next to their advertisements on the ribbon board.
While I sort of understand the reasoning behind putting B/S/O behind home plate, it is in the natural field of vision for most fans. As such, it is prominent real-estate for our sponsors and I cannot allow it to be desecrated with game info you can already find elsewhere. But as a compromise, we have moved the B/S/O to the bottom right corner of the large HD scoreboard in centerfield.
