"and scored [%batting r word] times"
Would say "scored 10 Runs times"

1666
"In [%month previous] [%personlink] picked up Rookie of the Month in the [%subleaguename]"
Should be "the Rookie of the Month"

1679
"and [%batting rbi]RBIs."
No space between [rbi] and RBIs

1690
"The [%playerposition] for the [%teamlink nick] batted [%batting avg], drilled [%batting ebh], including [%batting d word] and [%batting hr word]. "
No reference to what he "drilled"

1814
"He tagged [%batting h word] "
Lots of spaces between "He" and "tagged"?

4578
"The object of the batter is to \"hit \'em "
Should be "objective", but better would be "The batter's objective is to"

1512
"Selected #1 Rookie of Month in "
Are there 2 rookies of the month, but he's better?
Also missing "the" which I didn't catch before I pasted it in here... I'm slackin.

4684
"Biggest Votegetter is "
2 words, Vote getter

1634
1641
"a [%pitching w]-[%pitching l word] record . "
This would say "20-2 loss record" How negative!

1637
"After posting [%pitching w word] in [%pitching gs] in [%month previous]"
No reference to what [gs] is. "posting 1 win in 5 in March"

2187
"That how [%subleaguename] batters felt when"
Should be "That's how"

2188
"[%personlink] takes the hill with an uncharacteristic poise for a man of so few years"
Should just be "takes the hill with uncharacteristic poise"

2192
"fanning [%pitching k word] "
Redundancy again, would say "fanning 5 Ks"

4538
"He held opposition hitters to a [%pitching avg] team batting average, "
Should be "he held opposing hitters to"

4539
"gave up [%pitching ha] basehits, "
2 words, base hits

4541

"a record of [%pitching w word] and [%pitching l word] "
There's usually not [...word] when what it is is referenced. This would say "a record of 5 wins and 5 losses" But normally we see "a record of 5-5"

4542
"worked [%pitching ip] innings, permited [%pitching ha] hits"
Spelling, permitted

1560
4735
"[%teamname] Pitcher [%personname F L] Reels in SION Monthly Rookie Award in [%subleaguename]"
SION should be possessive, SION's

1573
"Pitcher [%personname L] of [%teamname] Elected Top SION Rookie in [%subleaguename]"
A rookie sportswriter? Thought this award went to baseball players. Should be "SION's Top Rookie"

1740
"[%batting r] scored "
What's been scored?

1744
"He tagged [%batting h word] in [%batting ab word] for a [%batting avg] for "
No reference to what [avg] is

4620
"To these impressive hitting stats, the league\'s top freshman also produced [%batting rbi] RBIs"
This should be "also added [rbi]"

4626
"with [%batting h] hits with [%batting ebh word], that included [%batting hr word] and [%batting d word]. "
Tough to read. I'd change it to "with [h] hits. [ebh] of those for extra bases including [hr word] and [d word]." Just too many "with"s

4641
"driving in [%batting rbi] rbis "
Redundancy again. "driving in 20 rbi's" Plus "rbis" wasn't capitalized.

4642
"He burned them for [%batting h] base hits in [%batting pa word], including [%batting ebh word] among them. "
Redundancy. "including [ebh word]" is far enough.

180 pages of xml left. That should be good for at least another 2 sleepless nights for RBL. Seriously though, I'm sure it's not taking me nearly as long to read it as you guys spent writing it.
