Admittedly, this is out of place here. Apologies, but it's bearing is that in omitting this, a real opportunity is being missed in the pbp. I hope we can include and focus on this area during the v10 beta process.

One of the elements, I think, we're really missing in the commentary is the occasional - I wouldn't mind seeing it very frequently, if it were me - wrap up of player performance in the game thus far, aside from the "he's gone 1 for 4 today with a walk."

I like the idea of including a more expanded look at that performance, e.g. "Benson's walked once today, grounded out twice, and hit a deep one to right that would have cleared the wall if not for Davidson's outstanding leap." I know that's a bit ambitious, but if we're going to focus on improvement, let's focus on expanding what works well already in a text sim: the text.
