baseball abbreviations

[frequeniquity]

i was at the astros game tonight and i noticed on the scoreboard the abbreviation "LG". It was R H E LG. this would be runs, hits, errors, and what? ive been a baseball fan all of may life and i can't figure out what it means. anybody have any idea?

i looked it up on wikipedia but it wasn't listed in the baseball statistics section. its been killing me. i have to find out what it means.

What kinds of numbers were showing up under LG?

There's an LG in SLG, but I have no idea why the scoreboard would be tracking team slugging percentages ...

I hate baseball abbreviations. I also don't understand the need for all the stats they keep, like slugging percentage. *shakes head*

Could it have been LO and some broken lights? Some scoreboards have been showing left on base numbers.

That is the list and nothing for LG

only thing close is SLG - Slugging Percentage or LOB - Left On Base

Was it possibly an advertisement for LG

... noticed on the scoreboard the abbreviation "LG".

Only thing that comes to mind is "league."

LG means league- commonly used for minor league level. What was displayed in the box?

well i spoke to a friend of mine who coincidentally enough went to the game today and he assured me that it read LO not LG. it must mean left-on, as in left-on-base.
