Amazin' Avenue Refresh
By now I'm sure you see the visual refresh that was implemented here (and across SB Nation) this morning. It's not a comprehensive redesign, but the look of the site has been tightened up, some fonts tweaked, some white space eliminated, and a few other minor layout changes put in place. The main...
New BtB Software Features: Mobile Commenting & Twitter Sharing
Well, the SB Nation tech wizards are at it again, enabling mobile commenting on all blogs. I don't use a mobile device myself, but I'm guessing you just comment like you would on a "real" computer. I apologize to your bosses in advance for your productivity losses at work. I also now expect lots...
Looking For New Site Ideas and Contributors
BtB has grown a lot over the past year, and I'm hoping that trend will continue. We're always looking to add new features -- and not just original research -- but it can be difficult to nail down the great ideas or identify folks with the skill sets to do crazy new things. I'm sure there are a...
Sunday Night Game Thread #2: Phillies @ Dodgers
Reminder: This is tonight. Game thread should be open by 7pm EDT. Last week's game thread garnered over 150 comments, pretty good for a first effort. There seems to be enough of a push that we're going to try it again this Sunday, as the Phillies travel to Los Angeles to play the Dodgers. Reader...

We're Having a Sunday Night Game Thread Party
Bumping this as a reminder... On Sunday night, ESPN is televising the Dodgers-Cubs game at 8:05 EDT. Sure, their announcers can be annoying, but these are two very good teams and we're all going to watch anyway. So why not get together and talk baseball, game thread style? We can comment on the...
A Note to Lurkers
Do you read Beyond the Box Score, but aren't a member? No problem, that's cool. But there's more to being a member than commenting, and it's surprisingly easy to sign up, since we accept already-existing Yahoo IDs and Open IDs. What are those additional benefits? The number of new comments...
Live Chat With Harry About Pitch F/X: Friday at 1pm EDT
Bumped: Yup, the chat's today. Get pumped and spread the word. Do you want to understand pitch f/x graphs better? Do you want to make your own? Do you want to know how reliable the data is and what cool information we can get from it down the road? If you have any interest at all in Pitch f/x...
