Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

* Arrive at the ballpark no later than one hour prior to the scheduled start time;
* Double-check and verify all pre-game information: rosters, umpires, weather conditions, etc.;
* During the game, enter the results of every pitch and game event (plays, substitutions, etc.) using our proprietary software and coding language;
* Work closely with our game-night support staff (via AOL Instant Messenger) to ensure proper scoring of all game events and accuracy of data;
* After the game, enter all post-game information: winning and losing pitcher, saves, holds, time and attendance
* Validate all stats in software box score against the official box score provided by the Official Scorer, and print out a final box score and game text for the club PR staff

Qualifications include:

* Previous experience (including pressbox exposure) with a professional or college sports team, preferably baseball;
* Exceptional (and demonstrable) knowledge of baseball and how to score a baseball game;
* Strong computer proficiency (Windows OS and Windows-based software) and the ability to quickly learn and operate new software;
* Regular availability to attend games in-person as required by the schedule: weekdays, nights and weekends;
* A "team player" with a great attitude, including but not limited to a willingness to make and learn from mistakes and the ability to work closely and cooperatively (and take direction from) our game-night staff;
* Professionalism. It's a fun job and we pay people to watch baseball, but it's also an important job and we want people who will take the responsibility seriously.

If I wasn't busy being a neurosurgeon, I would totally jump on this.

It’s still funny.

Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?

Always will be.

i’m still bitter that twilight lost out. if we were making suggestions right now, i’d try to stick you with a shirtless picture of taylor lautner.

If you don't respect Aaron Laffey, I will fight you.

My friends went to see that movie and one time he came on screen with a shirt on and one of them shouts: “WHY IS HE WEARING A SHIRT?” I think I maybe could have handled that movie just for that. Maybe.

One day you’ll look back on this and grimace.

I don’t know why. Someone who enjoys looking at shirtless men isn’t likely to lose that taste.

It’s the Twilight angle.

For the record I hate Twilight. But that comment would have been so funny too hear in person.

I’m thinking people didn’t understand the original comment. But this funny anyway.

Man that’s an awesome opportunity. Too bad I’ll be in class during enough of our games that qualification 4 would go out the window.

This job is posted every offseason. Either they hire five or six people to do it, or it’s not as fun as it sounds.

by Voltaire on Dec 3, 2009 2:38 AM EST reply actions  

From another message board where I first saw this posted:

This is not an easy job. There are a lot of codes to learn and remember, and you need to input them very quickly. Especially at first, you will feel the games moving much more quickly than you think they do.

It is at times very stressful, and not for everyone. But it is also perhaps the most fun job you will ever have.

So.. yeah. It does sound interesting, but it sounds more involved than what you might get back out of it financially or otherwise.

*sigh*

Also posted on BP. MLB.com is hiring stats stringers in several other cities too.

I mean if you treat it like a job and not pure recreation, then I am sure it is not too difficult.

by Roger Dorn on Dec 3, 2009 11:38 AM EST up reply actions  

I’m pretty sure I applied for it years ago.

I’ve applied for this job several years in a row.

Wait, are you really a neurosurgeon?

by afh4 on Dec 3, 2009 11:48 AM EST reply actions  

Amateur neurosurgeon. On patients whose consents are less than robust. Or at least that’s what ClemsonGirl reports the word among the street urchins to be. The urchins scurry in fear when Toxicadam’s cloaked presence is felt in London’s fog-shrouded alleys.

Just keeping those poor children safe.

Is the casual visitor just now stumbling across LGT and reading the comments to this post going to think we’ve all gone mad? More importantly, have we? Is this what non-contending baseball reduces a man—or woman—to?

No, not you. Your helmet!

What’s the going salary?

In the new Geico commercial, Marte sings "Let me be myself" on Wedge's front lawn (with the cavemen).
