The outs graphic should have three dots, not two. Because there are three outs to an inning.

https://sixcolors.com/post/2014/10/fox-box/@tvaziri Honest Q from a designer who doesn’t watch baseball: how long would all three dots be “active” on a graphic like that?

https://sixcolors.com/post/2014/10/fox-box/@tvaziri This kind of thing shows up in board games a lot, and when the final, arguably unnecessary space is present (to place your cube on or whatever) the rules forums inevitably get questions from people who don’t understand why it’s there (“if the game is over when you get 8 fleebs, why is there an 8th fleeb spot??”)
That is a bit different from baseball where arguably “three outs” is a weird purgatory state the game can be in (until the next half inning starts), but I figured I’d mention.

https://sixcolors.com/post/2014/10/fox-box/Why is having two dots wrong? Because there are three outs to an inning. I mean, why have TWO GREY DOTS when there are zero outs? Even after the third out, Netflix doesn't change the graphic - it remains as TWO DOTS.
How Netflix shows how many outs there are:

@tvaziri This is a terrible rationale, but I am willing to put a dollar on a designer who doesn’t watch sports deciding it made sense because the third out marks the change of innings, so, not too unlike a clock that changes from 23:59:59 to 00:00:00.
But then with two dots you have all the confusion issues you describe. It’s why you don’t call a ‘cart’ (or ‘basket’) a ‘schlarffledinger’ on an ecommerce site. Just do what people expect.

@tvaziri …and on top of that they hid the score bug all the time. Was that ball two or ball three? Who knows! The score bug is gone!
…and they also missed the first ABS challenge in MLB history because they cut away to an interview.
All around I thought the Netflix broadcast was not great.

THANK YOUI'm not even really a baseball fan, and the 2 dots thing offends me deeply
