Unless you're using some kind of modified rules that makes it less than a game (like setting up different situations), I don't really understand travel teams calling a game against another team with umpires a scrimmage.
Sometimes you scrimmage with each team getting 5 AB per inning. So you could have 5 outs or 5 hits then the other team get 5 ABs. Usually done when both teams are in the same org. and nobody wants to be blown out.

Yeah, that's just practice. I wouldn't count anything that happened there for statistical purposes, though I would use video of it for recruiting.

That’s my way of thinking too. If we play a handful of random weekday games, why score them as scrimmages??? Just because you might play them slightly different than your best 9 all game, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t count. Both teams are still trying to win.

I see the lineups the White Sox throw out there sometimes on “getaway” day. Those losses still count in the standings……

See, I KNEW the umpires were always on the other team!
