Unless this can be explained however, I won't be able to! :?

The 5 represents pitch count I believe. It does not represent dice roll column.

Scumby is correct. "5" is pitch count. The mystery card game does not give you the dice roll nor the column. That would make it far too easy to determine which season you have.

Thats funny! I showed you guys something. Go to "watch this game" then hit "play by play" you will see a roll of 1,2,3,4,5,or 6. Thats how you can tell. :lol:

Look closely. The column in the "play-by-play" tab you are referring to frequently has the number "7" in it. Look at some other games. It's the pitch count. (Though it does appear that no one in HAL's world can take the count past 7.)

Yes. You are correct. that has to be the column number. The answer to the original question remains a mystery.

If it is the column number then what does the 7 mean? I am currently doing my first mystery league and I thought it was the column number at first but couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation for seeing a 7 there.

The number you are referring to as the "column number" is the pitch count for that at bat. If you add all those numbers up for each pitcher it will equal that pitcher's PC number for the game. IF it was the column number it would take a lot of the "mystery" out of the Mystery game! :D
