WGN-TV, you have real problems with your scorebox

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote this article about the scoreboxes used by both WGN-TV and NBC Sports Chicago on their Cubs broadcasts, and how they both needed to make some tweaks.

NBC Sports Chicago did make the change I noted, which was switching “CHC” to “CUBS” in the box, as they had done in previous years.

WGN... I hate to say this to the station that has carried Cubs games for 70 years, but man, you guys have messed your scorebox up completely.

For reference, here is the scorebox WGN-TV used last year (and for several years before that):

That’s easy to read, has all the useful information anyone would need (the pitch count disappears briefly after every pitch for the pitch speed), and it’s positioned well on the screen.
