I like to have the games playing while I do other stuff. Anyway, it makes it confusing, at a glance, on what part of the inning I am in. Either it's the bottom of the 5th because I see numbers in the top of the 5th slot, or its the top of the 5th and I have to assume the away team has scored.

Can it either be always a number in the current half of the inning, or never a number in the current half of an inning?
This is how baseball scoreboards operate, dating back to the days of the hand operated ones where adding a number was a non trivial task and so you only put up the zero after the team had clinched that it would not score that inning.
