They are pretty easy to calculate in your head with some practice.  I do it
this way.

First a base score using the number of innings pitch.

4 = 62
5 = 67
6 = 72
7 = 77
8 = 82
9 = 87

The pattern is that even innings end in 2 and odd end in 7.  Its easy to
remember 7 = 77.

Add one point for each out beyond the number of innings.   So 7.2 = 77 + 2
79.

Add one point per strikeout

Subtract one per walk

Subtract 2 * number of hits

Add R and ER multiply by 2 and subtract the result.

So Dempster yesterday:

7 = 77
8K = 8 + 77 = 85
1BB = 85 - 1 = 84
5H =  85 - 10 = 75
4R + 2ER = 6*2, so 75 - 12 = 62.

This is a score that should have won the game.  But Diamond was 7, 3, 0, 0,
0 2.  Left as an exercise to the reader.
