Wrong, but close

Re: Baseball rules trivia

Tylerin, that is a stumper. I am thinking the runner is out, cause he is touched by a live ball.<br /><br />I still dont understand why on the third strike the batter can run if it is a foul tip? Or something like that.<br /><br />Ken

Re: Baseball rules trivia

The batter can run on the third strike if the catcher drops the ball and first base in unoccupied. A foul tip on the third strike is an out if the catcher catches it, and a foul ball if he doesn't catch it.<br /><br />Ty, is it a balk?

Re: Baseball rules trivia

Ken its simple, "foul tip" that's "caught" on the third strike, the batters out. a third strike that isn't tipped and is not caught by the catcher the player can advance to first He can be quickly tagged out by the catcher or put out at first as long as first base isn't occupied. If first is occupied he's out unless there's 2 outs then he must be tagged or thrown out. Jeez!! that is confusing. Bases loaded 2 outs and a dropped third strike catcher can step on home plate for the third out

Re: Baseball rules trivia

Catchers balk Gauge, all runners advance one base. Catchers interference is when a batter while swinging touches the glove of the catcher. Batter gets first base and all runners advance one base

Re: Baseball rules trivia

Man standing on second base..a sharp line drive hits him while still on the base..... safe or out?

Re: Baseball rules trivia

Too easy Mike, I'll let someone else answer that one.<br /><br />Runner on second, sharp liner to the SS, deflects off the SS's glove, hits the runners helmet who was on his way to 3rd, and then the SS catches the ball after the deflection. He then touches second base. Is the runner out, is the batter out?

Safe

Re: Baseball rules trivia

Who is safe?

Re: Baseball rules trivia

Runners advancing is safe

Re: Baseball rules trivia

What about the batter?

 

[tylerin]

Re: Baseball rules trivia

I'm thinking him as well

Re: Baseball rules trivia

Very good, safe at 1st and 3rd, and Billy Martin is screaming at the umpire

Re: Baseball rules trivia

Man at third long fly ball outfielder touches the ball but bobbles it in the air as its coming down the man on third takes off. A moment later the outfielder catches the ball and throws to third for not tagging up.. Safe or out??

Re: Baseball rules trivia

I would say the runner has to tag up until the fielder has possesion of the ball, out at third.

Re: Baseball rules trivia

Why is it called a "foul pole" if the ball hits it, it is a fair ball-home run

Re: Baseball rules trivia

If the ball never touched the ground, the runner is out, if he did not tag up. The ball is considered in the while the fielder is bobbling it, therefore when he gets control and possesion, he has caught it on the fly.

Re: Baseball rules trivia

Wrong Capt once the ball is "touched" the runner can advance. Rule imposed at the turn of the century to detour fielders from bobbling the ball all the way into the infield purposely

Re: Baseball rules trivia

DOH, you mean they just imposed that rule in 2001? Welcome to the 21st century Tylerin
