This call is correct. In scenario (b) while the bobble has no effect, the fake may have and in the umpire judgement if the fake is considered a play then that is considered the first play and the throw to DBT would be at the time of the throw thus awarding runners the bases at that time - home and second. in scenario (c) if both the BR and runner on base achieve a base prior ro the release then they are awarded two bases at the time of the throw - home nad third.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-34161266611101817102013-04-21T20:10:15.657-07:002013-04-21T20:10:15.657-07:00RadioPearl

Therefore, Miller is correct (although slightly confusing by using the term "one extra base" since the award is two bases from the time of the pitch.)<br /><br />b) 7.05(g) Comment-Approved Ruling indicates awards on an overthrow are determined by the batter-runner's position at the time of the throw. If the B-R has not yet reached 1B, the award is two bases from the time of the pitch for all runners. Therefore, the result is the same as (a), runners on 2nd & 3rd.<br /><br /><br />c) Since all runners including the B-R had reached the next base at the time of the throw, the award will be based on runners' positions at the time of the throw. Therefore, the B-R is awarded 3B and R1 is awarded home.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-39510043179110409422013-04-21T19:41:37.004-07:002013-04-21T19:41:37.004-07:00It is the first play by an infielder, the award is...It is the first play by an infielder, the award is two bases from where the runners were at the time of the pitch.<br />a) neither is correct, R1 is awarded 3rd base and the batter-runner is awarded 2nd base.<br />b) R1 is awarded home and the batter-runner is awarded 2nd base.

The Batter-Runner would be awarded 2nd and the baserunner on 1st would be awarded 3rd. <br /><br />(b) Since F6 initially tried to fake the runner back to 2nd, that is considered a play. Now the base runners are entitled to 2 bases from the time of the throw since the throw to first would be the 2nd play. The base runner from 1st had already attained 2nd so he would be awarded home and since the batter runner had not yet attained 1st on the time of throw, he would be award 2nd.<br /><br />(c) My answer remains the same from part (a). Since F6 fielded the ball cleanly and threw the ball to first (making it the first play) both the batter runner and the base runner would be awarded 2 bases from time of pitch, which would be runners now on 2nd and 3rd.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-71000919384519988242013-04-21T14:19:14.952-07:002013-04-21T14:19:14.952-07:00A) Neither broadcaster is explicitly correct. Whil...A) Neither broadcaster is explicitly correct. While R1 had advanced his one base, the BR had not yet satisfied the conditions to apply 7.05g's Approved Ruling. Revert to the standard award for an infielder's fist play and advance each runner two bases from time of the pitch. R1 to 3B, BR to 2B. <br /><br />B) MLBUM 5.1 explicitly states a fake to throw shall not be considered a play. Thus, when he throws to 1B, it is still his first play. R1 to 3B, BR to 2B [same as A)]<br /><br />C) 7.05g AR referenced above would apply here, as each runner including the BR has advanced one base at the time of the throw. Even though this is Play 1 by an infielder, base awards revert, per the AR, to time of throw. R1 scores, BR to 3B.<br /><br /><br /><br />-ump_24Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-50201489648552008232013-04-21T02:02:20.721-07:002013-04-21T02:02:20.721-07:00To clarify, since the fielder has released the bal...To clarify, since the fielder has released the ball before BOTH runners have advance a base, the base awards are 2 bases from the time of pitch, R1 gets 3rd and R2 gets 2nd.

Brandon Crawford short stop fields the ball and on the throw to first over throws the first baseman. In this exchange according to rule 7.05 g allows that if the fielder Crawford over throws a ball and cast it into the stands on his first plan right after the ball is hit, the base runner is only entitled to two bases from where he was at when the ball hit by the batter runner.<br /><br /><br />As for B and C I believe 7.05 g still applies, and it is still the same type of transcript.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-48778538805488152972013-04-20T18:31:33.933-07:002013-04-20T18:31:33.933-07:00If the ball is thrown out of play from a fielder, ...If the ball is thrown out of play from a fielder, everyone gets two bases FROM THE TIME OF THE PITCH.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-67136551858318692392013-04-20T14:57:02.399-07:002013-04-20T14:57:02.399-07:00a) I'm a rookie at this, but in the rules it s...a) I'm a rookie at this, but in the rules it states this "Since no runner, when the ball is dead, may advance beyond the base to which he is entitled, the runner originally on first base goes to third base and the batter is held at second. So technically neither was correct. When the ball goes into the dugout and is "dead" the runners appear to be placed correctly.<br /><br /><br />b) My answer would be the same because the runner is standing on second (or at least hypothetically) and therefore he would advance to the base he was entitled, third base.<br /><br /><br />c) I'm not seeing a whole lot of difference between your B and C scenarios. Prince would be standing on second base in both scenarios (well hypothetically in scenario B), therefore would be awarded third and B1, awarded second base. <br /><br /><br />Again, I'm a little bit of a rookie in interpreting the rules section of MLB, but that's how I would see it.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-31727342950434912332013-04-20T13:00:43.133-07:002013-04-20T13:00:43.133-07:00Neither is fully correct, per 7.05(G).

R1 is awarded third base, while BR is awarded second base.<br /><br />Because F6’s first defensive action is to bobble the baseball, the errant throw would count as his<br />second action. This would invoke the action of runners being awarded bases from the time of the throw. Two bases are awarded; in this scenario, R1 is located on second base, and would be granted the ability to score. The BR would be granted second base. <br /><br /><br /><br />Because BR had already obtained first base, under 7.05(PLAY) R1 at second is granted home on the overthrow.

(Miller is more correct than Schroeder, until he adds " so he only gets the one extra base no matter where he actually was.")<br /><br />The correct transcript would have included the wording from 7.05g "When such wild throw is the first play by an infielder, the umpire, in awarding such bases, shall be governed by the position of the runners at the time the ball was pitched," <br />Play resumes with runners at 2nd & 3rd.<br /><br />b. A fake is not considered a play, so the wild throw is still the first "play" by the infielder. <br /><br />Per the MLBUM - a Play or Attempted play is a legitimate effort by a defensive player with posession of the ball to actually retire a runner. <br />Not a Play or Attempted Play: (1) a fake or feint to a base but not actually throwing; also (4) Ruling covers a play similar to scenario "b" which states a feint to home and wild throw to 1st is still the first play by an infielder.<br /><br />My answer for scenario "a" remains the same. Play resumes with runners on 2nd & 3rd. <br /><br />c. In this scenario, 7.05g APPROVED RULING governs: "APPROVED RULING: If all runners, including the batter-runner, have advanced at least one base when an infielder makes a wild throw on the first play after the pitch, the award shall be governed by the position of the runners when the wild throw was made."<br />All runners, including the batter-runner, had advanced one base.
