Oh, don't cry little Fergie Boy. You get another chance in June. And July & August & September. Perk up. The one in August is a four game series right there at Great American Ball Park!

Re: Are There Any BASEBALL Fans On The Forum?
No baseball in DC this year, not the way things have been going. I'm wondering how secure Martinez's job is? He studied under the mad man Maddon but I don't think the good qualities rubbed off on him, at least they are not showing so far. I've been to 1 game this season, usually by now I've been to 3 or 4. I went to games when they lost 100+ games in a season and still enjoyed going, mostly to see friends and family at the game. But winning puts fans in the seats!
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Austin Riley slams a two run homer today to put the Braves in front of the Tigers for good. They go on to win 10-5. With that homer, his eighth in 16 games he becomes only the fourth rookie in MLB history to have such a start.

Austin Riley strokes another 3 run Homer tonight and the Bravos take care of the Pirates 12-5. That's 9 home runs in his first 18 games. now that's some rarified air right there.

Re: Are There Any BASEBALL Fans On The Forum?
OK, MLB fans. There is a possible play that could happen in a baseball game where 4 outs would be recorded in an inning. To my knowledge it has not happened yet in MLB, but it is possible. Anyone have any ideas?
The bases are loaded with no one out. Batter hits a deep fly ball to the outfield. Runners on first and second don't believe the ball will be caught and advance. Runner on third thinks the ball will be caught, and goes back to tag up. Fielder catches fly ball, one out. He throws the ball back in to second base before the advancing runner can get back, second out. The ball is then thrown to first before that runner can get back, three outs. But the runner on third has tagged up and scored before the third out has been recorded. That run counts. But the defenders make an appeal play at third saying that the runner left third base before the outfielder caught the ball, and their appeal is upheld, meaning the run does not count because the runner from third is out, 4 outs.
Added Note:
It has been brought to my attention that once the third out is recorded, there can be no further activity in that inning. I had read about this very event almost happening in a baseball game in Cuba. Baseball Reference has a paragraph about this on their website.

Cubs 5 - Cardinals 1
And now it's off to Home Run City of the National League to play three with the Rockies, then four more with the Dodgers.

Re: Are There Any BASEBALL Fans On The Forum?
Congrats y’all on the sweep. Seems this year whoever is the home team in that Cards/Cubs series wins, at least so far. I’m betting that changes before long.
OC, I have no idea whether the scenario you describe has ever happened in MLB, but it’s my understanding if the runner scores before the third out is executed, the run counts. Only after the third out is executed is the ball dead and that half-inning over. Technically the “fourth out” isn’t necessary - because the runner on third failed to tag up before advancing, he did not in fact legally score before the third out was executed.

Re: Are There Any BASEBALL Fans On The Forum?
The third out is the final out of the inning. What ever happens after that goes in the bit bucket and has zero effect on the game.

Not often seen, but a straight steal of home plate has to be one of the most exciting plays in baseball! This from yesterday.

Aah, that is not so. Read the explanation where the 4th out could come into play by a defending team that knows the rule.jerryd6818 wrote:The third out is the final out of the inning. What ever happens after that goes in the bit bucket and has zero effect on the game.

Re: Are There Any BASEBALL Fans On The Forum?
That is not the way the tag up and advance rule works. The runner is always considered safe UNTIL the fielders make an appeal play to the base in question. The 4th out rule explains how this could be used by the defenders to cancel the run scoring this way. In fact this did happen in a MLB game in 1980, but the fielding team was not aware of the fourth out rule and did not use it. Check the link below:Mumbleypeg wrote:Congrats y’all on the sweep.
