The "Catchers Balk" OBR

NF13 · #1 (**permalink**) Fri Sep 23, 2005, 10:10am

The question was asked on McGriff's cocerning how to score on the "catchers Balk" under OBR.

Myself and Splendido interpret the scoring this way:

The catcher cannot be charged with a balk. He will be charged with an error."Interference"

The pitcher will be charged with a Balk.

If a run scores because of the "catcher's balk", the pitcher wiil be charged with an earned run.

Sound Right?

Try looking it up and get back to us.

We did "look it up"! I was asking if someone interpreted the scoring rule differently! If you don't want to answer or don't care, then don't post anything.

I thought this board would be void of the BS that is all over McGriff's. Obviously the same thing happens here!

GEEZ!!!

This board is generally not interested in scoring questions.

scorebook......

By the way...."splendido"?
