A special pinch runner (SPR) can be used once per inning.

The SPR has to be a player who isn't in the current lineup.

You can only run for someone once per game.

How complicated is that?

7.14 reads player who has not appeared in the batting order, not who isn't in the current lineup. There is a big difference, especially later in a game.

The rule was changed in 2005 - get a current book.


7.14 -- Once each inning, a team may utilize a player who is not in the batting order as a special pinch-runner for any offensive player. A player may only be removed for a pinch runner one time during a game. The player for whom the pinch-runner runs is not subject to removal from the lineup. If the pinch runner remains in the game as a substitute defensive or offensive player, that player may not be used again as a pinch-runner while in the batting order. However, if removed for another substitute that player or any player not in the lineup, is again eligible to be used as a pinch runner.

Most misunderstood rule(s) by coaches:

1. They think the hands are a part of the bat when a batter gets hit there thus making it in play or a foul ball depending on where it ends up.

2. They think the runner has the right to the "base path" when the fielder is in the process of fielding the ball.

3. They think a third to first pick-off is a balk.

4. They think runners have to slide at home plate no matter what, even if the catcher catches the ball 10 feet up the line and tags the kid coming around third out, they say he still has to slide and needs to be objected.

5. They think the players can't touch a player before he touches home plate when he hits a home run.

6. They think if the catcher catches the ball good, it's a strike...no matter if he is set up a foot outside.

Alright, I'm just complaining now so I'll stop.

I would like to know your rationale for this. It's impossible for this to happen. Many rules state that the players have to slide to avoid contact, but a mandatory slide rule at home plate is ridiculous if you ask me. And in this sitch, sliding halfway down the line 10-15 feet from the plate just to avoid getting ejected borders the line of a stupid rule.

He was making fun of your butchering of the English language. Last season I objected to a lot of players, but I only ejected two.

lmathews19 Wed Jun 14, 2006 03:45pm

Ooh, I see it now. I meant "ejected" LMan. I should have known that any chance to smart-off on this board people get they take it. My fault LMan, "ejected"...I'll be sure to proof-read my next post that I write for your sake.

LMan Thu Jun 15, 2006 07:15am

Yeah, I'm terrible that way....ya gotta both give it and take it around here. ;)

And I'm so happy that you were smug enough to post an outdated rule to show me I was wrong.

There are rules changes every year. You really need to keep up with them.

And I'm so happy that you get to continue to prove what a pompous *** you are. I'm glad you are never, ever wrong.

He may be pompous, but at least he doesn't objectify!

If I don't know the answer I don't reply. Simple method.
