Tie goes to runner?

[Tim C]

I believe there are three examples of "do overs" that are accepted in baseball:

"An inning must start with all players in the field of play (catcher in catcher's box) so if you have a couple of pitches, even a base hit, and then notice F9 has been in the restroom and not on the field you "do over" from the start of the inning."

"After a dead ball the defensive team tries a hidden ball trick. The plate umpire dose not notice that the pitcher did not have the ball when he put the ball back intous the ball was never legally in put into play."

"Batter hits the catcher's glove on his back swing . . . umpire can call a "do over" to reach equality."

Are there more "do overs" I am missing?

Regards,

The most common...batter backs out of the box without getting time called and the pitcher "balks." Start from scratch...."do over."

Glad to see that come about a few years ago. The balk call created some bass-ackward moments. They got one right here, from my perspective.

Would anyone please care to add more to the definition of "back swing"?

The backswing. A LL batter prepares to bunt the next pitch. The pitch is thrown right down the pipe. The batter decides to watch the pitch in to the mitt and pulls the bat back. The umpire rings it up as a strike. The clever mom yells that her son never made an attempt to bunt the pitch. Ump chuckles.

That's because OBR 6.06(c) CMT uses "backswing" to mean "follow through."

Sometimes the poster's meaning can be derived from context; sometimes clarification is needed.

Tie goes to the runner? First of all, there is no tie. Secondly, it's my judgement as to safe or out. If the runner has not touched the next base on a force before he or the base is tagged, he is out... it's that simple.
