Usually a FC requires some sort of choice made by the defense, but in this situation the fielder has no choice on which player to try to get out.

Why do you seem so angry about little stuff like this? Deep breath.....
You don't need logic, you need the scoring rules.

10.05
(b) The official scorer shall not credit a base hit when a:
(1) runner is forced out by a batted ball, or would have been forced out except for a fielding error;
(2) batter apparently hits safely and a runner who is forced to advance by reason of the batter becoming a runner fails to touch the first base to which such runner is advancing and is called out on appeal. The official scorer shall charge the batter with a time at bat but no hit;


People get upset when a poster continues to argue against a black-and-white-by-the-rules ruling.

That's fine. I admitted long ago in this thread that I was wrong. I'm not continuing to argue against anythinng. I'm not sure why Kevin feels the need to keep proving he was right, all because I told him I did additional research on why this is a FC and not a hit.

Kevin, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Bad game last night?

Upset is one. Incredulous is another. Amused, astounded and dumbfounded are others.
