Question From a Fan Re Hit By Pitch

[Rich Ives]

If you undo the HBP you undo the dead ball. So the runner gets 2B on the WP.

I don't see the problem, even the announcers got it right. No HBP, R1 advances on the wild pitch, Charlie M gets a runner at second and still finds a way to get ejected. What a marooon.

Houston Pitcher Roy Oswald got ejected in the 3rd inning yesterday for allegedly arguing balls and strikes (he said he was just mad at himself and not talking to the ump). His team went on to lose 14-4........

It's Oswalt...

Two fans also got tossed for running onto the field. I'm guessing that they and Roy just didn't want to be around any longer - although watching a 4-run outpouring from that offense would have been worth watching - a rare occurence indeed.

Thanks for the correction, my bad.

Certainly more common than the "9 spot" hung on the board by the Nats - their first ever as non-Expos!

So why was Oswalt pointing at and walking towards HPU Bill Hohn and saying , "That one's on you. That one's on you".

No brainer ejection. You could tell Oswalt was fixing to get the heave ho.

What thread you responding to?

Back to this one, I don't think I have ever called a HBP and then reversed after discussion with partner. Can't say I have ever missed one that was convinced by partner after discussion either. If he saw it he should have called it if I did not. That is a pregame item, the previous is not.

If in doubt watch the batter, see what he does, if he starts trotting 1B you have decision to make, if not he help you make decision.

This is correct. I had almost the exact thing last weekend. With R2, I thought a low pitch grazed the batter, called Time as the ball went to the backstop. It rebounded back to F2, but R2 had already reached 3rd, so there was no possible play. Both the batter and F2 said that the ball didn't hit the batter, so I reversed the HBP and left R2 at 3rd, much to the displeasure of F2.
