Dropped third strike
 

2 outs. Dropped 3rd strike.

BR starts walking toward the dugout.

How far can he go before he forfeits the right to run to first?

MLB

Dirt circle.

The edge of the dirt circle.

Unless you're playing in Cincinnati, apparently.

If the catcher starts toward him probably 1 step before he can be called out for a 3 foot violation.

Thus the question.

I got the $ 120 MLB thing and I haven't used it at all. Are you going to make me learn how to use it or will you post a link?

Confusion surrounds Cairo's strikeout in sixth | reds.com: News

Here's the video.

Who was PU?

Umpires: HP: John Hirschbeck. 1B: Laz Diaz. 2B: Scott Barry. 3B: Sam Holbrook.

So what ever happened to the new "no catch/safe signal" mechanic on uncaught third strikes? Is it optional? :confused:

As I had just mentioned yesterday, the Doug Eddings Controversy strikes again (Matt, that would be a good band name).

Wow, what a goat rodeo.

Wasn't that the name of their second album? :rolleyes:

Looks as if somebody killed firedougeddings.com.

My favorite is watching the third base coach in the middle of the diamond when the throw goes to second base.

I don't have my rules books with me (for once), What's the parameter for a batter/running be called out in NCAA and NFHS?

-Josh

To answer my own question...I went out to my car to get my BRD

NFHS: One a drop third strike with fewer than two out, the batter may try for first until the time of the next pitch or until he "reaches his bench or other dead-ball area"...

NCAA: The batter is out if he does not try for first before he "leaves the dirt area surrounding home plate heading towards his dugout"

-Josh

Those people are absolute whack jobs.

what? are you talking about.. 3 foot violation is for when a play is being made at 1st...LOL

Yeah... LOL. Love people at laugh at their own posts. Love it more when they are wrong.

The RUNNING LANE violation has to do with a play being made at first. 3-feet has to do with any tag attempt, anywhere on the field.

yes, and umpjim said he was gonna call the guy out for the 3' lane when the batter was just leaving the dirt circle... that rule 6.05k does not apply at that time..

Don't worry I KNOW im not wrong. ..LOL

No, he didn't. He said he would call him out for runing out of his baseline by 3' once the catcher started toward him to make a tag. Not 6.05(k) but 7.08(a).

Really? Try rereadng umpjim's post.

If I'm worried about anything it's your reading skills. Where does Jim say "lane"??? He's talking about avoiding a tag. Not the Running Lane (which is not even in existence within 1 step of the plate --- which is where jim was referring to).

Usually you are not wrong. This time...you are. LTM*

:D

I meant what Bob said I meant. Guess I should have been more specific.

your right, i read 3 foot violation , and though he was talking the 3' lane...my fault.

I might have to use this one Steve.
