Then you will have a really tough time with the pop-up which lands behind the PP and rolls foul prior to passing a base.

Double posting will get you to 6000 in a hurry

Not really. But there was something in the way the rule struck me that caused me to post.

So, in the words of the orginal Saturday Night Live, Rosann-Rosanadana, "Nevermind"

How about the popup on which the BR intentionally interferes with F3 and causes the winning run to score?

Or where the runner intentionally interferes with a throw and causes the winning run to score?

Yes, it can happen.

Going the other way, last year I finally got to call a play I hoped I'd see but thought I never would:

Abel on 1B, one out, Baker lines a drive to center. Abel is around 2B and on his way to 3B when F8 makes a diving catch. As Abel is returning to 2B on his way back to 1B, F8 fires the ball back to the infield. The ball somehow gets through everybody and then rolls into the dugout as Abel is reaching 1B.

The offense is claiming that Abel is awarded 3B. The defense is claiming the Abel is awarded 2B (the old one-plus-one). But I get to shock the ballpark by making the proper (ASA) call and award Abel home.

I think you missed a leaving early call.

I think i see how he got HP

1 from the mound, 2 from the feild

When the ball went out of play, the last leagally touched base was 2B. The fact that the ball was caught makes no difference. Ball was thrown out of play...thus he gets home. am i right?

That's interesting. If he didn't go back and touch 2B, and you awarded him home on the throw, could the defense then appeal the BR not touching second, or leaving early?
