Two LEGAL pitches or two pitches total?

Does an intentional walk require 4 pitches or can the BR be sent down without a pitch?

Fast Pitch or Slow Pitch? Tie Breaker rule? Not enough information.

I was TRYING to see who could figure it - yes, FP, yes tie breaker...

R1 on 2B - ITB
Pitch one - HBP
Pitch two - triple play

1st pitch a single...R1 stays on 2nd. Now you have R1 on 2B & R 2 on 1st.

2nd pitch...High fly towards short stop...IFR so BR Out. R2 passes R1 (2nd Out). Fly ball hits R1 (3rd out).

Have heard this same scenario as "how do you get 3 outs on 1 batted ball and no one on defenses touches ball?"..of course there isn't a pitch limit!

Guess if this isn't the right answer you have another umpire riddle!

This was the sitch:

T11 TB runner on 2b

Pitch 1: infield pop up Out 1

Pitch 2 : grounder to 3rd (out 2), R1 goes to 3rd on the throw, then gets caught off the base and a quick run down for Out 3....home team wins B11....on a 1st pitch single..so a total of three pitches the entire inning, and we FINALLY get to go home...

Actually, I've had and posted this before. . It was the first year they decided to keep an out on a BOO. I honestly believed I would never see something like this, but in the first league game of the year.


B1 singles
B3 hits into a 4-6-3 DP
Defense appeals BOO, B2 declared out.

Two batters, two pitches, three outs. the half-inning barely took 3 minutes and most of that was waiting for the prima donnas to get in the box.

Don't know about you, but it really lifted my spirits when I realized what had happened. Now, if they could all be that easy

How about ITB -- then out for runner leaving base early (no pitch!) and then 2 first pitch ground outs or fly balls?

Doesn't Andy have a one-pitch version of three outs?

Funny you should post this. . . .I was listening to ESPN the other day about the "greatest triple play" (BASEBALL) that whoever was being interviewed remembered. . .

He said the greatest triple play was in a Minor League A game where the ball was never caught and was never fielded defensively. . . .

R1 on 2b
R2 on 1b

BOTH Runners are stealing. . . .There is a towering popup and IFF called on the batter, R1 is on his way back to 2B but is is passed by R2. . . on his way back to 2B and after being overpassed, R1 interferes with the ball.. . .TRIPLE PLAY. . .ball never touches a glove or fielder
