I have my stopwatch out....
...lets see who will be the first to figure this out:
three outs...TWO pitches.... how? |
should say...
I actually had this last week....
|
That's an EZ one. ASA rules. Single on first pitch. Double play on second pitch,and appeal for batting out of order. Or batters not taking position within 10 seconds.

WRONG - all outs were result of a pitch.... |
Quote:
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.

Pitch one - HBP Pitch two - triple play |

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:D |
2 pitches -- 3 outs
How about ITB -- then out for runner leaving base early (no pitch!) and then 2 first pitch ground outs or fly balls?

Batter bunts, pops it up; caught fly ball, R1 doubled off second. Two outs. Oops, BOO; now three outs, one pitch. |

Speaking of ITB..
When I mentioned "ITB" at my latest ASA tournament, the Commisioner of SoCal ASA corrected me that "there is no such thing". It's TB in the rule book. So out of curiosity, when did the "International Tie Breaker" become "Tie Breaker"?

It is interesting that the rule's correct name is the Tie-Breaker Rule in ASA. Yet, around here it is generally referred to as merely the International Rule! :rolleyes:

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 |
