Whats the call

I'll save wade the trouble. I dug it up in RS #44.

So you'd have R1 on 3B, R2 on 2B and the BR awarded 1B.

I don't know why I was overcomplicating things.

I did a search earlier for "deflect," and it only pulled up 8-8-M and RS 26, but neither of them go into a ball that hits a runner on base that hasn't passed a fielder.

#1. THIS IS NOT A DEFLECTED BALL!!!! The ball is dead.
#2. 8.8.M is the appropriate ruling as it pertains to the status of the runner hit by the ball.
#3. 8.8.E.6 is the appropriate ruling as it pertains to the status of the player who hit the ball.
#4. RS #44.A is the appropriate reference as it pertains to all involved in the play.
#5. Stop mixing beer and orange soda and you will not have these brain farts.

Well, it didn't mix well with grape soda, so I thought I'd try something new!

Not to hijack , but I was drinking Blue Moon beer in Aurora, and it is served with orange slices. Pretty good, in a different taste sort of way.

Anything which comes with fruit is not beer.

and the defender playing behind the runner you have an immediate dead ball and the batter is awarded 1st base. Then the runner from 1st moves up to 2nd base but the runner at 3rd isn't forced.

8-16m is the rule I was thinking of.. not 7 something.


And this is the case play

PLAY 8.9-6
With R1 on 1B, B2 hits a grounder toward F3. F3 is playing behind 1B and the ball strikes R1 standing on the bag trying to avoid the ball. When struck with the batted ball, both the ball and R1 are in fair territory.
RULING: The ball is fair and ruled dead. R1 is awarded 2B and B2 is awarded 1B. (8-1E[6]; 8-8M)

[DeputyUICHousto]

lets throw a monkey wrench into this one.

Lets say the first baseman is in front of the base when the runner is struck with a fair batted ball then the ball goes into dead ball territory.

Now the ball is live until it goes into dead ball territory and you have a GRD when it goes out of play.

so how is that a monkey wrench exactly?

Thanks , , , the play happened so quick that there is no way that I can tell any of you where he was when the ball hit R2. . . . I think he moved up and was standing parallel. . . .now THATS a monkey's wench. I mean a ***** to call

Even though this is a commercial for a crappy macro swill claiming to be beer, the sentiments expressed here still hold true even for a real beer.
