baseball rules?????? i need to the baseball rules. anibody know? thanks Riddle replied: "There's literally a bunch of rules. It takes years to get to know them all. By watching and playing, you learn them all, one step at a time. I still will find some quirky rule that I never knew, and I've been a fan my whole life."

Very helpful!" Does anyone have good fantasy baseball rules for a roto league? Every season we fight over trading rules -should vetos be allowed, should a commish have veto power, etc. We need to write down rules before our league begins this year. Anyone have a good set of rules I could take a look at? EnormusJ69 replied: "No Veto that puts the pressure on the commish to make all the decisions for the league. Make it league vote with either 1 or 2 day trade reject period. If you have issues with trades you can also create Max trades at 5. That will stop 2 teams from conspiring to help each other all year. You can also move your trade date up from standard Aug 12 to late July when more teams are still in contention.
One other thing that may help is adding another bench position or an extra DL spot. If you have more players to choose from it's easier to play the waiver wire rather than trading Pujols for Erik Bedard because you are losing pitching categories.
We did institute a gentlemens agreement last year that follows the Can't Cut List - any trade involving a player on the CCL must include receiving one from the CCL. The guy with Abreu was mad for half a season.. lol" In high school baseball rules, are you allowed to barrel the catcher? I think it is legal. I think barreling the catcher is part of baseball. Jon Toner replied: "The rules vary by state. I can state with certainty it is illegal in Massachusetts.
MOST states that I am aware of have a no-contact rule. PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A MANDATORY SLIDE RULE!!
Basically it states that the runner must make an effort to avoid contact with the catcher. So blasting the catcher will result in an out and an ejection."
Richard H replied: "ask your coach or the umpire."
matt27 replied: "we have to slide if its a close play or you get ejected, and your coach gets ejected. so if you think its going to be a close play ur better off sliding, and your ondeck batter should be helping you."
lrm22csuf replied: "In California, no."
itsa_fact_jack replied: "HS Rules in Missouri require the runner to avoid excess contact at any base...That is also the rule for ALL of American Legion Baseball...
There's a huge difference between grown men playing pro ball and 16-18 year old kids.."
vegasbrother99 replied: "it may gain a one game suspension and ejection, but if the catcher deserves it, run him over"
a.malin@sbcglobal.net replied: "You have the right to run in to the catcher, but if you lower your shoulder or shove him, you will be ejected for malicious contact.
Several years experience as an umpire." Can you come up with the correct answer to this baseball rules question? This was a Little League baseball game and the team at bat had a runner on third base with less than two outs. The batter hits a fly ball to the outfield and the runner tags up at third base and is half way home when the outfielder makes the catch. After the play the manager for the defensive team calls time out and talks to his pitcher. The pitcher goes back to the mound steps on the rubber and than steps off and throws to third base to appeal the runner leaving the base on a tag before the catch was made. The correct call was made by the umpire, what was that call?
The correct answer with the best explanation wins best answer.
One additional very important detail. The throw from the pitcher to third base went over the head of the third baseman into dead ball territory. If you have answered this question and want to change your response please do it.
Official baseball rule 6.08A and 7.08C&J apply. Continuous play must occur to make an appeal. If the umpire calls time out continuous play resumes after he says "play ball" and the pitcher can step on the rubber and then step off and throw to third base on the appeal. However, if the manager calls time out the continuous play stops and no appeal can be made after play resumes. Also, the rules say if you throw the ball in "dead ball territory" such as the bleachers or dugout, the appeal will not be granted. In this case the appeal was denied and the run scored because of the manager time out before the appeal. Injun replied: "He is out..."
sm_csu replied: "Out"
gatogordot replied: "He is out. The appeal can be made at any time before delivering the next pitch."
Lawrence R replied: "He is out for leaving the bag early. He has to wait until the catch is made or not made."
davegretw1997 replied: "He's out. He left early and didn't go back. The calling of time does not affect this at all. The only way that run counts is if the pitcher throws a pitch home. He toed the rubber, then stepped off, and threw to the third base bag. Out as out can be."
just_my_2_cents replied: "I would say safe because the play ended when time was called by the defensive team.
And with the deadball overthrow then all baserunners are awarded the next base so I say safe and run scores on both accounts."
Ernest C replied: "The runner is out, he tagged up before the catch was made. The pitcher can appeal a decision by stepping on the rubber, stepping off, then someone tagging the base. Thi process has to be done before the next pitch is thrown.
for more information go to"
Alex_H replied: "the call was out beacuse u cant leave the base untill the outfielder catches the ball and makes the play."
search4knowledge replied: "If you are correct in view of the play the player never actually TAG UP. Because he left the base before the ball was caught by the outfieder. All they had to do was throw the ball to the man covering 3rd base and stepping on the bag.
As long as the pitcher never threw a pitch to the next batter
he can make the appeal play to 3rd base.
But, the manager did call time out and visited the mound
which means the previous play was complete and the run scores and the runner is safe. All the manager had to do was to call out to the pitcher to finish the play without the timeout."
Byron P replied: "Since the ball ended in dead ball territory. I think on a dead ball call all runners go back to the last base that they were at. Since he crossed the plate that was the last place he was at before the umpire signaled anything and the defense screwed up. So, with that said I would say the runner scored."
Tookie replied: "According to the details you gave us, the runner on third base is out. You said that the runner was halfway down the line when the outfielder caught the ball. This means the runner did not tag up properly and left the base too soon.
HOWEVER
The pitcher did not need to step on the rubber and then off again to appeal. Any of the fielders on the field could have thrown the ball to third base to throw the runner out. If the pitcher had in fact thrown a pitch after the bad-tag-up, the run would have counted.
NOW
Since the ball was thrown into dead ball territory all runners are awarded 1 base. However, the runner left too early. So the defending team could still appeal the call and get the runner called out."
dentroll replied: "The defense only gets one chance at an appeal. Assuming the ball was made live when the pitcher was on the rubber, the first play was an overthrow ending with a dead ball. At this point the defense has lost its chance to appeal, so the run counts."
jjburke replied: "The runner is out at third. The runner can only tag up after the ball was caught by the outfielder. Since the ball was thrown on an appeal at third base and not during an actual play, I don't believe it matters if the ball goes past the fielder."
jeremy_hancock replied: "Assuming that, after the throw, the ball was retrieved from foul territory and the fielder stepped on third base, then the runner would be out."
Ryan R replied: "People really don't like it when askers change the situation in the middle of the game. How in the world would those who answered the question as soon as you posted know that the pitcher threw the ball out of play?
Anyway, the appeal is to be denied because the defense erred on the play by throwing the ball out of play." Can you answer this baseball rules question? Bases loaded with two outs and the batter hits a homerun. When the umpire throws a new ball to the pitcher the defensive team appeals the play at second base and the umpire rules the batter that hit the homerun out at second on appeal for missing the base as he ran out his homerun. How many runs, if any, score on the play?
I want to hear from you Ryan P.
I want to hear from you Ryan R.
I want to hear from you Ryan R. old school replied: "I believe two."
q.man6219 replied: "only three. since the only player that didn't touch the base was the hitter,he is the only out."
thoughtdream replied: "Three, as long as the other runners hit all the bases. Only the person who missed the base would be out. The other runners would count.
Throw a loop in that question, what if one of the runners missed a base? The other team appeals the person who started on second, saying he missed third base. Would the runner on first, and the batter who hit the home run, count?
The answer is yes."
Bryan P replied: "Only two runs will have counted because he(batter) traveled two bases and only two runners would have crossed the plate at that time. He will be called out and the inning will be over."
Mr. E replied: "3 runs score"
dlmickd replied: "one run scores and batter is considerd out once he misses the bag."
Mickey Mantle replied: "My guess would be two..... back in the 60's something similar happened in the game Harvey Haddix pitched 12 perfect innings against the Braves....in the 13 Felix Mantilla reached first on an error(I think)....with one out, Aaron walked putting Mantilla at 2nd base.....Joe Adcock next up hit a homerun (apparent) as he rounded second, he passed Aaron and was credit with a single....using this same logic....with Mantilla at 2nd base....I would say 2 runs would be allowed?????....by the way the winning pitcher was Lou Burdette who went the entire 13 innings....he recently passed away."
dentroll replied: "3 runs score. The out isn't recorded until after all 3 runners have crossed the plate. If the third out is recorded due to a batter or runner missing a base, no FOLLOWING runner may score on the play, and of course the runner who missed the base is out and doesn't score, but the preceding runners' runs count.
Note that if any runner misses a base at which he could be forced out, NO runs would score on the play if that was the third out."
ki3r4luvsnyy replied: "I'm not Ryan but I'm answering. If the bases were loaded and the batter hit a homerun. it would be a grand slam. they are the greatest hits you can get. if you hit one it brings in 4 runs. :-)"
Ricky Lee replied: "3 runs would count as 3 runners would have crossed the plate before the third out is recorded,as this is also not a force out only the batter runners run would not count as he is out at 2nd.The batter is credited with a single"
llk51 replied: "The situation could impact it. If it was the bottom of the ninth with the score tied, it would be considered a single, and since only one run was needed to decide the game, then just one run would be counted.
That was the logic followed in the Haddix game."
baseballjohn48 replied: "3 cause the runners are awared the bases on the HR if the ball left playing territory, however they have to touch their bases. If it was inside the park HR then it is a judgement call were the other runners were when the batter runner missed second base"
pob14 replied: "Why do so many people guess on baseball rules questions? And why do they almost always guess wrong? :-)
Three runs score, as most others have said. It's not a force out, and it's not an out made by the batter before touching first, so all runs that touch the plate before the out is recorded score.
The out is recorded at the moment of the appeal, not when the base is missed.
So all three runners score.
If it were another runner that were put out for missing a base, no runners BEHIND him score. So if it had been the runner from first that missed second, only the two runners ahead of him score. See Rule 7." If I'm new to baseball and I want to go to a city where baseball rules everything else, where do I go? New York has everything, so they're eliminated. Could say the same about Chicago and LA. Doctor Hot replied: "Moskova"
RedSoxForever replied: "cooperstown ohio its where the hall of fame is and the best baseball city"
wdx2bb replied: "You aren't going to find a place where baseball is the only sport in town. Any city big enough to support major league baseball will have another pro sports team in it.
Now, if you are asking where baseball is the #1 sport, that's a different story. I think it's fair to say New York fits that classification most of the time. Boston usually is in that class, although the Patriots are a strong 1A to the Red Sox' 1 right now. Baseball is huge in St. Louis. Los Angeles doesn't have football as a direct competitor, so you'd have to say Dodgers/Angels are on top.
Just for comparison's sake -- Dallas, Washington, Pittsburgh, Denver and Kansas City are generally called football towns. I'm not sure Philadelphia has a preference."
Ms.6 replied: "Well Cleveland is a big sportstown. We have just about everything covered from basketball, football, and baseball.
But if you want to choose between LA and Chicago, I'd say go with Chi-town and root for the Cubs!
LA has to much other things going on in it to be concerned with sports."
soxak replied: "If you want a city ruled by baseball you have got to go to Boston. On gameday Fenway Park is like disney land. Any other day Boston is all about the sox. You will not find a town more invested in their team."
Alex W replied: "The biggest baseball cities are NYC and Chicago."
buckymckrakin replied: "In Arizona, they play baseball all year long. We love all our sports teams, but the D-Backs earned so much respect for being a young team and winning the series in 01. Arizona loves it's baseball, it's just a smaller market than L.A. our N.Y.C."
Jay W replied: "Boston. The Red Sox are a way of life."
red4tribe replied: "Try Cleveland."
arabftw replied: "New York is the main one since their basketball and football teams suck. I live in Arizone and it really is baseball year round. I should know seeing as how I play ball for my high school team and we've been practicing, training, weight lifting since August and school season doesn't start until Spring. Tomorrow I have a fall league game against one of the best high schools in the state....It's gonna be good."
Dirk L replied: "It's Cooperstown NY, not Cooperstown Ohio.
St. Louis Cardinals, and the Cub's are the best places to start."
St. Louis Cardinals Fan replied: "Well your avatar says it all St. Louis Cardinals! Great city. I see nothing but Cardinals there, the fans are great and really know their stuff about baseball. Not to mention Busch Stadium is awesome!"
Kevin H replied: "the Washington nationals new stadium in APRIL 2008"
Kodadog replied: "For all you Boston believers, keep in mind, the Celtics are gunna be HUGE this year....it might change."
pricehillsaint replied: "Stick with St. Louis or Cincinnati. NY and Chicago are jerks and LA it's in by the 4th/leave by the 7th."
CubsWin replied: "The fact that you have the Cardinals logo next to your name and you are asking where you would go to find good baseball fans says it all about St. Louis. Who are you going to idolize when your drunk of a manager leaves town?"
devora k replied: "Cleveland Cleveland rocks" Should you help a competitor that is not paying attention to the fantasy baseball rules? Just wanted to get peoples thoughts on alerting a competitor in a FB league in regards to the fact that there is a Max Innings Pitched restriction. Is it the right thing to do from an "ethical competitor" point of view?
It's pretty obvious that they are attempting to collect wins by swapping SP's in and out based on the matchup, but in the process, they're already 300 IP over! Would you let them know - or just let them find out the hard way in August? Thanks ahead for your answers!
While the league settings are competitive, it's a pretty laid back and friendly league overall. Tigaz 07 replied: "Haha, if I were you I would find him and make fun of him already. What an idiot if he doesn't know the league settings. Seriously, if hes already 300 ip OVER he doesn't belong in a fantasy sports league. haha too good."
nyjets replied: "If they are not friendly and wont take your advice dont give it more than once. But since its not for money and its a friendly league its "sportsmanship". I mean he could take your advice and since he probably doesnt know the rules he is new, its good thing to do. Let him be aware of the rule, thats i would personally do."
Iron Maiden replied: "yeah tell him because if you want a competitive league than you want him to know what he is doing soit can be competitive."
alwaysmoose replied: "That's my strategy. If he has poor starters to begin with it's not that bad of a strategy. His luck will run out soon and you'll definitely have the edge in ERA and WHIP, but strange things can happen when you mix desire and stupidity. Leave him be." Midseason fantasy baseball rules change? Is it possible for the commish in a yahoo!sports fantasy baseball league to change the rules midseason? Particularly, I am interested in our commish changing the "edit lineup" options to allow us to update our lineup everyday--instead of only once a week. We run a head to head league, and I am not the commissioner. brettj666 replied: "No, that's not one of the options you can change once the season has started." Dart Baseball Rules for the Special Board? My brother wanted me to google the rules to play dart baseball and all I found were the ones for a normal dart bored. I went out side and noticed they had the dart board flipped around and what looked like a special dart baseball board, but can't find rules to play. Can someone link me to the rules for that game please? Imaka replied: "As odd as it might sound, try posting this question in Board Games and someone there might know. All kinds of questions about all kinds of games get good answers there sometimes." |
