6/17/2010 (Marlins (31-34) vs Rangers (37-28)
Can someone tell me what the hell is on Hanley's batting helmet? It looks like smeared gold or something. Hes had it like that for a couple of years It's pine tar. Did he miss his bat?

Braves @ Marlins - Game 3
Game is continuing in about 10 minutes. Buente coming in for the Fish. Who is that? Sorry, Im new to Marlins players. But I have offically caught the bug and I LOVE BASEBALL. Can anyone explain to me a particular play? When a batter gets a third strike and swings all the way around and then attempts to run, but the catcher tags them out, why do they attempt to run? I thought if it's three strikes your out? Why do they get the chance to make it to first base? On an uncaught third strike with no runner on first base (or with two outs, regardless of whether there is a runner on first), the batter immediately becomes a runner. The strike is called, but the umpire does not call the batter out. The umpire may also actively signal that there is "no catch" of the pitch. The batter may then attempt to reach first base, and must be tagged or thrown out. Regardless of the outcome of an uncaught third strike, the pitcher is statistically credited with a strikeout. Because of the uncaught third strike rule, it is possible for a pitcher to register more than three strikeouts in an inning, a feat which has been accomplished in Major League Baseball 53 times since 1901.[2] At one point in history, nearly forty years passed before this feat was repeated (1916-1956). Note that if, at the time of the strike three pitch, first base is occupied with fewer than two outs, the batter is automatically out and cannot become a runner. This is to prevent the defense from deliberately dropping a third strike pitch and getting a double or triple play as a result, because of the possible force play at second, third base, or home plate in this situation. Thank you : ) I fully understand now! Sorry if ya'll thought they were dumb questions. But like I said, Im new to this stuff. Going to the phillies game on saturday!! wooo, can't wait. Who ever says baseball is boring, is crazy, This is such a fun sport!!!

I thought if it's three strikes your out? Why do they get the chance to make it to first base? That only happens if the catcher drops the ball after the third strike... the batter gets the opportunity to run to first because its as if the catcher made an error and as if the batter gets a chance to steal first. If you can make it before the catcher gets the ball and either tags u or throws to first, u get to stay on first. Now just to clarify, its not an error on the catcher and its not a stolen base for the hitter... I just describe if that way cause the concept is easier to explain that way. Hope that helps! One last thing... if the hitter gets to first, an interesting thing happens as the pitcher has to actually record more than three outs in the inning. Here's why... if the batter makes it to first, no out is recorded BUT the pitcher is still credited with the strikeout. So the pitcher gets that one strikeout yet still has to get three more outs... thus he essentially had to get four outs in the inning... and actually, if this happened with more batters in the inning... a pitcher could conceivably have to get 6 or more outs in an inning, though im pretty sure thats never happened, its possible. Thank you sooooo much! I finally understand. I tried to google that play and nothing came up. Now I get! Thanx again : )
