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?

 

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 : )

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.

Hudson is done, let's take the lead.

Honestly, a question like that isnt dumb because youre asking about some of the intricacies of the game, and its those intricacies that really keep it interesting. At the same time, theyre not always the easiest concepts to understand, so I have no problem explaining it to someone who asks.

Gotta love the Braves defense.

Ew, Uggla.

Seriously, this is getting ridiculous how we can't bring a runner home from scoring position with NO OUTS.

bases loaded 1 out and didnt score and a runner at second nobody out and dont score.....great job morons

No one on this team knows how to move a runner over with no outs or bring a guy in from third with one out.

bases loaded 1 out and didnt score and a runner at second nobody out and dont score.....great job morons

 

Yeah, we didn't score except for that run we scored.

bases loaded 1 out and didnt score and a runner at second nobody out and dont score.....great job morons

You mean that run Ricky drove in?

Yes I do.

Great job by Ross charging that ball...kept Escobar from scoring.

Crap.

Yes I do.

 

you mean when coghlan struck out and gaby flew out....yea thats bases loaded one out

This game isn't looking so hot. Hopefully someone steps up in the bullpen and on offense.

Been 2 years since this one was used.

Our Bullpen is $$$! :banghead

Stop, look at the gamecast. Uggla grounded out as the first batter in that inning.

Actually, that's bases loaded 1 out and bases loaded 2 outs. Also, there was a bases loaded 1 out AB directly before it and a run came in.

 

CC had a bad AB (nothing new) but Gaby had a great AB and had he been up with 1 out that would have been a sac fly.

TANK

Welcome back Tank. I had a great talk with Tank during the off-season and It's great to see him back.
