I think at one time, if the ball hit the yellow line it was a home run, which leads to some confusion.
I remember the call when no one understood why an obvious HR was ruled a hit. I'd prefer it be a HR for hitting the yellow line but arbitrary rules are arbitrary.
I'll never forget when a Braves player hit a sure HR and it bounced off the Houston roof and it was ruled a foul(?). Pissed me off.

I would assume any ball I dug out is dead
I saw that thread and sounds like a good retarded play. But I didnt watch any of it last note. Was withtthe bball game.
Made a thread at 400 that got whacked. Had to use random parts of game thread for material

I wonder how they would score that? A walk ?

If a fielder tries to throw his glove at a ball over his head, the batter is awarded a triple.

technically the manager picked it up right in front of the dugout. He tossed it towards the dugout, but i dont think it ever actually made it in there.

2.There is a such thing as a catcher balk.
I've seen this called a couple times growing up but ALWAYS when a team was trying to intentionally walk the batter.

This is never enforced.
I always thought that if the pitcher didn't pitch within the 20 seconds, the batter was just awarded a ball, not first.
And this rule isn't in effect when there is a runner already on first as the pitcher is trying to keep them close.
I've seen it enforced one time in my life with a pitcher from Cleveland. He was notorious for taking forever to deliver the pitch and the umpire finally couldn't take it.

This is definitely incorrect. Not sure what level of baseball you are referring to, but if the umpire wants they can call a "ball" not award the hitter first base.

I believe Willy Mays Hayes violated this rule.
Rule 7.05b: "Each runner including the batter-runner may, without liability to be put out, advance three bases if a fielder deliberately touches a fair ball with his cap, mask or any part or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person."

You are right. I read it wrong .

And if you are referring to MLB, I believe it's 12 seconds

I just wonder who the a-hole was that started the whole tie goes to the runner myth?
The rule states that ball must beat the runner to the bag. So if they both would get to the base at the same time, he would be safe. However in reality there is no tie, someone got there first.

Yup. The whole tie thing is a huge misconception. The umpires are looking to see if the ball beats the runner or not.

I hate the fact the runner doesn't get a SB for catcher's indifference

Yeah, it is only with runners on base and the batter is awarded a ball.

this is the dumbest stat rule to me. Defensive indifference most often means they wouldn't have had a play, not that the runner didn't "steal" the base

Recall some young punk umpire pulled this rule out of his handbook cost us the game
Pitcher has only 20 seconds to pitch the ball. If he fails to do so, the batter is awarded first.
