re: Little known rules of baseball

A ball that lodges in the catcher's mask or paraphernilia is a live ball and is in play the whole time.
Ron Luciano had this situation once in a game and didn't know what to do, so he made up a rule on the spot and told both managers that all runners advance one base.

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.
Ground rules are a bitch.
Also, I'm fairly certain that a passed ball or wild pitch with a runner scoring is also scored as an RBI for the batter, but I could be wrong.

Not a rule but I did learn that there is a such thing as an unassisted triple play without any fielder touching the ball. Anybody know how to pull that off without googling?
Checking it again, I'm not sure if it's possible. It was an incorrect call. I'm an idiot. Move along. Nothing to see here.

You are. A run scoring on a wild pitch or passed ball is never an RBI for a hitter.

You seem hung up on this tie goes to the runner thing
Everyone knows that isn't a real rule

does the rule say the runner has to beat the throw? or does it say the throw has to beat the runner?

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
Not really.
Defensive indifference is scored in late innings when the defensive team is up and the baserunner "doesn't matter," as in the runner isn't the tying or go ahead run or whatever.
If a dude attempts to steal 2nd in the 3rd inning of a 4-1 ballgame, and the catcher doesn't throw down, that's still a stolen base.

Unasisted means only one fielder touched the batted ball. Triple play means 3 outs on one play.
Troy #13
Last year LSU hit into a triple play.

It's basically an error on the P or C so it's not an RBI. Same thing as a SS booting one with a runner on 3B.

Infield fly can be called for a ball hit to left field. :still bitter:

Well, I mean, if he's there at the same time the ball gets there, he's 99% of the time called safe?

A lot of people think an infield fly means the play is automatically dead and the batter is out. Well the batter is out but it is still a live ball. Runners may advance at their own risk.

An infield fly can land 3/4ths of the way into the outfield

My jimmies are still rustled. I was at the game in the outfield and had to dodge aluminum cans of swill from busting my families head open.

A pitcher can have an infinite number of strikeouts in an inning

The reason it's called safe that much is because it's such a little known rule.

It says it both ways...
7.01 A runner acquires the right to an unoccupied base when he touches it before he is out.
7.08 Any runner is out when—
(e) He or the next base is tagged before he touches the next base,
So he's safe if he beats the throw, he's out if the throw beats him. There is no tie.

If it's a PITCH that lodges in the catcher's mark, then it's a dead ball and all runners advance one base. If it's a thrown ball (say a play at the plate) then yeah, it's live, the same as if it sticks in the webbing of a fielder's glove.
