Kind of interesting. The quiz is in the small box in the left a little down the article. I would link the quiz but I took it beforehand so I don't know if it would show my answers or not

I got 4/10

Those were tough. 6/10 and I think I know the rules pretty well.

I don't know the rules for shite, and got 5/10. Reading the answers, there are a lot of little technical things that can make these go the other way too.

8/10. Those were pretty tough. Although part of the difficulty with these types of quizzes is reading comprehension, for me at least. I thought a few of the questions were worded poorly in an effort to try and trick people.

This quiz is factually incorrect because it includes a reference to Josh Hamilton hitting the ball hard.

This isn't a rules quiz so much as wording weird rules in a way to try and trick you. For example #4:

quote:

The Astros bat out of order in the first inning as they do not follow the lineup card submitted to the plate umpire prior to the game. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly does not appeal the batting out of order since no runner reached base. Astros manager Bo Porter can correct the mistake and have his team bat in proper order the remainder of the game without penalty. True or false?


So what exactly happened? Did the umpire call an out for them bating incorrectly or not? by proper order do they mean the order they submitted in the lineup card or the lineup they hit in? by without penalty do they mean without further penalty or without penalty at all?

I got that one right btw, but they are all kind of worded to confuse

I got the first 4 right and thought I was on a roll, then I got the last 6 wrong.

7/10.

I didn't think 4 was worded all that bad. They submitted a line up and batted out of order. No complaint by the opposing manager so they can hit in the correct order going forward without penalty.
