That's a lot of extra ground for a 12 year old to cover and a ball in the gap is a guaranteed triple or in the park home run.


just seems like the kid would have gotten a in the park hr even if the kid fields the ball and trys to throw him out. batter shouldn't be punished because the ball rolled too far

I've seen MLB players lose what would likely be triples b/c of ground rule double rules. Too bad so sad if you get caught by one.

If a ball rolls under the fence it shouldn't be an auto HR b/c it's an unplayable ball.

It doesn't matter if the kid might have still made an inside the park HR b/c you still have to play it out to see. Maybe he falls on his face while he is running, maybe he pulls a muscle and has to stop, or maybe he is slow as shite and gets caught.

You say the batter shouldn't be punished b/c the ball rolled to far but I say he shouldn't be rewarded b/c the field is poorly maintained.
