Pitcher A pitches to Batter 1 who flies out to right field. Batter 2 reaches on base on balls. Batter 3 doubles, Batter 2 reaches third base. Pitcher B relieves Pitcher A. Pitcher B pitches to Batter 3 and the ball reaches the backstop. We’ll call it a passed ball to take Pitcher B out of this scenario. (If it is deemed a wild pitch the impact on earned runs is the same). Batter 2 scores on the passed ball. Batter 3 advances to third on the passed ball. Batter 4 grounds to the pitcher and is thrown out at first, but Batter 2 scores on a fielder’s choice. Batter 5 grounds out to short and the inning is ended. What runs are earned in the above scenario, if any? (Rule 9.16 in the rule book, Earned Runs and Runs Allowed)

When a player moves up a base or two after getting on base, I always put the number of the player who was up to bat next to the notation of how the player advanced. So if he singles and then steals second I always mark (SB and the the number of the player who was up when he stole the base.

Pinch runners and pinch hitters are substitutions, so you write the name of that player under the player their subbing in for (you'll see there's space on the scorecard for that), and then you write in parentheses which inning the entered, e.g. Smith (PH9) or Suarez (PR9)

Learning this to help my dad and I had this same question. Sorry I'm 7 years late answering but you just go to the next inning in the book and cross out the number and pencil in the current inning. (i.e. if a team reaches the top of their lineup again in the 1st inning, you go into the 2nd inning spots and keep going. Just be sure to cross out "2" and replace it with "1" so you know what happened after the fact.)

How do you score if a team goes through the rotation.
@charlieh35105 жыл бұрын
Scoring a team that has batted around (meaning all batters have batted once and are beginning to bat for a second time that inning) is quite easy to do. Simply continue scoring the at bats in the column for the next inning! This works because the line you put at the bottom of the batter who records the 3rd out is your go-to indicator to which inning is which. For example, if your team batted all 9 batters in the first inning there would be no line anywhere underneath a batter in that column. The first line, indicating the end of the first inning, would be under whoever makes the 3rd out. If it gets confusing you can make a note next to the inning number "bat around" to indicate that you are still scoring the 1st inning in the 2nd innings column.

I don’t think you need to mark the actual tag up. Probably just the resulting base/out. So if a fly is caught in deep RF a runner leading off second rags up and runs to third, you would just mark the third base path and write F9 That’s my hunch.

What do you mean he struck out "looking"? What's the difference between the frontwards K and the backwards K?
@matbur814 жыл бұрын
'm British and am learning baseball and was wondering the same thing recently. So, when I looked it up it seems that a normal strikeout is a 'K'. If on two strikes, the pitcher throws the final strike (not a ball) and the batter doesn't even swing, then that's 'struck out looking'. He was looking at the pitch when he HAD to swing for it, but didn't - that's the reverse 'K'
@willoughbykrenzteinburg4 жыл бұрын
@@matbur81 There are a few ways you can get a strike. If you swing and miss at a pitch, that is a strike. If it is your third strike, you struck out swinging. If you hit a foul ball, that is a strike, but it can't count as a third strike (unless it is a foul tip - where you barely graze the ball and the catcher catches is cleanly - in which case it is also counted as a swinging strike out). The third way is to not swing at a ball that passes through the strike zone. This last one is known as "looking". Meaning, you watched a strike being thrown, and if that is your third strike, you struck out looking. A forwards K indicates a swinging strike out, and if you strike out looking, it's a backwards K.

@charlieh35105 жыл бұрын
it is recorded as a strikeout (K), and then either a 2-3 to indicate the catcher throwing the runner out at 1st, or a line to first base underneath the K if the runner advanced safely. Also it is helpful to score reason why the runner was safe (if he was), either passed ball (PB) if the catcher dropped it, wild pitch (WP) if the pitch was in the dirt and uncatchable for the catcher, or error E2 if the runner advances to first on a throwing error by the catcher. I hope that makes sense and helps you out!
