If there are runners on first and second base with two outs. The the batter pops up the ball. The base runners should be runing no matter what right?
There is a runner at third. Less than two outs. Runners leads off in foul territory. The batter hits a line drive that hits third base and ricochets off and hits the runner in foul territory. What is the call regarding the runner. Is the ball live and the runners safe. Is the runner out and the ball dead.
Where do teams get the bat boys for their dugout when they are away?
When a new ball is required some home plate umpires choose to throw it to the pitcher themselves, rather than hand the new ball to the catcher. If there are runners on base can they advance if the umpire makes a bad throw to the pitcher and the ball gets away? Or is it considered a “timeout” if the umpire is handling the ball?
A batter hits a fly ball that hits the outfield wall (below the top of the wall) but is then caught by the outfielder before it hits the ground. Is the batter out or safe?
