Cardinals at Reds Series 8/24 thru 8/26/12

[Clyde]

MLB, HS or both?

 

Maybe you saw it in a fastpitch softball game. It is illegal there.

[Watusi]

The defender.

 

A runner can run anywhere he wants. He can from first to centerfield if he chooses. The only time it matters where he is running is when a defender is trying to make a tag. The "3 feet" rule then comes into play.

I knew it was only applicable when the bolded applied. I grew up with the teaching that you cannot go out of the base path to avoid being tagged. Essentially that is still correct, just that it isn't called the base path. I had the spirit of the law right, if not the letter.

..which I knew you would. Many think the 3 feet is measured from the white line.

That is where I saw that called! Thanks

[Watusi]

Baseball rule trivia would be a good thread. I would fail miserably, but it would be informational.

Watusi is correct as an umpire in 28 years I never missed a call so i know he is correct! :clap:

[stickymitts]

Gotcha. I had this mental picture of someone running from home to first backwards. :lol:

 

As long as they are in the base path, I don't think it matters if they back up or not. If that were against the rules, we would never have another rundown.

 

It is a rule strictly for batters running toward first base. Not the other bases.

So was reading some postgame stuff from last night, and Broxton wasn't available....He last pitched Monday night. Why would he not be available to go on 2 days rest?

Tonight is the only game I feel the Reds have the better pitcher going. If the Reds can win this one tonight I won't worry as much about the final two games of the series.

Latos has pretty bad numbers vs the Cardinals. Hopefully he is on his game.

Sharp money is on the Cards tonight.

If my memory serves me correctly he pitched 7 shutout innings against them in the 1st game after the All-Star game.

Sharp money stays in my bank account, and doesn't bet on baseball. :lol:
