Larry is the DH for the pitcher. In the fourth inning, the coach decides to have the pitcher bat for himself. In the sixth inning, the coach decides to have Larry bat for the pitcher again. Before a pitch is thrown to Larry, the defense appeals. a. Since the defense appealed before a pitch was thrown, the offensive team may replace Larry without penalty b.Once Larry is removed from the DH's role, he may subsequently return to the game but only as a pitcher. c.Larry is ejected but is not called out. His substitute will assume Larry's position at the plate. d.Larry is called out and disqualified from the game. I say b is a true statement but not sure its the correct answer.....

Does the catcher have to make a throw or no to get the batter interference call? 6.3b does not say either way. Also looked at 6.2 d (2) and its not clear. Help please.....thx

b 8.5 e

John I don't think its 7.11 p. I was at 5.3 (2). Interference after the runner was already retired. I just don't know which answer is best?

The score is tied. The pitcher walks the first batter in the 5th inning. The coach goes to the mound and brings in F3 to pitch and moves the pitcher to first base. The new pitcher (original first baseman) gets the next two batters out on strikes. The coach returns to the mound and has the pitcher (relief pitcher) and first baseman (original pitcher) change positions again. The pitcher (pitcher who started the inning) walks the first hitter he faces. Now, the coach returns to the mound and has the same two switch positions for the third time. Legal moves. The coach is charged with two trips and the pitcher who started the inning is no longer eligible to return to the mound in this game. b The second pitching change is not allowed. A relieved pitcher, who remains in the game, is not allowed to return to pitch in the same inning that he was replaced. If the coach insists, he will be warned and then ejected. c. These moves are legal. The coach has not been charged with any trips since he made pitching changes each time that he went to the mound. The pitcher who started the inning but was replaced for a second time, is no longer able to pitch in this game. He may; however, stay in the game at another defensive position. d Perfectly legal. The coach has been charged with one trip and the pitcher who started the inning can return to pitch in a future inning. I think it’s A or C…..not sure. Help please. R3, one out. F3 fields a fair bouncing ball just inside the foul line, steps on the bag to retire the batter-runner, then fires the ball home in an attempt to retire R3. His throw strikes the helmet of the batter-runner, who is running outside the runner's lane. a. Once a batter-runner is retired, he can no longer be guilty of interfering with a thrown ball. b. The batter-runner is guilty of interference since he must have both feet on or over the three-foot restraining line. R3 is returned to third base. c.. The play stands since the batter-runner did nothing intentionally to interfere with F3's throw. d. Interference should be called on the batter-runner but R3's run scores since the out recorded by F3 was an intervening play. Larry is the DH for the pitcher. In the fourth inning, the coach decides to have the pitcher bat for himself. In the sixth inning, the coach decides to have Larry bat for the pitcher again. Before a pitch is thrown to Larry, the defense appeals. a. Since the defense appealed before a pitch was thrown, the offensive team may replace Larry without penalty. b. Once Larry is removed from the DH's role, he may subsequently return to the game but only as a pitcher. c.. Larry is ejected but is not called out. His substitute will assume Larry's position at the plate. d.. Larry is called out and disqualified from the game.

Thanks Jeff.

R1 and R2, no outs. The umpires fail to call an obvious infield fly. The ball drops and the base runners are attempting to advance. a. If the defense records a double play, call "time!" and nullify the double play. However, allow the batter to keep first base since his batted ball was not caught before it hit the ground. b. After calling "time!" award the batter first base since the ball dropped and advance the other runners one base since they are forced to advance. c. The play will stand as it happens. The batter remains at first base. Any outs made on any base runner will stand. d. Call time and declare the batter out. Nullify any outs made on the base runners who advanced because they thought they were forced to advance because the ball dropped and no "infield fly" call was made. Return the base runners to the bases they occupied at the time of the pitch.

Help please..... Should I assume that the on deck hitter is in the on deck circle which would only mean 1 base for R1 once the ball thrown by the pitcher enters dead ball territory? R1, one out. The pitcher delivers a wild pitch that rolls toward the offensive team's dugout. The on-deck hitter, obviously unaware of the situation, is accidentally struck by the ball, which stops rolling after the contact.
