Place the Runner - Does that run count?

[johnnyg08]

R2, Pitch comes in and deflects off of F2 at home plate and the energy from the pitch and deflection cause the baseball to go into the third base dugout.  No additional energy was applied to the baseball that caused it to enter the third base dugout.

 

R2 comes around and scores.  

 

Any issues with this?  

[Tksjewelry]

Ball is dead once it enters the dugout. If the runner scores before ball becomes dead, score counts. Correct?

[basejester]

8-3

. . .

 

k.    Each runner is awarded one base if a pitch or any throw (e.g., a pick-off
attempt) by the pitcher from a pitching position on the pitching rubber goes
into the stands, bench or other dead-ball territory, is intentionally touched
by a spectator or lodges in an umpire’s or catcher’s equipment other than a
glove;

[basejester]

R2 gets third base, IMHO.

 

Same in OBR.  7.05 (h) in OBR.

Well, allow me to introduce this:

I worked my first college game with the guy in "C" position. I'd recognize that caboose anywhere. Hahaha.

[basejester]

I think they kicked the call.

[Haid D' Salaami]

Is this game going on right now? like today? I wonder who the PU is.... someone needed to come in and talk about the placement of the runners

[bam]

How does THAT happen? 

[noumpere]

It won;t be the last time a relatively simple rule is kicked this season.

[VAUmp]

R2 to Third

[VAUmp]

The entire crew kicked the $h!+ out of that one.

Oops.

Did the DC even question it???? 

[Jimurray]

I guess that question wasn't on their test.

This is PROOF POSITIVE of what I say a LOT during any "rules" discussion here on this board .....

 

95% of the people you're dealing with don't know the rules.(this goes for any level)   Let's add "Wright State" to the list ......

 

Make a ruling, sell it .....it's done

[GerryB]

Ow. That was on my test.

Ha! Funny watching R2 at the pitch trying to see around him!

My son is in the band - one of the kids that did the "awsh*&" move. According to him the official band position is that the kick was good.

Or Murray State. 

 

I'm not going to throw stones because I've messed up a rule before, but this one is pretty damn simple. If you're one of the base umpires and know the rule, come in and help so you get it right. 

 

By the way, I don't like the "Well the teams didn't question it so they don't know the rules either" argument. It's our job, we should know the rules better than they do.
