Question

Posted

I just picked up a 1985 copy of Joe Brinkman's book and one question has me very confused:

Bases loaded two outs and batter hits a home run. How many runs score in the following situations:

A) R2 misses 3rd and is called out on appeal.

B) R2 is called out for missing home plate

C) R1 is called out on appeal for missing 3rd base

D) R1 is called out on appeal for missing home plate.

E) B/R is called out for missing 2nd base

F) The B/R is called out for missing first base.

Answers  0,1,2,2,3,0

I thought that in an appeal situation with 2 outs an appeal on a force would negate all runs. Which is why I put down 0 for every situation except for E so I guess I am wrong.

Can someone please explain the logic/reasoning to all of these situations?

Thanks.

You're right about why A and F are 0.  In B, C, and D, though, the appealed base is not the one the runner is forced to, so preceding runs score.

Also consider this; OBR vs FED base runner designations are reversed. The only one that is the same is the Batter/Runner and possibly R2.  

 This is another example of why it would be a good thing to make these rule book designations consistent.

AINT THAT RIGHT VOLUMP !!! :D
