#1 - I choose D, because it could literally go either way on any given play, but umpires will tell you there is no such thing as a tie going to either one. They call it how they hear the two different sounds (ball hitting glove, foot hitting bag) on a bang-bang play. If it's literally a tie they make a judgment call. I wouldn't be surprised though if statistically, a tie goes to the runner a majority of the time. Sometimes though, an umpire knows he missed a call earlier in the game, and in that case he may call the tie play as needed to make-up the mistake. They'll never admit to that though.

#2 - There's a stipulation in this rule about the number of strikes in the count, but I forget the exacts. So I say C.

#3 - A

#4 - B

#5 - I say B but I'm not 100% positive

Perfect

Next one: How many ways can a batter reach first base? (HS and above baseball rules, not little league or softball.)

(There are nine)

 

[Oddball]

1) H
2) BB
3) HBP
4) E
5) K but catcher fails to catch the 3rd strike and doesn't throw out the batter.
6) Catcher interference.
7) Fielder's choice in forcing out the lead runner.
8) Fan interference.
9) "Roof rule" double - Invented in Minneapolis on a huuuuge pop-up by Dave Kingman.

9) "Roof rule" double - Invented in Minneapolis on a huuuuge pop-up by Dave Kingman.

First six are correct. Eight is incorrect, nine, is a ground rule double. The question was nine ways to reach first base (and I think that first happened in Seattle at the Kingdom).

8. Batter hits ball which strikes a base runner, ball is dead, batter awarded first base.
9, Batter has 3 ball count, pitcher goes to his mouth while on the rubber - balk, penalty is one ball. Better goes to first on balk.

 

[Oddball]

You can't get to second without reaching first safely.

I guess there are more than nine ways.

A foul tip is also when a catchers catches that goes without saying if he does not catch its a foul ball.

Hands are not part of the bat its a myth when you drop the bat your hands do not drop to
the ground now do they?
1. right
2. right but added more information to it
3. wrong

Howd I do! Howd I do!!!

1. Umpire either knows he safe or out. no such thing as tie
2. There a reason people call foul tip and foul ball are diffrent. it goes without saying a foultip is goes to catchers glove sharply if he does not hold onto it its a foul ball.
3. Correct
4. correct
5. correct

 

[Paulie]

Luissa you did pretty bad on this for having been an umpire in ballgames.

I hope you weren't umping home or first.

To be fair, I got #2 wrong. I could have sworn there was a stipulation involving the count.

to be fair Luissa is a softball umpire so there rules are different compare to baseball.

on a foultip if runners steals on the pitch and batter tips the ball and catchers catchs it its alive ball no matter 2-2 0 outs or 1 out. if its two outs the batter is retired and runner can't advance caue that was the last out. of the innning.
