"Unwritten?" official scoring rules and interpretations   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #929 of 1357 |
Maybe I am not finding the right parts of the rule book, or not looking beyond
chapter 10, but there are a couple instances where I am wondering if the rules
are "understood" ;) by all.

1) When a ball goes through the fielder's legs, is this an automatic error. It
looked like Gregg Wong called Crede's hit through Beckham's legs a double at
first and then changed it to an error afterward. I wasn't at the game so maybe
Stew can tell what actually happened in the pressbox for that one.

2) If a fielder drops a ball that takes a bounce is there any way it can be
considered an error? Is this just an "extension" (sorry, that makes for overuse
of quotes I know) of the wild pitch/passed ball assumption of the ball being in
the dirt?

Thanks.

Kevin H.
