Stew had to rule on a play last Saturday that involved a strikeout and then a runner being thrown out after the ball eluded the catcher. To make things easier,...
Sometimes the only way to get confirmation is to have it happen and check with Elias Sports Bureau. I know what's in the rules and what's not in the rules....
This Saturday is our bi-monthly breakfast gathering. We will be at Bakers Square in Richfield (66th Street just east of Xerxes). Hope to see you there. Stew...
... Kevin replied that a trailing runner on a double or triple steal will get the credit for a stolen base, that it won't be defensive indifference. (By the...
It should be noted that I was never questioning the awarding of a SB to Harmon in those double/triple steal situations. I was only pointing out that a number...
Joe Christensen gives a favorable mention to our book in his StarTribune online column this week. To my knowledge, however, the book hasn't shown up in the...
Stew, How would you have ruled on Crawford's steal of third in the bottom of the 5th in his 6 sb game? How do you interpret considering the score and inning in...
... What were the circumstances? Usually, you see DI only on a runner going from first to second. I suppose I'd give him a steal of third because, other than...
Stew, Do you know when the term "defensive indifference" was added to the baseball scoring rules? Steve Smith Burnsville MN In a message dated 5/7/2009...

... The earliest rule book I have is 1965, and defensive indifference was in there with the same essential language as in the 2009 rules. I'll check Total...
That is interesting. I have been scoring games for nearly 50 years (and still have all my old scorecards) and I really don't recall the term defensive...
Maybe Stew and Kevin can help me with this. I attended the Rays - Indians game Thursday nite in Tampa. In the top of the first Cleveland had runners on first -...
Steve, Rule 10.07 (h) would seem to cover this situation. I think the logic is that since it wouldn't be a stolen base if he were safe, it shouldn't be a...
The Halsey Hall Chapter Book Club will meet Saturday, June 13, at the Har-Mar Barnes and Noble cafe to discuss Alan Barra's biography, Yogi Berra: Eternal...
Steve, If the runner goes (is attempting to steal) and the ball gets away from the catcher, it will still be a stolen base, not a wild pitch or passed ball,...
Even though pickoffs aren't official stats, we would announce a play in which the runner gets picked off and is put out trying to advance as a pick off-caught...
Kevin had another great game as official scorer today and this time didn't get reamed. Not that there is a relation between having a great game and getting...
The six wild pitches by Boston tonight tied a major-league record since 1900. The last time it happened was April 13, 1991 by the Angels. The date struck me...
