Why do you always have to prince about on the board? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 01/25/2017 11:08AM

Yeah it seems like 2 wouldn't be fielders choice -- Manbearpig 01/25/2017 09:22AM
No, the fielder is showing indifference to the runner going to first and -- BG Hokie 01/25/2017 09:30AM
I thought fielder's choice requires a throw to get out a forced runner -- Manbearpig 01/25/2017 09:27AM
The fielder (pitcher) chose not to throw him out. It's assumed he could -- hoosnowahokie 01/25/2017 09:27AM
That is just an error then IMO -- Manbearpig 01/25/2017 09:29AM

No, a fielder's choice doesn't have to be a force play. Think about the -- BG Hokie 01/25/2017 09:38AM
Even without force an attempt to put out another runner has to be made? -- Manbearpig 01/25/2017 09:42AM
In that rule, (c) covers the situation we're talking about.** -- BG Hokie 01/25/2017 09:44AM
C is referencing an undefended steal, how is giving a hit the same thing? -- Manbearpig 01/25/2017 09:55AM
I presume the parentheses to represent an example but I agree it muddies -- BG Hokie 01/25/2017 10:01AM

That's why it's a thinking man's game -- TomTurkey 01/25/2017 09:00AM
That is correct, and yes it is screwy. But, so is the sacrifice fly. -- UEMcGill 01/25/2017 08:26AM
You're wrong about sacrifice flys -- vtbones 01/25/2017 09:15AM
Nope. It is possible on a ground out. Runner on third, obviously . . . -- UEMcGill 01/25/2017 10:57AM
Nope. You're wrong and your understanding of baseball is wrong. ** -- vtbones 01/25/2017 12:22PM
