| Posted | Discussion |
| July 20 5-RBIS Men's 65 12 posts | 1] Batter hits one of those spinning pop ups between the pitcher and catcher, neither can make the catch. They decide to let it roll into foul territory. While rolling foul it hits the bat that the batter has thrown in front of the plate and the ball stops in fair territory? Batter interference? Or fair ball? 2] Same situation, only this time instead of hitting the ground first , the spinning pop up as it comes down hits the bat first and remains in fair territory. Whats the call? 3] Man on third no outs, batter hits a fly ball to the outfield which is caught, guy on third tags , heads for home , outfielder makes a great throw to the plate which would easily beat the runner, but the throw hits the bat that the batter runner has thrown in front of the plate and bounces away from the catcher, and the man from third crosses the scoring line. Interference? does the run score? Is the batter runner safe or out? |

| July 22 Joncon 328 posts | 1. & 2 fair ball UNLESS the ump feels like the batter placed the bat to intentionally block the ball. It would have to be pretty obvious though. 3. Safe. I have seen a few people obviously do this on purpose but you would NEVER get that call. The catcher has time to move the bat....he should have done so. |
