  2. Vidor's new field turf?

    in SETXsports Archived Threads

    Posted

    actually, I have seen several fields with artificial turf only on the sidelines.  Stallworth Stadium in Baytown had it for years before putting turf on the whole field.  There is definately one area of the field guaranteed to have a ton of traffic every game night and that is the sideline.  One rain game screws up the sideline for weeks.

    Chaz,

    you were obviously taught to appreciate the people who have helped you as well as appreciate and respect the game of baseball.  Congratulations to you and good luck in your future endeavors.  The lessons of the diamond will serve you well throughout your life.  I am reminded of the quote by former MLB pitcher Jim Bouton, "You see, you spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time."

    If I had not been there, I too would wonder how we made 4 outs at home. But because I was there and saw them all up close and personal, odds are more than on your side to score at least one of those runs.  As an earlier poster noted, we were a bit short on luck and when you play good teams, no matter how good you are, you need a little luck.  Luck has a way of evening out and I like our chances tomorrow! 8)

    You nailed it, etbu.  Gerrry Hunsicker was/is a baseball guy and the Astros were always competitive and the farm system was productive.  What has he done since we cut him loose?  Hmmmm, took the Tampa Bay Rays organization that has been dead in the water for it's entire history and climbed into the World Series with a bunch of kids! I am afraid Wade will continue to sign over-the-hill free agents for too much money and too little contributions. >:(

    I have been all over the internet looking for a clarification of the scoring rule.  There are several interpretations that can be found defending either side.  This came from the Major League Baseball rule book.  This is not meant to belabor the argument because Tuesday night's game was brilliantly pitched from both teams and it is all academic at this point.  Good luck to the Cardinals and Bears the rest of the season.

    Directly from the rule book

    10.05 Base Hits

    A base hit is a statistic credited to a batter when such batter reaches base safely, as set forth in this Rule 10.05.

    (a) The official scorer shall credit a batter with a base hit when:

    (1) the batter reaches first base (or any succeeding base) safely on a fair ball that settles on the ground, that touches a fence before being touched by a fielder or that clears a fence;

    (2) the batter reaches first base safely on a fair ball hit with such force, or so slowly, that any fielder attempting to make a play with the ball has no opportunity to do so;

    Rule 10.05(a)(2) Comment: The official scorer shall credit a hit if the fielder attempting to handle the ball cannot make a play, even if such fielder deflects the ball from or cuts off another fielder who could have put out a runner.

    (3) the batter reaches first base safely on a fair ball that takes an unnatural bounce so that a fielder cannot handle it with ordinary effort, or that touches the pitcher's plate or any base (including home plate) before being touched by a fielder and bounces so that a fielder cannot handle the ball with ordinary effort;

    (4) the batter reaches first base safely on a fair ball that has not been touched by a fielder and that is in fair territory when the ball reaches the outfield, unless in the scorer's judgment the ball could have been handled with ordinary effort;

    (5) a fair ball that has not been touched by a fielder touches a runner or an umpire, unless a runner is called out for having been touched by an Infield Fly, in which case the official scorer shall not score a hit; or

    (6) a fielder unsuccessfully attempts to put out a preceding runner and, in the official scorer's judgment, the batter-runner would not have been put out at first base by ordinary effort.

    Rule 10.05(a) Comment: In applying Rule 10.05(a), the official scorer shall always give the batter the benefit of the doubt. A safe course for the official scorer to follow is to score a hit when exceptionally good fielding of a ball fails to result in a putout.

    (B) The official scorer shall not credit a base hit when a:

    (1) runner is forced out by a batted ball, or would have been forced out except for a fielding error;

    (2) batter apparently hits safely and a runner who is forced to advance by reason of the batter becoming a runner fails to touch the first base to which such runner is advancing and is called out on appeal. The official scorer shall charge the batter with a time at bat but no hit;

    (3) pitcher, the catcher or any infielder handles a batted ball and puts out a preceding runner who is attempting to advance one base or to return to his original base, or would have put out such runner with ordinary effort except for a fielding error. The official scorer shall charge the batter with a time at bat but no hit;

    (4) fielder fails in an attempt to put out a preceding runner and, in the scorer's judgment, the batter-runner could have been put out at first base; or

    Rule 10.05(B) Comment: Rule 10.05(B) shall not apply if the fielder merely looks toward or feints toward another base before attempting to make the putout at first base.

    (5) runner is called out for interference with a fielder attempting to field a batted ball, unless in the scorer's judgment the batter-runner would have been safe had the interference not occurred
