We had a scenario that happened to us a few weeks ago that I have never seen happen before.

Here it is....

One out with runners at 2nd and 3rd. ball is hit to center field and caught for the second out.

runner at second tags up and runs to third but is thrown out by the centerfielder.

the runner at third had already crossed the plate before the third out was made but DID NOT tag up so

the ball was thrown to third and the appeal was made and the umps called the runner out for the

fourth out.

OK...the question is if the team on the field did not appeal the runner not tagging at third and just settled for the

third out and went into the dugout what is the appropriate call from the umps if they know the runner did not tag?

Is this a true triple play?.......Can you have 4 outs in one inning?....what would have happened if the appeal was not made?

Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen before.

If NO appeal is made and the runner crossed the plate before the 3rd out then run scored . Yes you can have 4 outs in an inning.

Very impressive!  You must be hanging out with a better class of umpire lately.  ;D

I don't know about 4 outs in an inning, but I once saw 3 stolen bases on one play before.  ;D

Think we had a "You make the call" on something similar to this situation before. What I gathered from that thread is that a fielder should be in contact with 3rd base yelling appeal at some point before she receives the throw. Then apply the tag to the runner tagging from 2B.  Then let the umpires and coaches figure it out.

      Starting pitching has been shaky the last few weeks due to some injuries outside of Hagen Smith.  He goes tomorrow, so y’all should be fine

      West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin leaves Democratic Party, registers as independent

      By tvc184 · Posted

      Manchin may get it but any mention of the radical left that wanted to get rid of the filibuster and end almost 220 years of history because the Democrats are mad?  The House and Senate are obviously different legislative bodies with entirely different election processes and rules for a reason. The House can vote on laws with a simple majority vote. The Senate put rules in place that it would make it much tougher to pass laws. Laws should be difficult to pass. The Senate is often the holdup of the right and left. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster so any law will almost certainly require agreement at least in part, from opposing sides of an issue. Because they can’t get laws passed, the radical left is like a baby having a tantrum and wants to change over 200 years of history and make it potentially ridiculously easy to pass laws. I have seen current poll maps and it is possible for the Republicans to sweep into complete power in November but by the tiniest margin. That would possibly mean that a single vote margin in both houses could enact what you might call the radical right laws. There would be nothing that the Democrats could do to stop any legislation whatsoever if the left (they are all radical, minus Manchin) got their filibuster rule changed.  That is where the current filibuster comes into play as any new law would require several Democrats to agree with the majority Republicans and vice versa.  Do you want the potential for your radical right to have free rein as the radical left wants by killing the filibuster or is the radical left just as (if not more) dangerous? Let’s see if we have a history in this area? Oh yeah, the Democrats changed the rules in the Senate to allow federal judges to not have to overcome the filibuster. Obama was not getting his federal judge nominations passed and being angry, they changed the rules instead of nominating more moderate justices. They were warned that it would come back to bite them. They didn’t care and chose the nuclear option to change the rules. Oops! Any guess how Trump got all of his Supreme Court nominees passed against strong Democrat opposition? The Democrats got rid of the filibuster for federal judges after another tantrum   So when you are so worried about the radical right, are you equally concerned in what the radical left is always doing by changing rules and history which were put into place just for situations like we are in? So while Manchin gets it, what about his other 50 colleagues (49 + Harris)?  What concerns you more, Abbott and Paxton or the Democrats who want to make it to where if the Republicans do take over, they can go wild… at least in your mind?

      MODS please remove that ISD twitter link! I had no idea it would copy the whole posting. I only highlighted the portion about the venue change. Sorry about that!
