Score keeping question - fielders choice

What's on your mind?

by Sue Trubovitz, Turbo » Tue Apr 02, 2019 7:52 pm

Agree. Do something!

When defensive player becomes
uncertain & hesitant,
double or triple checking a runner that's only standing a few feet off third base is wasting time on getting the force out. Error

OP did comment this was a
routine grounder.
Hopefully
Routine Grounders = Outs

Ever notice.... anytime an on base runner taunt the defense into playing them versus playing the out and the batter gets on base...the team at bat has accomplished something.?!

Offense beating defense never good.

Heres another error!
or fielder choice?

Pop fly ball to the outfield.
Fielder runs to it,
Plenty of time,
Lets it drop.

Heres another situation

Runner on first.
Grounder to second baseman.
Hop turns pivot to throw to second
No one there,
Waits a moment for shortstop, realizes the runner is
going to be safe.
Finally throws to first late,
Batter is safe.

What goes in the book?

F4-E
Or
Players choice for opting to get the lead out and couldn't?

IMO
No play at 2nd base,
get the out at 1st immediatly.
Quick thinking, fast reaction.

Go defense!
Lets go Hit!

Think it's great to have different strategies. Some play cautious, some play on the attack.

If it ends up as all runners safe, then I would mark it as E F7/F8/F9, but if it ends up a force at 3 with R1 and R2 having to move, or DP at 3 and 2, I would credit the batter with a hit. The Fielder, most likely F7, knew what she was doing.

Fielder's choice on this one. I could see this happening with a slash on Wheel Play.
Very important to cover all possible situations and plays ;)

Another situation
for the thinking minds
of heybucket.

1 runner on second base.
Runner goes to steal.
Catcher fires to 3rd.
Overthrow to LF.
Runner heads home.
LF throws home.
Out is made.

How would that go
in your team book?

Is it fielders choice all the way
around on this play?
Or hmmm? Maybe not? ;)

CS 7-2, with a note explaining the overthrow to 3B. It would be a E2 if R would stay at 3B, but I give F2 the assist because she stayed with the play.
Fielder's choice only if the play is designed that way. For example if you have a runner on 3B, after the pitch, runner has a lead and F2 overthrows F5 who is on the bag (as decoy) and hits F6 behind 3B. F6 then throws to F2 for the out. The play is designed to trick R on 3B and maybe even 3B base coach.
