Re: Picked Off vs CS

Correct if the runner makes a deliberate move to advance to the next base it would be considered a steal/ attempt to steal. Current pro ball usage allows for both picked off and caught stealing on the same play (even though it's not explicitly stated in the rules): Allen picked off and caught steal...

Re: Earned runs in ambiguous (to iScore) situations

[quote="Dkriesel"]I am currently trying to find out a better way. the only way is to review the scorecard and the pitching stats to see if it matches. If a player reaches base on an error, that would count as an unearned run. If they reach base by hit, walk, HBP then that is an earned run. In my ca...

Re: Question regarding force out

2 out, men on 1st and 2nd. Batter grounds to 2B who steps on 2nd for third out. I scored this way: In play Fielders Choice Hit location, grounder, 2B fielded ball What happened to runner on 2nd? (Safe at 3rd, advanced by batter) What happened to runner on 1st? (Out, force out) This seems correct, b...

Re: Loss or No Decision?

Agreed as well, even though it's a bad break for the starter to get charged with the loss for yielding run #2 and the successors allow even more runs.

Re: interesting earned run pitcher change scenario

Request for help from the experts. Here's the scenario: * Pitcher #3 in the game Batter 1 on base due to E6 Batter 2 on base due to BB * Pitcher #10 in the game Batter 3 on base due to FC. Runner on 1st out at 2nd. Runner on 2nd(E6 runner) advances to 3rd. So Batter 1(E6) on 3rd, Batter 3(FC) on 1s...

Re: Fielder's Choice

CS, I don't know softball rules at all, but is 14.4.1 intended to not give extra base hits when a fielder is throwing the ball to get a preceding runner? For example, a batter hits an apparent single to the outfield with a runner on second and the throw goes home allowing the batter to reach second...

Re: How to Score Obstruction

The only thing I would have done different would have been instead of tapping help up I would have tapped Safe, Third, Held Up - then the note. Doing it this way the score book shows the double and then AB1 (assuming this is the first batter.) Even though your method is before the next pitch it wil...

Re: Base Hit or Fielders Choice . . .

Am wondering if a sacrifice bunt can be properly credited if no baserunners advance. That is, with R2 and R3, and the batter bunts, reaches first safely but the runners hold (so bases are loaded). I'd be hard pressed to credit a sac bunt as no runners were advanced. Looking at NCAA scoring rule 14.8...

Re: Dropped fly ball in foul territory.

Actually, it depends on the league that you are scoring. High school and below, an error can only be officially recorded if a runner reaches an advancing base. Dropping a foul fly ball, is simply a foul ball OFFICIALLY, however a note of it can be made. ETA: Intrigued by what FTM told me about assi...
