Strikeout + Interference DP

Post by ETBill » Wed May 04, 2016 6:45 pm

I had this situation happen a couple of weeks ago. Runner on 1st. Runner goes with the pitch, batter strikes out but interferes with the throw to 2nd. Runner is called out due to Batter Interference on the throw. Is there a way to score this so that the interference, DP, and lack of CS is properly charged? I know if I do a K, what happened to runner?, Double Play then a CS will be charged...Per the comment in 2016 OBR 9.07h no CS should be charged here.

Thoughts on how to score this one? Or is it just score it as K, what happened? Out, offensive interference and manually add the DP in the stats?

I just tried this and got all the stats correct I think

R1 at first
Out, strike out .
Runner at 1? Out 2nd
2-4 Douple play.
You will get
CatCher = PO A DP CS
2nd = PO DP
r1 = CS
Batter = k

There should be no CS. Comment on OBR 9.07(h) "...The official scorer shall not charge any caught stealing when a runner is awarded a base due to obstruction or when a runner is called out due to interference by the batter..." (emphasis mine)

I was focused on the iscore entry and credits around a double play for "strike em out throw em out"- and I score seems to have all the credits covered. But what you are asking about is not the iscore entry but the interpretation and application of the MLB rules

In my opinion the question is about CS or DP. I would not enter it as a DP because it was aided by a misplay. entering then is straight forward- Strike out and r1 out at 2 by interference 2-4. (Now I would prefer iscore button here just said interference instead of runner interference but from a stat point all is correct because it asks you to tap the players involved).
