Hint


  The key to this, and in many situations, is the position of the runners/or batter at the time of the pitch.

Runner had yet to get to 2nd base

The #Giants make official that two-time Super Bowl winner Chris Snee is now a "senior scout" in the personnel department. The team says he will be "involved in both college and pro scouting."

"I'm super excited about it," Snee said. "I'm a Giant, and I always have been, despite having worn Jaguars clothes for four years when I scouted down there. Everyone knows my heart has always been here. This is where I feel like I belong and where I want to be, and I'm going to come in and work my tail off."

Quote from: LennG on May 09, 2024, 08:42:11 PMIn this movie you see, while the Beatles are performing on the roof, some London policemen come a calling. In the other movie, Get Back, they explain the reason for them being there. Since this performance on the roof really wasn't planned that way. They got up there and started singing and playing. One lady who lived right there called the police complaining all the noise was ruining her afternoon nap. The Bobby came up and was sort of ushered away. He called his sergeant and then several Bobbies came up there to investigate this unannounced concert. It was very funny, the legendary Beatles were performing and the police wanted to intervene because some woman's nap time was being disturbed.

I've seen that rooftop performance a few times. Something a lot of people miss, is Lennon forgetting his words and covering with some babble and the other guys look at him and smirk because they know what just happened...LOL

A) If the shoe fits... B) It had nothing to with you no matter how you may choose to read it. C) It still applies to those for whom it was and is directed who quite obviously aren't bothered in the least by it.

Is that clear enough?

Cheers!

Quote from: Ed Vette on May 09, 2024, 09:39:01 PMBatter is safe at first because it's the catcher's responsibility to catch the ball and throw tue runner out at FB but it becomes a dead ball so the  base runner can only advance to Second Base. Now Base Runners at first and second.

I agree; however, if he had already stolen 2nd base, he would be awarded 3rd. Most likely though, he had yet to reach 2nd with the passed ball, so he'd probably be forced back to 2nd. Truth is, I don't know. I played baseball in H.S. and in college, and I know that I am always trying to figure out a rule when something happens that's out of the ordinary. Hell, even professional umps in MLB have to gather together to figure out a rule now and then
