I was really only "pretty sure" on the bunt not an infield fly rule. Had a clue on the hits fielder's glove THEN hits runner rule. Lucky guess on #3. :P

Do runners still have to tag up before advancing if a bunted infield fly is caught? Because if so it seems like a stupid idea not to have the infield fly rule apply there as well. It is almost guaranteeing that bunted infield flys with men on base are automatic double/triple plays.

Is this #6 you're talking about? Cause I don't think that's what that scenario is saying. I read it as just saying the ball gets by the fielder and then hits the runner...doesn't necessarily hit off his glove. I definitely didn't know the rule on that one, assuming I'm reading it right.

They deserve the double play for not being able to bunt and/or bunting with 1st and 2nd and no outs.

I had a feeling you would do well. :)
Tied with JJ Hardy on the list of players Jayson got to take the quiz ;)

Brad Ziegler got all 10.

Don't discount the possibility that with all true-false answers a chicken pecking at a list would get 50% right, and you have about a 1% chance of getting seven in a row by dumb luck.

I had a fairly high confidence in many of my answers, but I might take the same quiz again and not get seven right.

6 out of ten for me. Says that the average score is 38%, so it seems that most of the answers are counter-intuitive. In the interests of full disclosure, two of my correct answers were based on reasoning that was actually the opposite of the true reasoning behind the answer. Ah well, I hereby stand against my post backwards so that you can all pat me on the back anyway.

4 out of 10. I second-guessed a couple of these, and a few were eye-openers. I'd like to see #2 happen sometime when a guy on 3rd trips and twists his ankle running home on a base hit in the gap, so the guy on second picks him up and carries him home. :)

He would probably just stop on a base to be safe. We'd probably see it happen for the first time on a home run of some sort.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      By Flash- bd · Posted

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
