ASA Overthrow out of play

[Gamble]

Have a Sundrop riding on this...

Batter nubs a swinging bunt, catcher fields it, lobster it down to 1b and it gets away. Ball slowly rolls along the grass, before rolling out of play as the BR is 3/4 of the way to 2nd.

What base is he awarded?

 

[Comp]

2nd base. 2 bases from the time of the throw.

And I won a Sundrop.

2nd base. .

 

[rhound50]

Two bases from when the ball was thrown. Survey says 2nd base.

Infield fly.
















Just kidding. Runner gets second. Enjoy your Sundrop.

 

[rhound50]

Infield fly.

Can't be infield fly. The ball landed on the grass

 

[IrishBlue]

Clarification

What direction was the runner facing?




















Yep, second base.

Outfield Fly. Batter is out, runners advance at their own risk.

Well, besides the fact it is impossible to have a "swinging bunt", it is always two bases from the runner's position at the time of the throw

Yes, I concur, do you concur? Doctor? .... Sorry, Just a +1 to post count, and now I want a Sundrop.

And I'd bet another Sundrop you know exactly what that refers to. Even your crotchety ass knows it's a REAL common colloquialism in ballparks from coast to coast.

So you suggest we perpetuate ignorance through recognition? Yeah, that has really helped this world and the people in it.

It's pretty easy, you type "lobs" on an Android phone and it decides you really meant "lobster".

I hope you're this pedantic about facial tissue and hook and loop fasteners.

Fine, have it your way. "Batter swung real hard and missed hitting the ball cleanly, causing it to travel disproportionately to the swing, landing less than six feet in front of the plate in an embarrassing fashion, as though he had just squared around and bunted." You're right, that was SO much better for conveying exactly the same thing everyone understood.

This is basically what the catcher did.
