Pitcher fakes a throw to 2b and SS. 2b, and CF all fake dive for the ball. Runner is tricked to thinking the ball is in the out field and runs to 3rd only to be tagged out.

That is perfectly legal, and done often. Watch the "cut-off man" fake a catch on an outfield return, it's the same thing. Base runners have to watch where the ball is , not the actions of the defense. That is why base coaches are allowed on the field of play. \n\nRemember though, a "fake tag" is considered to be obstruction, thus not allowed.

The play stands, by Rule 7.05 (c & e):\n\nEach runner including the batter runner may, without liability to be put out, advance-\n\n(c) Three bases, if a fielder deliberately throws his glove at and touches a fair ball. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril.\n\n(e) Two bases, if a fielder deliberately throws his glove at and touches a thrown ball. The ball is in play; In applying (b c d e) the umpire must rule that the thrown glove or detached cap or mask has touched the ball. There is no penalty if the ball is not touched. Under (c e) this penalty shall not be invoked against a fielder whose glove is carried off his hand by the force of a batted or thrown ball, or when his glove flies off his hand as he makes an obvious effort to make a legitimate catch.

The situation might change. For instance, if there is only one runner on third base and the pitcher balks, there is suddenly nobody on base. There isn't much reason to intentionally walk a guy at that point. Other than that, I can't really imagine a time when you might do this.

They are negated, a game and it's accompaning stats are not official until after the fifth inning.\nI hope that helps.

baseball............ the pitcher adjusts his cap, runs his finger over his brow, adjusts his crotch, looks in for the sign, shakes off the first sign, throws over to first to keep the runner close. the batter adjusts his batting glove , pulls on his pants, knocks the dirt off his cleats, digs in, practice swings to get his timing and finally the pitcher throws the ball and its outside for ball one, repeat process. Slow?, my pet snail can slime a hundred feet out before the pitcher FINALLY throws a pitch

Yeah, it was a bad call, a very bad call in the eighth inning.  Even Stevie Wonder would have been able to see that.  This is another example why baseball needs instant replay, that call wouldn't have been reversed if there had been replay.  Japan should boycott.

This may be weak, but here goes.  Bases loaded, batter hits up the middle but three runners run outside the base path? or possibly three runners interfere with the infielders?

it depends on the discretion of the official scorer.  if the SS goes deep into the hole and tries a force at second and he is safe, the scorer can credit the batter with a hit if he feels the batter would have been safe anyway.  but say a guy grounds to third and the runner was stealing, the third baseman tries to get him at second anyway and he is safe, he would be creditd with a fielder`s choice.

It's 2 for 3, the error doesn't count as a bas hit but his at bat count. So it'ld be .667\n\nErrors and fielder's choices are not included in times reached base safely, because they caused or should have caused an out.

torontopartyguy...correct, the batter cannot run on a dropped third strike if first base is occupied...AND there are less than two outs.  With two outs the batter can run to first on a dropped third strike even if it is occupied...\nThe thing is, if the bases were loaded, the catcher would merely have to step on home plate to complete the force play there rather than risk chucking the ball into right field.

This is an unusual situation but this is how it is handled.  All of the runs that the reliever gives up are earned for the reliever.  However, in the official team stats, the runs are recorded as unearned.  This doesn't happen often but that is how the stats are recorded.

the runner on third can tag up if the ball is caught, but if the fielder is in foul territory and he drops the ball in foul territory, then its a foul ball, but even if the fielders toe is in fair territory when he drops the ball, then its a fair ball.

I know this one.\n\nSwing the baseball bat three times. You are not going to hit any ball, so that makes 3 strikes and you're OUT.

It seems that the skycam operator is instructed to keep the camera behind the ball.  And if it happens they have a replay.  Definitely check out my source.

yes.  relief pitcher comes in, picks runner off for 3rd out.  team goes ahead in the bottom of the during which he is pinch hit for.  he is pitcher of record on the winning side without ever throwing a pitch.
