In a Rotisserie League, fantasy teams are ranked from first to last in each of several statistical categories. Points are then awarded according to the order of finish in each category, and are totalled to determine an overall score and place. \nSo, if you are in a 12-team league, the team with the most home runs will receive 12 points, the team with the second most will receive 11 points, etc. In the case of a tie, each team involved receives an average of the total points due -- i.e., in the above example, if two teams were tied for first in homers, each would receive 11.5 points [(12 + 11) / 2 = 11.5]. \n\nTherefore, the maximum number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories within a league multiplied by the number of teams in the league. Similarly, the lowest number of points that a team can earn is equal to the number of scoring categories multiplied by one, which is the lowest score that can be achieved in any category. \n\nSo, if you were playing in a league with 12 teams and 12 scoring categories, the lowest point total possible is 12 [12 * 1 = 12] and the highest is 144 [12 * 12 = 144]. \n\nRankings within the individual scoring categories (HR, RBI, etc.) are based on the cumulative stats earned by all active players during the season and not on any individual day or game. \n\nTherefore, the overall ranking of your team will rise and fall depending on how it performs relative to the performance of other league members. So, the phenomenon of "losing points" can be explained as your rank falling in one or more of the statistical categories used in your league.

This travesty is one of the few that still remain in sports today.  The league has cracked down on the changing strike zone and I know this will be worked on next year.  You are right on, though, it is a joke and a pity that they won't start making the call as it should be made as they do in all other levels of the sport!  Great question!

No! After he contacts the ball, one or both feet can come crashing down on the plate provided neither foot was touching the ground outside the batters box during his hitting of the ball.\n\nMLB rule 6.06\nA batter is out for illegal action when --\n(a) He hits a ball with one or both feet on the ground entirely outside the batter’s box.\nRule 6.06(a) Comment: If a batter hits a ball fair or foul while out of the batter’s box, he shall be called out. \n\n\nIf a batter, batting from the right side of the plate, steps on home plate to intentionally interfere with the catcher attempting to make a play on his hit ball, the batter will be called out for interference, not because he stepped on home plate but because he caused interference by not running directly to first base.\n\nIf you are asking a trick question, :) the answer is still no, stepping on home plate to complete an inside the park home run is required.

A walk doesn't count as an "at bat" so it is neutral with respect to the batting average.  However, if you walk and a run scores because the bases were loaded, you still get credit for an RBI.  So in this scenario, you can get an RBI even though you didn't have an official "at bat."\n\nClear as mud?

1-both players just leave for some stupid reason,\n2-2nd base ppl dont touch home plate or 3rd base, \n3-the batter doesnt touch one of the plate, \n4-batter passes the 2nd base ppl. \n5-cant think of one,,, umm,,, they all die!

It is 0, the runner must make it to first base safely without any other outs recorded to have any of the runs coun, very nice question, and the guy a few questions up read it wrong, two outs stop all preceding runs\n\n7.12 Unless two are out, the status of a following runner is not affected by a preceding runner's failure to touch or retouch a base. If, upon appeal, the preceding runner is the third out, no runners following him shall score. If such third out is the result of a force play, neither preceding nor following runners shall score.

The runner is out.  Rule 7.09 (d)Before two are out and a runner on third base, the batter hinders a fielder in making a play at home base; the runner is out
251925
A runner is NOT out if the ball first passes a fielder who has had a chance at fielding the ball.  The ball is alive and in play.

It goes to the first pitcher, in this case, but not always.  The official rule is 10.18(h):\n\nA relief pitcher shall not be held accountable when the first batter to whom he pitches reaches first base on four called balls if such batter has a decided advantage in the ball and strike count when pitchers are changed.\n\n(1) If, when pitchers are changed, the count is\n2 balls, no strike, \n2 balls, 1 strike, \n3 balls, no strike, \n3 balls, 1 strike, \n3 balls, 2 strikes,\n\nand the batter gets a base on balls, charge that batter and the base on balls to the preceding pitcher, not to the relief pitcher.\n\n(2) Any other action by such batter, such as reaching base on a hit, an error, a fielder's choice, a force out, or being touched by a pitched ball, shall cause such a batter to be charged to the relief pitcher.

you get a single but your out at second so obviously no double.  it was a hit but you took a risk went for two got caught when you could have stoped and stayed at first with a "long single"  although if your hitting balls off the wall and not getting to second you need to be doing sprints not wondering if youget a hit for that AB. obviously though you are out and are therefore not a runner anymore

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.

No the out cannot be called at this point. The appeal for not retagging has to be made before a pitch is thrown to the next batter.

These answers are all so ignorant. In a perfect game, not a single person can get on base in any way whatsoever.  Walk, error, hit the catchers glove, whatever. The second anyone gets on base, the perfect game is over, even if he is whiped out by a double play.

Your scenario may be a bit toward the improbable side of the spectrum. However, if the pitcher isn't paying attention and time out isn't called, then the runner can steal second. Often times, when a player steals home, it is because the pitcher isn't paying attention, so it is possible to steal a base without a pitch. Then, when the pitcher actually makes a pitch, the runner can steal third. That would be 2 steals in one play.\nI guess you could try to stretch that out further and make it three steals in one play, but that would be incredibly improbable.

It is HBP, and the ball is instantly dead. The count doesn't matter at the time. It's not a ball until the umpire calls it a ball, and he won't call it that because it hit the batter before it could get to the catcher.

If a batted ball contacts a base umpire while in fair territory, it can be one of two things;\n\n1. If it has passed an infielder, (other than the pitcher) or has touched a fielder (including the pitcher), ball is live play on.\n\n2. If it has not passed an infielder, or another fielder has a possible play, the ball becomes dead, the batter is awarded first base, and any other runners would advance one base only if forced to do so.
