After a strike out when the drop-third-strike rule applies and the batter is safe on first, does the out count

the pitcher is credited with a strikeout, however the team batting is not charged with an out.  thus, a pitcher can have more than 3 strikeouts in a single inning!

It's not a run unless the bases were loaded.\n\nIn which case the player on third would score the run, not the batter getting the walk.

A game becomes "official" after the fifth inning is complete.  So, if the rain begins after the eighth inning is over but before the ninth inning begins, the officials can call the game and the team leading will be declared the winner.  However, if the inning has already begun then it must be finished.

this is called "throwing the ball around the horn".\nit's meant to be rejuvinating for the players in the field.\nit only happens when there are no runners on base.\nwhen the pitcher is doing well and striking out lots of batters, the fielders have a tendency to get bored, even tired faster.  so the catcher will throw the ball down to the third baseman (sometimes they throw the ball "around the horn" starting at first base) when there is a strikeout, and the third baseman throws it to the second baseman or the shortstop, depending on how that particular infield likes to do it.  if you pay close attention, you will notice that the first baseman is usually omitted from this ritual.\nwhen the infielders throw the ball "around the horn" after a strikeout, it only goes to one corner infielder and the two middle infielders.

It is a home run that ends the game.  The term "walk-off" comes from the days of Lou Gehrig.  After he hit a three-run home run to win a game for the Yankees his teammates walked-off the field, into the dug-out, and into the locker room.  They did this before rounding the bases and touching home plate.  All the runs were scored and the umpire called the game before Gehrig himself could even make his way to home.

This happens when the baseball player has the option of getting the out in multiple places.  For example, a ball is hit to the short stop and there was a man on first.  In this case, the short stop could throw the ball to second or first base and get the out.

SAVES FOR RELIEF PITCHERS \n10.20\nCredit a pitcher with a save when he meets all three of the following conditions: (1) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club; and (2) He is not the winning pitcher; and (3) He qualifies under one of the following conditions: (a) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; or (b) He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat, or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batsmen he faces); or (c) He pitches effectively for at least three innings. No more than one save may be credited in each game. \n\nIn your situation, it is because he pitched effectively for atleast 3 innings. Most saves are acquired in the 9th inning when the team is up by 3 runs or less and the "closer" shuts down the other team.

there are 27 outs in a game so conventionally it's 27, however, if on strike three the batter swings and misses and the ball gets passed the catcher, he can run to first and be safe although it still counts as a strikeout, there really is no set possibility.

Infield Fly Rule\nThe infield fly rule always seems to be a point of confusion for players, coaches, and parents watching a game. The purpose of the infield fly rule is to prevent a defensive team from purposely dropping or not catching an infield fly with the intention of trying to turn a double play.\n\nWhy we need the infield fly rule\nIf there was no infield fly rule, the following could happen: Runners are on first and second with less than 2 outs. Pop fly is hit to the third baseman. He intentionally drops the fly ball, picks it up, touches third and then throws to second for a double play. It's an easy double play because both runners are tagging up on their bases expecting the ball to be caught.\n\nWhen can the infield fly rule be called?\n\nLess than 2 outs. It's purpose is to prevent a double play. \nRunner on first and second, or bases loaded. (There must to be a force at third base)\nSo where's the confusion?\nAs usual, the confusion is in the details and the combination of things that can happen. One point of confusion is that many people mistakenly think that the infield fly rule applies when there is only a runner on first base. This isn't the case. When there is no force play at home or third, the only way to turn a double play, by intentionally dropping the ball, is if the batter doesn't run to first base. In this case the infield fly rule doesn't apply and the defensive team could turn a double play. I don't think anyone will feel bad for the batter in this scenario.\n\nSo now that we know the game situation that the infield fly rule can be called, let's move on to the call itself. The main thing to remember is that the infield fly rule is a judgment call by the umpire. If the umpire determines that a player can make the catch with ordinary effort, then he/she can apply the rule. After the ball is hit in the air, you should hear the umpire yell, "Infield fly, batter is out." If you don't hear the umpire yell that, then assume the rule doesn't apply. The rule is written to give the umpire the ability to determine whether to apply the rule or not. Here is an example when the rule may not applied by the umpire. Runners on first and second. The third baseman charges toward home on a bunt coverage. The batter swings away and pops the ball up by third base. The umpire determines that the ball cannot be caught with ordinary effort, so he says nothing. The infield fly rule is not applied and the third baseman can pick the ball off the ground (if he missed it) and touch third base for a force out if the runner hasn't made it to third yet. Make sure you and your players don't assume that the infield fly rule is automatically enforced based on the situation. It is still a judgment call by the umpire.\n\nAnother point of confusion (and this is confusing) has to do with the ball being fair or foul. For example, you could have the umpire call out "Infield fly, batter is out.", and then not have the batter be out. How can that happen? The infield fly rule only applies to a fair ball. So let's say a pop up is hit down the third base line. The umpire makes his call and then the ball drifts into foul territory. Whether the ball is caught or not, the infield fly rule no longer applies. So, if the ball is dropped by the third baseman in foul territory, it's simply a foul ball and the batter is still up. In this case, umpires are taught to yell, "Infield fly if fair". The umpire may mistakenly make the first call and just because he called the batter out, doesn't mean he is out in this situation. The correct call is simply a foul ball.\n\nA similar situation can happen if the ball hits in fair territory (before the bases) and then rolls foul (before being touched by a defensive player). You might see this on a pop-up to the catcher or pitcher. The ball is missed and the backspin takes the ball foul after it is missed. In this case just like

Baseball rules are tricky because there are so many ways to itterpret them. This is what I've figured out so far...\n\nIf the ball bounces infront or is nowhere near the plate, it is considered a wild pitch (And believe me, there are jokers out there who will swing at something like that if they think it'll get em to first).\n\nIf the ball is caught by the catcher, the batter is just out. If the catcher drops the ball, it is considered just a passed ball *UNLESS* it is a third strike and results in a base. In that case, it is indeed an error on the catcher.

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.

No but if the batter on deck is the tieing runn he would be eligible to get the save.\nTwodog read the rules  pasted them here for you.\n\nCredit a pitcher with a save when he meets all three of the following conditions: \n(1) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club; and\n(2) He is not the winning pitcher; and\n(3) He qualifies under one of the following conditions:\n(a) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; or\n(b) He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat, or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batsmen he faces); or\n(c) He pitches effectively for at least three innings. No more than one save may be credited in each game.

When keeping score on a scorecard, you simply put "SAC(then the number of fielder who caught it. EX: 7 is left fielder)"\n\nNo, it does not count as a time at bat.\n\nBase on balls and HBP also does not count as a time at bat.

The runner is out, with the putout going to the closest fielder, the batter is safe at first on a fielders choice.

Well, depending how theoretical you want to get.  There is an unenforced rule that a pitcher must throw a pitch within 20 seconds or a ball will be called.  He could do that 4 times, and a player would walk.  Then he could pick the player off.  The player would be out with 0 pitches.  Repeat 23 or 26 times, and you have a complete game without throwing a pitch.\n\nThe fact that the rule is not enforced is one problem with the scenario.  A player can also be out for changing which batter's box he stands in while the pitcher is ready to pitch.  So throw a few of those in there for variety's sake, and you get to 0 another way.

Unless the ball is ruled dead by the umpire, any runner can attempt to advance.  Since the batter was not entitled to try and advance, he would just be directed back to the batter's box to finish his at-bat.  If the catcher makes a throw to 1st base, it simply creates a better opportunity for the runner at 3rd to score.
