Nineteen Ways to Score from Third Base

by ploni on Jun 5, 2007 3:43 PM EDT

I remember hearing once about the nineteen ways a runner can score from third base: base hit, sacrifice fly, wild pitch, passed ball, stolen base, . . . but I can't seem to recall the others.

I don't remember the source and my search online at baseball-almanac.com and other sites came up short. Is this total correct? Has anyone else heard of this? Can you guys help me finish this list?

Re: Nineteen Ways to Score from Third Base

No I haven't.

My dad always does that puzzle where, ummm.

Hmm you get like 4 triples in an inning, no pickoffs or something, and no runs score.

It's confusing and I'm not doing it justice. The 'trick' is that you can get guys out by hitting players with a batted ball.

Or something. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Re: Nineteen Ways to Score from Third Base

I believe it was the LCS the year the Sox won the series (yuck). K-Rod's on the mound in the ninth, pitching to Pierzynski with I believe a one-run lead. Pierzynski swings at strike three & gets rung up, Josh Paul throws the ball back towards the mound & the Angels start to leave the field.. but Pierzynski takes off for first. After much argument, he gets awarded the base, though replays were pretty inconclusive as to whether Paul had held onto the ball or not.

Catcher's interference is an error. I think fan interference is basically the same as a ground-rule double.

Re: Nineteen Ways to Score from Third Base

I don't think fan interference applies here.

If it was a foul ball, and the fan interferes, it is still a foul ball. You cannot award home on it.

If it was a fair ball, the runners are allowed their "respective" bases that the ump deems they normally would have had.

by talonk on Jun 5, 2007 4:17 PM EDT up reply actions

Re: Nineteen Ways to Score from Third Base

Yes, I was thinking the same. The fair ball version of this is a ground rule double. Everything else is an out... I think. Is it ruled that way if a fan touches a ball and its questionable whether the defender would have been able to make the out?

Re: Nineteen Ways to Score from Third Base

Here is the one way that the run could be scored via interference I think:

1. Runner on third, one out, batter hits fly ball to the outfield on which the runner scores but catcher's interference was called. The offensive manager may elect to take the run and have batter called out or have runner remain at third and batter awarded first base.

But this would be scored as a sac fly I think.

The list of "heart of baseball philosophy" is hilarious.

A lot of those are just errors. This is really a semantic argument at this point. But I can't see what the point is in differentiating:

A hard hit ground ball through the infield and directly in front of an outfielder.

from

A short line drive or a bloop single just over the infield.

???

Still, that list is awesome:

They never beat themselves.
Their pre-game infield practice is really impressive.
They really play with a great deal of pride.

It looks like "obstruction" is when a fielder hinders a baserunner. It might be remembered as "defensive interference."

I think that a force play could be a pick off. Technically, a runner could be picked off thrid and still score without a defensive error.

Re: Nineteen Ways to Score from Third Base

You have fielder's choice and sac bunt, but not plain old groundout. That is a separate one.

There is a new rule this year that says if a player catches a foul ball and his feet end up in the dugout, all baserunners automatically advance one base.

Re: Nineteen Ways to Score from Third Base

As to this "new rule," I seem to remember Casey Blake catching a foul pop in Boston last week with no out and the bases loaded (Mastny was pitching in the seventh inning, I believe - it was Byrd's start). Blake caught the ball on the field in foul territory, but his feet "ended up" in the dugout as a few players braced his fall. No Red Sox advanced, and the Tribe got out of the inning.

Is this situation somehow different from the new rule you speak of - or were you kidding and making a subtle reference that clearly sailed over and above my head?

by mplswahoo on Jun 6, 2007 1:21 PM EDT up reply actions

Re: Nineteen Ways to Score from Third Base

Evidently I didn't have it quite right, but I wasn't kidding.

The new rule says you can't step into the dugout to catch a foul ball, but you can reach into it. So I guess the interpretation was that Blake reached into it and then, only after having caught it, stumbled into it.

I had heard Manning or someone say that the runners advance otherwise -- presumably as a deterrent to a fielder doing something "heroic" and dangerous -- but I can't find any online source on that. It appears that if the fielder steps foot in the dugout while pursuing a foul ball, the ball is dead.
