If a scrifice bunt isn't a ground out, why is a sacrifice fly not a fly out? I agree with you...

and I don't see reaching base on a 3rd strike dropped by the catcher. or being thrown out by a catcher on a dropped 3rd strike.

and in both of those cases in your IM, the at bat ends with the strikeout. - znufrii May 19, 08:29 2
- If the AB is over...how is the guy running to first base? That's like suggesting that as soon as the ball is hit, the AB is over. - Jim May 19, 08:44 1
  - because he isn't out and the ball is still live. - znufrii May 19, 08:57
because does anyone ever actually try and hit a sac fly? - znufrii May 19, 08:28 3
- With a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs...damn right batters are going up there looking for a long fly ball. - Jim May 19, 08:29 2
  - the idealized hitter in that situation is going to prefer to hit it out of the park. - znufrii May 19, 08:33 1
    - Well anytime ANYone comes to the plate a HR is a best case scenario. -- nm - Jim May 19, 08:42
