In response to "you're saying that the rule is in effect if there's only a runner on 1st? -- nm" by prayformojo

yes, say Rickey Henderson is on 1st, Frank Thomas is batting....

you could drop the pop up to get Rickey Hendersons fast ass off the bases, and replace him with Frank Thomas.

so is the wikipedia entry incorrect? - prayformojo Apr 8, 13:17 14
- MLB.com says: - oblique Apr 8, 13:20 12
  - which means Wikipedia is right and groiny is wrong -- nm - oblique Apr 8, 13:22 11
    - right, but it is not only with runner on thrid...... - groiny Apr 8, 13:25 10
      - but your example of a runner on first is incorrect. It's 1B/2B or bases loaded (which is a force at 3rd and home as I believe pfm said) -- nm - oblique Apr 8, 13:26 9
        
        I had half of it right. It doe snot make sense that as a fielder - groiny Apr 8, 13:27 8
        
        The rule is to prevent multiple outs from dropping a popup, it isn't supposed to stop the defense from choosing which runner to get out. (nm) - musubi Apr 8, 13:29 7
        
        You are correct, but it is dumb in that case. - groiny Apr 8, 13:30 6
        
        In field popups are pretty rare in general (iirc, leaguewide avg was something like 3%), and then consider the rarity of a batter - musubi Apr 8, 13:37
        
        All about the stats. Infielders don't want those errors!!! -- nm - Shaun Apr 8, 13:32 4
        
        they would not be errors. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 8, 13:35 3
        
        I would deem it so. -- nm - Shaun Apr 8, 13:36 2
        
        I believe it's only an error if it costs a base. -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 13:44 1
        
        It would be my own personal "Nice catch dumbass" error. -- nm - Shaun Apr 8, 13:46
- I believe that to be incorrect. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 8, 13:17
