When an ump calls infield fly, the ball is deemed caught. If you are on base, treat it as if it were a fly out. Doesn't matter if the fielder lets it fall or not.

Not true. Baserunners advance at their own risk and the ball is only considered caught if it is actually caught.

A source told MLB.com that the Rays will get Jason Bay from the Pirates for Reid Brignac and Jeff Niemann.

We're busy enjoying the game and whining about how there's nothing to whine about.

 

Go for the jugular, Harden!

people are confusing "caught" with "out". When the infield fly is called, the batter is out.

Milwaukee will fear the wrath of Jimmy Ballgame

 

My 2nd post in this thread, and I'll keep quoting it til Jimmy stops going yard.

Yeah me too. It sounds like he's talking about dog food.

[cubs1908-2008]

is it me or does Harden get's behind the count every time?

what? If it isn't caught you can't force the batter at any base, thus you can't turn two off of it.

If that's true I think that's a great deal for the Pirates.

Harden hasn't been as sharp today, but he's still pitching well. More runs please!

Add me to the list of people that hate it.

Hopefully he can go 6. That's all we need.

That is correct, but the ball isn't considered caught if it is dropped. The batter is still out, but not on a "caught" ball.

Again, that is just like a fly out. If the ball is caught, the batter is out. When the ump calls infield fly, the ball is deemed caught, meaning the batter is out. If you run, it's at your own risk, but you can't be forced out at the next base since the play is treated as a flyout. Runners still have to tag up.

Hopefully I have to eat these words, but this looks like one of those bad offensive days.

 

What an idiot that witty alias guy is.

On pace for 96 through 6.

That sounds like a pretty good deal for both teams.
