This is all the rules say. Isn't "unoccupied base" there referring to a base that is not occupied by a runner? I don't see anything specifically stating that the base must be occupied by a fielder or what defines a fielder occupying the base.
Has anyone been able to find the passage in the MLB rulebook about where the first baseman needs to be in relation to the base to receive a pickoff throw?
Remember that stretch earlier in the year when it felt like no matter how far the Cubs fell behind they were going to come back and make things interesting? How did we go from that to a team where a 1 run deficit feels almost insurmountable?
Is it weird that I really like the persistent PitchTrax graphic on the right side of the screen, but I absolutely hate the ESPN broadcasts with the box on the actual strikezone?
