Thursday trivia: Called out on a walkoff RBI… What’s the call?

It’s that time again. It’s Thursday, and that means it’s time for our weekly baseball trivia question.

How does it work?

It’s simple. We give you a scenario from a baseball game. You tell us what call the umpire should make, if the umpire should make a call at all.

Here’s this week’s scenario:

Bottom of the ninth, two outs, winning run on third. Batter hits to deep right, and the runner trots home.

Caught up in the moment, the batter sticks around and celebrates. As he celebrates, the defense throws the ball back to first, where the first baseman steps on the bag.

What’s the call?

Thursday trivia: Is the batter out if the ball bounces off the wall?

It’s that time again. It’s Thursday, and that means it’s time for our weekly baseball trivia question.

How does it work?

It’s simple. We give you a scenario from a baseball game. You tell us what call the umpire should make, if the umpire should make a call at all.

Here’s this week’s scenario:

With a runner on second, the batter hits a fly ball headed for deep center.

It’s Thursday, which means it’s time again for our weekly baseball rules trivia question.

Here’s how it works: We’ll post an in-game scenario. You tell us what call the umpire should make, if the umpire should make a call at all.

Without further ado, here’s this week’s scenario.

Runner leading off on third. The pitcher’s delivery is low, and the batter swings halfway.

The plate umpire motions for help from the field ump. As everyone’s attention is on the field ump, the catcher fires the ball to the third baseman, who tags the runner off the base.

The field ump’s call is “Strike!”
