This is just an example of how we might modify an existing definition. --begin example-- FIELDER'S CHOICE (FC): 1. When a fielder elects to attempt a play on a runner other than the batter/runner. 2. When any runner advances on a throw or attempted play on another runner. 3. When any fielder holds the ball (rather than throwing to a base for an attempted play) in order to "check" the runner at 3B; see also "Defensive Indifference." Note: The attempted play does not have to result in a put-out. Under (3) if a fielder checks a runner and throws late to 1B, the Scorer's judgment will determine whether the batter/runner is awarded a Hit or charged a FC. Scorer: This is a judgment call. IF you believe the batter/runner could not have been put out at 1B by errorless play, AND no other runner was put out, THEN a Hit may be awarded the batter/runner. A FC is an at-bat. See Rule 10.02. Exceptions: If any preceding runner is forced out, score a FC for the batter/runner. This also applies if an Appeal is successful on a force-play. Other terms: Descriptive use of FC may include Advance on Throw (AT), Ground into Force (GF), Ground into Double/Triple Play (GDP/GTP), and Defensive Indifference (DI). --end example-- Ideally, each definition which applies directly to a rule will also cite the rule.

While I applaud the effort, part of your definition (#2) will not work, particularly in the case of a double steal. See 10.08c. If one runner is played on and advances without a misplay, he gets creditied with a stolen base. Any other runners on the play ALSO get credited with a stolen base. This makes an advance by a runner (the "trail" runner) a stolen base, not an FC, even thought there was an an attempted play on another runner. I would also preface #1 with "On a batted ball...", as the FC would not apply to the case of a play on a stealing runner. Also, #3 would not have to include a check of another runner (i.e., late in a blowout game, the defense decides not to play on a stealing runner from first, even though there are no other runners on base - this is still Defensive Indifference, a form of an FC). The exception you noted for #3 can also apply to #1. Example - a ball hit deep in the hole to the F6's right. F6 stops the ball, has no play on the BR, but attempts a play at 3B on an advancing R2, who was not forced on the play. R2 slides in safely. This is also Scorer's Judgment as to a hit vs an FC for the Batter. In the situation as described, I would certainly consider giving the batter a hit on the play. While many of the existing definitions are not very good, rewriting them is difficult, particularly in order to account for all of the exceptions. Apply here overnight payday loans online

Dear Atlanta Blue, Thanks for the feedback! You are correct--the draft is incomplete. I should have been more careful when listing exceptions. Anyway, the overall format is the main thing I'm trying to adapt to the rules: TERM: DEFINITION OF TERM (with Rule references). Note: Clarify the definition. Scorer: Give guidance to the scorer for proper application of the definition. Exceptions: List specific cases where the definition does / does not apply as written. (this might be better under Notes) Other terms: List other terms (which will be included in the Definitions) along with their scoring abbreviations. - - - Thank you.
