Reply to "Double Play?"

Midlo - You're not saying the term used in scoring is a Time Play are you? Let me know if I'm wrong. I am thinking you are using the term to create a better undersatnding for SSSawyer but maybe I'm wrong and if so I just learned something. Smile

basically the run got caught leaving the base he occupied too early (at a time when he is off the base and a catch of a ball in the air is made).

I have always looked at this as "being doubled-off" which implies a double play out since (a)the runner left prior to the defense making the out and (b) was not able to return to his base before the defense advanced the ball to the base formally occupied. had the runner gotten back in time (safely) then the out in this case is a simple L4.

Midlo - let me know if I am wrong. i like your use of the term to help explain the play, just not sure it has any purpose other than that. (Hope you don't take my tone as negative.....it's not meant that way.

Thanks very much!
