2018 MLB Spring Training Running Thread

Count how? There’s no pitch count rule.

 

There is never a good time for an injury, but March might be the worst. MLB, spring training, NBA and NHL right before the playoffs, NFL, might impact your draft or free agency. NCAA hoops - could cost you a chance at a title. Golf - you could miss the Masters.

 

Pitch count rule? I asked if pitches are part of the pitcher's total if a runner makes the third out.

The same batter leads off the next inning ...

Let's say the pitcher threw 5 pitches to that batter before the runner made the final out.

Let's say theoretically those 5 pitches boosted the pitcher's total to 78 thru that inning.

Or does it revert back to 73 because the runner made out so it wasn't an official at-bat?

 

LOL.

Pitch counts don’t matter in the game rules. They’re just an information point. There would be nothing to “revert.” So, short answer, yes, they “count.” Because the entire purpose is to track how many pitches he threw.

In youth and HS leagues where pitch counts are a rule, those pitches count.

 

The question has nothing to do with pitch counts mattering.

It was a question of whether the pitches remain part of his game total if the at-bat never existed.

Someone asked me the question and I did not know the answer because I've never thought about it.

I'll bow at your feet and ask to tap into your reservoir of knowledge next time a baseball question comes up.

 

Seventeen years ago today we found out not what it sounds like when doves cry, but what it sounds like when they're blown apart by a 97 mph fastball.

 

That is award winning.

 

Stantonian.

 

Rangers release Colon.

 

That stinks.

 

I would be surprised if he doesn't get at least an offer.

 

To start the season in a starting rotation for a major league team?
