Under most circumstances, this would be an earned run, provided he eventually scores.

However, there are a few cases where it would not be an earned run. One example would be if the inning is extended by an error, no runs scored after that error are earned.

There are various legends about how the Tigers got their nickname. One involves the orange stripes they wore on their black stockings. Tigers manager George Stallings took credit for the name; however, the name appeared in newspapers before Stallings was manager. Another legend concerns a sportswriter equating the 1901 team's opening day victory with the ferocity of his alma mater, the Princeton Tigers. The earliest known use of the name "Tigers" in the news was in the Detroit Free Press on April 16, 1895. The truth is revealed in Richard Bak's 1998 book, A Place for Summer: A Narrative History of Tiger Stadium. In the 19th century, the city of Detroit had a military unit called the Detroit Light Guard, who were known as "The Tigers". They had played significant roles in certain Civil War battles and in the 1899 Spanish-American War. The baseball team was still informally called both "Wolverines" and "Tigers" in the news. Upon entry into the majors the ballclub sought and received formal permission from the Light Guard to use its trademark and from that day forth it is officially the Tigers. In short, the Tigers most likely wore stripes because they were already Tigers, rather than the other way around which is the conventional story. The "Tigers" name originates from the 19th century military unit that was based in the city and held the same name. They are nicknamed "the Motor City Kitties", "the Bengals", and "the Tigs." The slogan, "Bless You Boys," was originated by TV sportscaster Al Ackerman during the Tigers' 1984 wire-to-wire world series winning season, but it was never a nickname for the team. Detroit's major league baseball team got their nickname, "Tigers", from the socks they wore as part of their uniform in their early years in the first decade of the 1900's. Their socks were black and orange-striped, hence, looking like the fur coat of a tiger.

Ron Guidry, my favorite player when I was in college, was not an overpowering pitcher. He was a little guy--only 5'9" and 160 pounds--so he had to dominate hitters through his wile and not necessarily blowing the ball by them. He had a wicked sharp slider, but he did also throw a mean fastball, without which he could not have had the success he did in the 1978 season, when he won the AL Cy Young Award.

I don't know how many times, I've answered this on other pages but it's always fun. Here is the official ruling right from the MLB Rules Book. Rule 6 - The Batter

Rule 6.05

(a) Hits fair or foul ball (other than a foul tip) is legally caught by a fielder ( PO at 1st)

(b) A third strike is legally caught by the catcher.

(c) A third strike is not caught by the catcher when the first base is occupied before two are out;

(d) Bunts foul on third strike;

(e) An Infield Fly is declared;

(f) He attempts to hit a third strike and the ball touches him.

(g) His fair ball touches him before touching a fielder;

(h) After hitting or bunting a fair ball, his bat hits the ball a second time in fair territory. The ball is dead and no runners may advance. If the batter-runner drops his bat anther ball rolls against the bat in fair territory and, in the umpire's judgment, there was no intention to interfere with the course of the ball, the ball is alive and in play;

(i) After hitting or bunting a fall ball, he intentionally deflects the course of the ball in any manner while running to first base. The ball is dead and no runners may advance;

(j) After a third strike o after he hits a fair ball, he or the fist bas is tagged before he touches first base;

(k) In running the last half o the distance from home base to first bas, while the ball is behind fielded to first base, runs outside the three foot line or inside the foul line and tin the umpire's judgment in so doing interferes with the fielder taking the throw at first base in which case the ball is dead; except that he may run outside the three foot line or inside the foul line to avoid a fielder attempting to field a batted ball.

(l) An infielder intestinally drops a fair fly ball or line drive with first, first and second, first and third, or first, second and third base occupied before two are out. The ball is dead and runner or runners shall return to their original base or bases;

(m) A preceding runner shall, in the umpires judgment intentionally interfere with a fielder who is attempt to catch a thrown ball or to throw a ball in an attempt to complete an y play

(n) With tow out, a runner on third base and two strikes on the batter, the runner attempts to steal home base on a legal pitch and the ball touches the runner in the batter's strike zone. The umpire shall call Strike Three the batter is out and the run shall not count; before two are out, the umpire shall call Strike Three the ball is dead and the run counts.

BUT WAITE THERE IS MORE......Rule 6.06

See your major league rules book from the MLB web page for more rules.

I am a pats fan, but....the giants main colors are (home) blue and red, and (away) red and white.

they stay on the bench or in the change room not in the bleachers if they are on the team that is playing the sport at that game.

9 just like in baseball on the field but im not sure how many total on a team

Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher, Nolan Ryan, attended Alvin Community College for one year. The college is located in Alvin, Texas. Ryan made his MLB debut in 1966 for the New York Mets.

No, once you are tagged out you don't get credited with anything if you are the one at bat. Now if another batter hits the ball and there was already a man on base at first and he gets tagged at 2nd base, then yes the man on 1st base would get the single from his previous at bat If the batted ball was cleanly a base hit and he was thrown out trying to advance past first base then the batter would be given the hit corresponding to the last base the batter reached safely. If the batter was thrown out at second, the batter would be given a single. If the batter was thrown out at third, the batter would be given a double. If the batter was thrown out at home plate, the batter would be given a triple.

EH in softball stands for EveryoneHits. you EverybodyHits. something like that. it is used when you batting the whole team, and in the place where you would right the benching players position in the batting line up, you write, EH.

Arod makes around 40,000$ per at bat and 120 to 140k per inning. I'm not sure exactly how to answer the why part but his past achievements hold great significance in why Rodriguez makes as much as he does. The Yankees signed him to one of the biggest contracts in baseball history. The contract also includes incentives for breaking the home run record.

For the 2011 season, that will be Adam LaRoche who the Nats signed as a free agent on January 7, 2011.

NF = Nasty Factor.

What is the Nasty Factor?

The Nasty Factor evaluates several properties of each pitch, and rates the "nastiness" of the pitch on a scale from 0-100, based in part on the success or failure of opposing hitters against previous similar pitches. The Nasty Factor incorporates several different factors for each pitch, including:

Velocity - The greater the pitch's velocity - as compared to that pitcher's and the league's range of speed for that pitch type - the greater the nastiness;

Sequence - The more the pitcher mixes up his pitches, the greater the nastiness… and certain pitch sequences are nastier than others, too;

Location - The closer to the edges of the strike zone is, the greater the nastiness, while pitches closer to the middle of the plate, and farther away outside the strike zone, decrease in nastiness;

Movement - The more movement the pitcher applies to the pitch - as compared to that pitcher's and the league's range of movement for that pitch type - the greater the nastiness.

The Nasty Factor also adjusts for how often the pitcher has faced the current batter during the game, as well as how often he has used the same pitch type against the same batter in the current at-bat and previously in the game.

On July 10, 2008, Corey Hart of the Milwaukee Brewers struck out twice in the fourth inning against the Colorado Rockies.

On August 12, 2008 Kevin Youkilis of the Boston Red Sox struck out twice in the first inning against Texas Rangers.

For fun with there friends or to win

IP stands for Innings Pitched. It is a pitching statistics that records the amount of innings the pitcher pitched.

It can be divided into thirds by the outs that were recorded while the pitcher was still on the mound.

For example: Its the 5th inning and there are 2 outs. The pitcher needs to be taken out of the game and is replaced with another pitcher. The number of innings pitched for this game would be 4 2/3. The relief pitcher would then pitch 2 1/3. This would add up to the complete 7 inning game.

You can tag up on any popup or flyball no matter where it is caught, even if it is caught in foul territory. Now it might not be the smartest thing to tag up on a ball popped up to the pitcher though, but you can do it if you want

I don't know if you mean stitches or laces. There are 8 laces on a football, but there are several hundred stitches.

Sanders wore No. 21 during his years with the Atlanta Falcons (1989-1993), the San Francisco 49ers (1994), the Dallas Cowboys (1995-1999) and the Washington Redskins (2000). He wore No. 37 during his two seasons with the Baltimore Ravens (2004-2005).

I stumbled upon a site that helped me increase my knowledge and even my winning average substantially.

My average before learning this information was about 15%. After learning the info it increased to about 70% overall. I was impressed with what was happening.

I was making much smarter bets and the wins just kept coming. I'm not rich by no means, But I'm having a lot more fun with sports betting.

If you are interested in increasing your knowledge and having more fun and enjoyment in sports betting, I have the link in my bio.

Babe Ruth's bat weighed 42 ounces and was 36 inches long. He used a 52-ounce bat when he wanted to send it out of the park. Go Ducks!

It means that you want the person batting to make a solid connection and get a basehit or extra basehit. It means, essentially, "Please hit the ball and reach base safely without making an out."
