Why do the infielders move up sometimes?
It all depends on the situation. If their is a runner on third and it's a close game you would bring the infielders in, so any ground ball hit, would not allow the runner from third to advance home. Also if bases are loaded with 1 out, you would typically only see the corner infielders move up to get the out at home, while the middle infielders play half-way so they can turn the double play.

How many outs are in a baseball inning?
3 per team
IMPROVED ANSWER: In a normal 9-inning baseball game, "3 per team" would be correct. However, there are many games when both teams do not have to bat in the ninth inning, thus reducing the number of outs in that inning to zero for one of the teams (the case would apply to a home team that is leading after the other team registers 3 outs in the top half of the ninth inning). The home team would have won the game if still ahead after the other team bats in their half of the ninth. There is no need to bat in the bottom of the ninth.

If the batter hits a high fly ball and it is easy to catch what is the nickname for that fly ball?
Another term for a lazy fly ball is 'a can of corn' although I have yet to learn of the term's origin.
'Can of corn' derives from the practice in bygone days of stacking canned good on shelves all the way to the ceiling. Rather than keep out a bulky ladder and run up and down every time a customer wanted a good from a shelf too high to reach, shopkeepers kept a long stick with which to knock cans off the shelf and then catch them. I can only assume corn is used because of the alliteration.

Please consult a Doctor's opinion on this matter.
The winning pitcher is the pitcher of record when the winning run was scored. This could be the relief pitcher even though he gave up four runs, blowing the lead, if said relief pitcher was the pitcher of record when the winning run was scored. The starting pitcher, even though he pitched well in this situation, cannot be credited the win.
