Answers:
Why were the fans throwing things at Jeff Gordon?
I would have to believe it is 3 pitches, having been done on many different occasions.Isn't it funny that the Yankees spend so much money and still need help?
The answer is one pitch. A relief pitcher comes in with no outs and two or three runners on base, makes one pitch and the batter hits into a triple playIsn't it awesome to finally have Yankee fans with nothing to say?
I agree with the guy above me.Are metal cleats legal in babe ruth baseball (ages 13-15)?
1 pitch.Only when a reliever comes in.
3 pitches. It's not a hard accomplishment. I agree with the first answer.
The answer is not 1 pitch. You cannot retire "the side" by getting one batter out. the side is the 1st 3 batters of the lineup.
Do you think Barry Bonds will break hank Aarons record?
None - reliever comes in, picks off the runner on first base for the 3rd out. Inning over & side retired.World's most valuable baseball?
The answer is three.I've been a stat stringer for Major League Baseball for three years. The lowest number of pitches I have scored for a pitcher recording all three outs in an inning is 4.
First Batter:
1. Bunt, out recorded, 1-3
Second Batter:
2. Called Strike
3. In Play, out recorded, 4-3.
Third Batter
4. In Play, out recorded, 3 Unassisted
Can a base ball player switch hit during the same at bat?
Obvious answer is 3Somehow I dont think that's the right answer.
A rellief pitcher could get by with ONE. He could make one pitch and get a triple play
Am I the only1 that thinks this??
1...triple playWho was better in their prime Babe Ruth or Willie Mays?
It has to be 3 - one to each batter - assuming we are starting with no outs and nobody on (i.e. the beginning of an inning).If you want to get into different scenarios, then I kinda like the 0 pitches...
But with our top of the inning pitcher... Now, he could hit the first, get the second to ground into a DP, and the third pop up - but he has to throw at least ONE pitch to each.
Who is the heaviest player in Major League Baseball?
Obviously it's 3. How could you turn a triple play in only one pitch in the inning, you have to pitch to get the runners on?I wouldn't say it's common, but it's not very rare to do this either.
Baseball cards: what are they worth?
If you are asking what the lowest POSSIBLE number is for a single pitcher who pitches the entire inning, then the number is 0. This is also the lowest number possible for the whole game due to a very rarely used rule (6.06b) about switching batting boxes after the pitcher has set.If you mean what is the lowest pitch count ever recorded by a pitcher that pitched the entire inning, the answer is probably 3 although that is just an assumption.
If a batter is walked with the bases loaded, does he get an RBI?
There are several ways to do this with zero pitches.(a few are listed below) I don't know if it's ever been done though.1)Bases loaded, reliever enters and pick all three off w/o throwing a pitch
2)Reliever enters, bags full, steps off rubber on squeeze play, throws out runner at plate, catcher throws out advancing runner at 3rd, 3rd baseman throws out advancing runner at 2nd.
3)Some combination of these two.
What MLB team has the most 1st round draft picks on their current 40-man roster?
The answer is 3. None of the answers given would constitute retiring the side in order cause 4 batters would have batted in the inning. Pick off come on that would not happen it could but more then likely it would never. Still wouldn't be retiring anyone in order. What the question is to retire the side. Retiring the side means getting each batter out. So it would be 3 pitches.Is it weird that I throw left-handed but bat right-handed?
