You're all wrong... Here's the scenario again! Think Think Think!?
Question:MAN ON FIRST and 2 OUTS, tie ball game. You stand at the plate and swing at nothing. The ball NEVER hits your bat (balks aren't pitches...they're balks). How many pitches could you conceivably see before you are walked to first base? Remember... don't forget the logic!
Answers:
Who is the most improved baseball team so far?
OkAfter 5 pitches, the man on first gets thrown out stealing.
The next inning the same batter gets up to bat again and is pitched 5 or 6 pitches and gets walked.
Meaning the answer is 10 or 11 ? Depending on if the 4th ball counts?
If this isn't the answer you wouldn't have add the part about Man on first and two outs. Not sure what the tie ball game has to do with it though.
Does anyone know the casino odds for the Yankees to make the playoffs? PLease cite source.?
six pitches total. 4 ball and 2 strikes. I don't know what logic you're talking about, its simple math. If you don't swing the bat ever, the most possible pitches to see and get on base with a walk is 6. Any other ammount and you would have had to have hit a foul ball. Unless they decide to intentionally walk around your homerun power then you would only see 4 pitches.Mets4Life has a good answer, but technically you "see" the sixth pitch before you get awarded the free base.
Can anyone give me 5 softball rules?
lots and lots because you can foul the ballsAnybody got a theory as to why offense keeps going up?
i all ready told you. 6. 4 balls and 2 strikes. if that answer is SOO wrong Mr. "Smarty pants" tell us the answer.Well, the answer is not 1 pitch - because a HBP is not a BB, so the minimum amount of pitches you'd need to see (assuming you're not substituting for a player that was removed in the middle of an at bat) is four.
The most pitches that you could see is six - if the bat is never swung.
What is week one's biggest surprise?
You just added the "tie ball game" to the scenario.You want to settle on what it is before asking again?
6 pitches unless you get hit by the ball first or there is no catcher interference, or the game gets called for a number of different reasons, where you might not get to first at all. :) lol
Is there anyone Who actually thinks Hank Aaron is in the same league as Barry Bonds ?
Hey, well if you already swung at one and missed, you have one strike. So then you can get one more strike, which would total 2 strikes. Then you could get 4 balls which would put you on first base due to the walk. This would total 6 pitches. So the other guy and I have the same answer, so if this is not right, whats the logic behind the right answer? Is there a trick, like the guy on first ran around the bases because the pitches went behind the catcher or something? Hmm??What is the name of the baseball player that just passed away?
5 pitches, since there was one strike first. 4 balls and 1 more strike.Will the SF Giants come out of their rut?
4 i guess.How can is stop myself from being nervous because i have a softball game today?
11,You look at 3 balls and 2 strikes without swinging. On a 3-2 count the pitcher picks off the runner on 1st. You've seen 5 pitches, but the inning is over. Next inning you lead off with a 0 ball - 0 strike count and can now see 6 pitches without swinging and still get the walk.
Who are some of the top high school baseball prospects eligable for the 2007 draft?
you could see 4 pitches to 6 pitches. For 4 pitches he could have swung before the pitch as many players do as a little warm up, and then have been walked on 4 straight pitches. For 6 he just ran the count full and walked.six,strikes thrown on counts 2-1and 3-1.
Did Barry Bonds ever get caught for doing steroids?
11 - you work it to a full count (5 pitches) and then a runner gets thrown out on the bases. You come up again in the next inning and again work a full count before you get that 4th ball.Why do u think Jason Giambi was taking steroids in the first place?
5 to work the count to 3-2. Then keep fouling them off, over and over.There is no limit.
Where is your favorite place to sit at the baseball park ?
A lot you could keep fouling them offWhy when i bat am swinging up people tell me and am not hitting it?
Applying your "Balks aren't pitches, they're balks" literally, the answer would be zero. However, assuming that is NOT the case...You said the hitter swings and never makes contact, so the foul ball factor is eliminated; thus, assuming the pitcher balks on every offering, the total would be seven (7). The runner on first advances one base for each balk (no pitch). First to home requires three deliveries. Four more and your hitter has his walk.
Whether the hitter swings or not is inmaterial: a balk results in an immediate "dead ball."
One more scenario: you didn't mention what inning your game is in. If it's the bottom of the ninth and the score is tied, obviously the game is over on the third balk.
