Scorekeeping 101
Passed Ball vs. Wild Pitch
PB: A pitched ball in a location that the catcher can catch cleanly in the air with ordinary effort but is missed/dropped resulting in the baserunner(s) advancing to the next base(s).
WP: A pitched ball that is out of ordinary reach of the catcher or hits the dirt before reaching the catcher resulting in the baserunner(s) advancing to the next base(s).
Correct scoring of these is vital for the proper scoring of earned and un-earned runs. A PB is treated as an error (though not put on the scoreboard as an error) when figuring out earned/un-earned runs.
**Don’t shoot the messenger. Just trying to explain the difference between the two.
Note, even if the pitcher is purposely trying to throw a breaking pitch in the dirt for a put away pitch (swing and miss pitch) and the ball hits directly in front of the catcher, it doesn’t matter if we FEEL it “could” be caught cleanly on a short hop or we feel it “should have been caught.” If the ball makes contact with the dirt before reaching the catcher and a runner is able to advance because of this, it’s a WP.
Also, if the runner was already stealing on the pitch, it is a SB (stolen base). If the runner stealing is able to advance a second base on the same pitch because of the PB or WP, the runner would be awarded a SB for the first base with the pitcher or catcher being tagged with a WP or PB for the second base reached.
Hope that all makes sense.
We always fly. I travel quite a bit with my job, so we do get the benefit of airline miles. $350-$450 sounds about right for round trip. We have flown Allegiant before, limited options and the airport is about 45 minutes from Disney.
@dickeybennett@DisneyClipsGuy do you guys drive or fly? if you fly i’m curious if you know any good deals. lately ive looked and its been about 1600 round trip for 4 of us. maybe thats typical but id rather fly than drive 13 hours with littles 😅
@anlecrone@DisneyClipsGuy We just purchased AP’s and live in Memphis. We figured 3-4 visits would make it worth it for us. We already have two 4 day trips booked.
@DisneyDad9 We’re headed down for spring break as well, March 8th thru March 13th.
I also bought an AP a few weeks ago and will break it in a couple days next weekend after being in town for a work trip.
Both the men and women of @usahockey LOVE THEIR TEAMMATES and LOVE THEIR COUNTRY!!!
The way it’s suppose to be!
Hell YEAH!!!
Congratulations and THANK YOU to both teams!
