why when somone grounds into a double play, but a run scores.... it is not counted as an RBI?

...how would it not be? Besides, in that caes, if you have runners on first and third, and there's a guy gunning for home, they'll often try and tag third and throw it home. But yeah, I don't see how it wouldn't be an RBI...

ALL I know about Baseball is what's in the Bible.

The first line says "In the Big Inning"

Haha, then how? True, I havnt' really paid ANY attention to baseball since 94 or so, but I would like to see how it would not be, if you or someone else can prove it.

It's like a fielders choice. If you have an infield hit with a runner on first and they throw him out at second and you get to first safely, it's not a hit.

No no, you're missing. He's saying why someone can ground into a double play (ie, they get out themselves, they don't make it to first) and drive in a run, and not get the RBI. I say its not possible, but what do I know.

the rule, or whatever states something like this

"it is not an RBI when two outs have been made to drive in a run"

so IE..... if batter hits the ball.... and two outs are made... an RBI will not be counted if a runner scores

No thats not true. If its forced double play then no RBI. If it just 2outs then RBI. Example would be a ball hit to the outfield runner from 3rd advances home guy at first tags up and goes for second thrown out still rbi to the batter

Right. Anytime the runner COULD have been thrown out but wasn't, it won't count as a hit or ribbie etc. IE. Fielders Choice.

Listen, it is an RBI.

If there are no outs, and you hit into a double play, and the guy from third scores, it is an RBI for the guy who hit into the double play (Because the inning is not over, only 2 outs....NOT 3)

It is like a sacrifice fly, the hitter who hits it is out, but still gets the RBI.

Thank you and end of discussion

I'm thinking it's that way because it says so in the rulebook. whichever way it is

monkeyhead · Post by **monkeyhead** » Tue Apr 16, 2002 8:03 am

seriously..... it is not an RBI when you ground into a double play and someone scores..... 0 outs 1 outs 2 outs 3 outs.... doesnt matter how many outs..... if you ground into a double play it is not an RBI
