Q about Baseball grading wagers…

Your buddy sounds like an idiot. It is still a hit. Shouldn’t even be a question. MLB gave him a hit in the stats. What is even being questioned here?

From MLB.com:

A hit occurs when a batter strikes the baseball into fair territory and reaches base without doing so via an error or a fielder's choice. There are four types of hits in baseball: singles, doubles, triples and home runs. All four are counted equally when deciphering batting average. If a player is thrown out attempting to take an extra base (e.g., turning a single into a double), that still counts as a hit.

cecil, honestly your friend should not be betting baseball if he doesn't know that.

i don't bet soccer really cause i am not familiar with a lot of the rules.

So if a guy throwing a no hitter has one smashed off the wall and the batter gets thrown out at second trying for two the no hitter goes down the drain? I did not know that…

thanks and yes, my buddy is a degenerate retread and idiot just like most of us reading along…

Of course it's a hit. Look at the box score.
