There really are no standardized rules for the pitching machine. They are local adaptations of established rules.\n\nMost would have the ball become dead, batter is awarded first base, and all runners advance one base(although some advance the runners only if forced).

if youre in a 12 man league and you,  for instance, have the most homeruns, you would get 12 points in the HR categorie , the second most hr's would get 11 points, and so on,  and the person with the least hr's would have one point. same goes for every category that pertains to youre league. if there were only 5 teams, you'd have 5 pts and it would go down from there. say there is a tie in a category, say between first and second. in  a 12 man league it would be 12+11 divided by 2 which would give each 11.5 pts. a three way tie would be 12+11+10 divided by 3 which would give 11 pts and so on. hope that helps!

http://www.baseball-almanac.com/scoring2.shtml\nhttp://www.baseball-almanac.com/scoring3.shtml\n\nthis is the best site to learn from, as i did\n\nThe Scorecard \nThe form appears complex but once examined makes perfect sense.\n\nInnings run across the top. Spaces for the player name along the side. There are extra spaces for pinch hitters and extra spaces for an extra inning game. Each grid, where the inning and player name meet, has a small diamond that represents the actual playing field. Spaces on the right side of the sheet are used for tracking the players final statistics at the end of the game.\n\nYou begin by filling in the players name using the team line-up. Use a second page to place the visiting team's line-up on a card. When each player comes to bat in an inning you fill in the small diamond with the appropriate code and actions taken.\n \n\n\nKnowing The Player Numbers \nThere may be many different methods of scoring and many different types of scorecards but there is only one player numbering system. You have probably heard the play-by-play announcer on television or radio call a play "6 to 4 to 3" then mention what a great infield and double play combination your favorite team has. He is using the following chart to describe the play and you should memorize this chart and be able to recall it as easy as you can recall your favorite players vitals.\n\n\n \n\n\nBasic Abbreviations \nAbbreviation  Definitions \n1B Single \n2B Double \n3B Triple \nBB Base on Balls \nBK Balk \nCS  Caught Stealing \nDP Double Play \nDH Designated Hitter \nE Error \nFC  Fielder's Choice \nFO Force-Out \nHBP Hit By Pitch \nHR Home Run \nI  Interference \nIW Intentional Walk \nK Strikeout \nPB Passed Ball \nSB Stolen Base \nSF Sacrifice Fly \nSH Sacrifice Hit \nWP Wild Pitch

It is a power rating indicator. This is the quick way I was taught, back when I was 7 years old...this helped me with my math skills quite a lot. Assign 1 Total Base (TB) for every single, 2 for every double, 3 for every triple and 4 for every HR, add all 4 #'s together and divide by the total # of at  bats (TB/AB=SLG) Really all a Slg Pct will tell you is, the # of Total bases per At Bat

In scoring, a strikeout is recorded as a backward-facing K. Some scorers record strikeouts where the batter didn't swing at the last pitch with a backwards-facing K, also recorded as K-C. The use of "K" for a strikeout was invented by Henry Chadwick, a newspaper journalist. The letter "S" was used to coin "sacrifice" so Mr. Chadwick decided to use "K", with "K" being the last letter in "struck". Mr. Chadwick also invented many other baseball scoring abbreviations, such as using numbers to designate player positions.\n\nPlease choose as best if you like :)

The playing field is divided into fair territory and foul territory. Fair territory is further divided into the infield, the outfield, and the territory beyond the outfield fence.\n\nThe field is defined by two baselines or foul lines that meet at a right angle at home plate. The minimum length of the baselines varies classification of play (see below for official measurements). A fence running between the baselines defines the limits of the field; this fence is equidistant from home plate at all points.\n\nBehind home plate is a backstop. It must be between 25 and 30 feet (7.62 and 9.14 meters) behind home plate.\n\nHome plate is made of rubber. It is a five-sided figure, a combination of a rectangle and triangle, 17 in (43 cm) wide. The sides are 8.5 in (22 cm) long. The triangle fits into the right angle formed by the baselines.\n\nHome plate is one corner of a diamond with bases at each corner. The bases other than home plate are 15 in (38 cm) square, of canvas or a similar material, and not more than 5 in (13 cm) thick. The bases are usually securely fastened in position. The bases are numbered counter clockwise as first base, second base, and third base. Outside first base (that is, in foul territory) and adjacent and connected to it is a contrast-coloured "double base" or "safety base". It is intended to prevent collisions between the first baseman and the runner. The runner runs for the foul portion of the double base after hitting the ball while the fielding team tries to throw the ball to the regular first base before the runner reaches the safety base. However, not all softball diamonds have these safety bases and they are much more common in women's softball than in men's. The double base is required in ISF championships.\n\nThe infield consists of the diamond and the adjacent space in which the infielders (see below) normally play. The outfield is the remaining space between the baselines and between the outfield fence and the infield. The infield is usually "skinned" (dirt), while the outfield has grass in regulation competitions.\n\nNear the centre of the diamond is the pitching plate. In fast pitch, a skinned circle 8 feet (2.44 meters) in diameter known as the pitching circle is around the pitching plate.\n\nA field is officially supposed to have a warning track between 15 and 12 feet (5 and 4 meters) from the outfield fence. However, if the game is being played on a field larger than required, no warning track is required before the temporary outfield fencing.\n\nLocated in foul territory outside both baselines are two Coach's Boxes. Each box is behind a line 15 feet (5 meters) long located 12 feet (3 meters) from each baseline.\n\n\n[edit] Official baseline dimensions\nFast Pitch Baselines Slow Pitch Baselines \n60 ft (18.29 m) 60 ft or 65 ft (19.81 m) \n\n\n[edit] Fast pitch pitching dimensions\nAdult Under 18 Under 15 \nFemale Male Female Male Female Male \n43 ft (13.11 m) 46 ft (14.02 m) 40 ft (12.19 m)or 35 ft 46 ft (14.02 m) 40 ft (12.19 m)or 35 ft 46 ft (14.02 m) \n\n\n[edit] Slow pitch pitching distances\nAdult Under 18 Under 15 \nFemale Male Coed Female Male Female Male \n46 ft (14.02 m) 50 ft (15.24 m) 50 ft (15.24 m) 46 ft (14.02 m) 46 ft (14.02 m) 46 ft (14.02 m) 46 ft (14.02 m \n\n\nall same

It is all in the grip.  I think the only difference between a major league change-up and any other is being able to locate them consistently.  The mechanics is the same.\n\nSee the link below for some illustrations.

From Major League rules;\n\n8.05\nIf there is a runner, or runners, it is a balk when --\n\n(i) The pitcher, without having the ball, stands on or astride the pitcher’s plate or while off the plate, he feints a pitch;\n\nIn HS baseball, and most youth sanctions , the rule is within 5 feet of the rubber.

It is 0, the runner must make it to first base safely without any other outs recorded to have any of the runs coun, very nice question, and the guy a few questions up read it wrong, two outs stop all preceding runs\n\n7.12 Unless two are out, the status of a following runner is not affected by a preceding runner's failure to touch or retouch a base. If, upon appeal, the preceding runner is the third out, no runners following him shall score. If such third out is the result of a force play, neither preceding nor following runners shall score.

They're the numbers of the players.\n\n   1. Pitcher P (infield)\n   2. Catcher C (infield)\n   3. 1st Baseman 1B (infield)\n   4. 2nd Baseman 2B (infield)\n   5. 3rd Baseman 3B (infield)\n   6. Shortstop SS (infield)\n   7. Left Fielder LF (outfield)\n   8. Center Fielder CF (outfield)\n   9. Right Fielder RF (outfield)\n\nSo a 4 1 3 double play would mean that the 2nd baseman threw the ball to the pitcher who threw it to the 1st baseman.

In the big "Leagues" ten ends are played and aggregate score is accumulated. Each end the four members of each team throws two rocks each alternately and the team which has the most stones closest to the button or centre of the house ( which is the circles at the other end of the sheet)\nscores a point for each rock until there is an opposing teams rock.\nThe opposing teams stone/rock which is the nearest they could get doesn't count but it cancels out any of the scoring teams that may be in the house. \nIt may sound complicated but it easy when you get out there and play, you learn the rules by the time you've played your first game.

Right Field \n10. is if there are 4 out fielders\n\nThe batters will be in the rows on a page\nThe columns on the page will display the inning.\n\nIn the First inning first batter you will use the top quare.\n\nIf he goes to first, draw a line from home to first in that box.  Same for second and so on.  If he scores make a complete diamond in that box and fill it in.\n\nMake sure the next inning you use the new column with the cordinating batter.\n\nIf a batter flies out to short stop write F6, stand for flew out to shortstop or (6).  IF the short stop picks up the ball and throughs it to first, it is a 6-3 out. (Short stop - First Base)  In the box of the out you may want to make it clear that there was and out by writing the 1,2, or 3 and Circle them, incase someone asks the outs.\n\nThere are many other statistics  the coach might want, but that should get  you started.

it depends on the discretion of the official scorer.  if the SS goes deep into the hole and tries a force at second and he is safe, the scorer can credit the batter with a hit if he feels the batter would have been safe anyway.  but say a guy grounds to third and the runner was stealing, the third baseman tries to get him at second anyway and he is safe, he would be creditd with a fielder`s choice.

He's safe.  Rule 7.05(d): Each runner including the batter runner may, without liability to be put out, advance-\n\n(d) Two bases, if a fielder deliberately touches a thrown ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person. The ball is in play

When you play baseball outdoors, the rules of the sport that you use (high school, college, pro, etc) govern, along with any local league rules that may or may not take precedence over the "official" rules.  You also have ground rules that apply to each individual park, such as how to treat the front of the dugout (live or dead), whether you can throw from the dugout (college rules make this a ground rule), and so on.\n\nPlaying indoors is basically the same, though you may have to add some more ground rules.  For example, if you play in the Metrodome in Minnesota... what if the ball hits a speaker above fair or foul ground?  What if the ball goes through a hole in the fabric protecting the roof?  These aren't covered in the rules, so Major League baseball had to come up with something (the speakers are live; pretend the ball didn't hit them... and it's a double if the ball stays in the ceiling)... :)

it would take amazingly long time to type up how to play baseball. ill give a short explanation. there is 4 bases in a diamond shape, then an outfield. a pitcher throws the ball trying to get it past the batter and over the home plate (a base) for a strike. 3 strikes and your out. \nthere are 3 outs in one inning. you play nine innings. if you hit the ball, you run up the dirt ob the right to first base. if the ball is cought while the first baseman touches the bag, your out. if you see that you could maybe get to 2nd base, turn and run there. you score by going all the way around the bases and touching home plate. oh, and if you hit a ball over the fence in between the to polls in left and right field, its a home run
