You're an idiot. It's most definitely NOT an out. Hitting a players head and hitting the wall are completely different things.

Duh, idiot, you didn't READ and UNDERSTAND my entire post before you opened your trap and stuck your big, smelly feet in it.

I said AFTER the ball leaves the bat. NOT if the pitcher beans the guy. The OP stated:

In Baseball if a fly ball is hit into the outfield, hits a the wall then is caught by the outfielder is it an out?
Click to expand...

Obviously saying that the ball has indeed been HIT by the batter already.

In which case, I'm RIGHT; it's an out.

Now, don't you feel like a jackass? HEEHAWW!!!!

You got served, idiot.
 
People who answered yes must never watch baseball games played at fenway park.

ROFLMAO!!! You're an even bigger idiot that previously proven. Try reading your own posts moron. From your own tiny little non-functioning brain: "If after leaving the bat, the ball is caught before touching the ground, it's an out. Doesn't matter if the ball bounces off the wall..."

It does matter if the ball bounces off the wall you completely braindead troglodyte. That's the entire point of this thread. A ball that has hit a wall CANNOT be caught for an out. My god, exactly how many paint chips did you eat as a baby?
 
this is unsettling, although it sounds about the same as it did last night when the bet was made......

So, by reading the various rules posted above, it seems that it VARIES if it's an out or not. 😕 So, I'm 50% correct, depending on what stadium the game is played in.

Which is BULLLLSHIT, really. Rules are rules. Rules aren't supposed to "vary depending on where you're playing." That's like saying "If both teams are wearing blue uniforms, FOUR strikes now makes an out."

Yet another reason why baseball sucks.

No you are 100% wrong still. Those rules specify which part of the fields are considered out of play or outside the field of play. E.g. if it hits above the yellow line on a wall it is a home run.

As for the OP's question (or what he has implied), you are wrong.
 
Haven't you seen any replays in Boston where the left fielder catches the ball off the wall and throws it into 2nd to hold the batter at first?

A ball that hits the wall then is caught is not an out.

ROFL!! You just keep getting smacked down and you keep coming back for more. Bookmark this thread Skippy, in about 6 months it'll return as the end of the year "self-ownage" nominations are released. Your using that link as if it somehow helps your case is further proof that you don't have a shred of a clue when it comes to baseball. Please, read the page you link to and find the piece that says that a ball hit off a wall can be caught for an out. Go ahead, find that one sentence and you'll show that you're no a complete idiot. Failure to find that passage that you're dreaming up will merely add further credence to what everyone except you already understands. You're completely lost and too dumb to accept that fact.

This is quite a laugh, really. It's probably worked into the "house rules" - which means according to the rules you ate still 0% correct because they are all the same across the league in regards to a ball hit against the wall. It's the same concept as with a catcher trapping a ball against the netting behind home plate, this is not an out.

And according to your "rules are rules" arguement, I'm guessing you never play cards or pool with friends either?

When the rules of baseball were written, I'm sure they never took into account what happens when a ball gets lost in ivy against the outfield wall - or when the Cubs used to sell tickets for people to stand and watch the game from the outfield warning track! Gotta love the strange things this game has to offer. 🙂 There was even once a stadium that had a sliding wall in the outfield with ads, and the owner tried to get away with having the fence come in when his team was at-bat, and have the fence further out for the opposing team! Yeah, that was put to a stop immediately, but it's still funny to think about.
 
OK but what if it hits off the Red Monster who is for whatever reason in the playing field, then bounces off the park's walls, hits both the fielder and batter on the head, lands in a puddle, then rolls up over the fence and into foul territory?

HAH! I bet you thought you had managed to stump us. But this exact same situation came up in a Little League game just last week.

The batter will be killed and eaten by the red monster, is awarded a ground-rule double posthumously and a pinch runner comes in to replace him.
