Can someone explain how Vida Blue can be injured on a groundout by Enos Cabell? Blue has no groundout result at 6-12 in any of his years vs. righties.

Is it possible to ground out on a Flyball X LF - wild play or something?

It looks like in '81 and '82 he has strikeouts on 6-12 vs. Righties, but I think those are point of weakness bullets there . . . which means he was getting fatigued. But that should result in a single . . . so it's hard to say. Could be a hit and run result as well? The groundout did advance the runner . . .

I'm thinking the same thing as Ragnarock...hit-and-run result or bunt result too.

Hit and Run Play

The offensive manager announces that he is going to hit and run. He then proceeds to roll 3 dice. If the single-die is 1, 2, or 3 then he refers to the Super Advanced Hit and Run Chart (which is found on the Super Advanced Miscellaneous Charts page) using the batter's H&R rating. If the single-die is 4, 5 or 6, he reads the result directly off the pitcher's card in the usual manner. However, [b:af2f4aef63]if a strikeout,[/b:af2f4aef63] walk, single or double result [b:af2f4aef63]occurs while reading the pitcher's card disregard that reading and refer to the Super Advanced Pitching Results H&R Adjustments[/b:af2f4aef63] (also found on the Super Advanced Miscellaneous Charts page) for the final result of the play. DO NOT ADJUST ANY RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE SUPER ADVANCED FIELDING CHART.


No SAC was awarded. Since he advanced the runner it must have been a hit and run on his '80, '81 or '82 card (all strikeout results)... also could have been a fatigue single using the @ result, but it doesn't look like he was in a fatigue situation.

Thanks, guys.
Never occured to me to consider H&R.

Well, that is very interesting and something to always consider when looking at Pitcher injury reveals.
