Single on a fly(lf)B?

PostWed Dec 30, 2015 10:05 am

Question regarding a result in a game last night.

Koufax (9.57 mil) is facing switch-hitting Jose Oquendo, who is batting right-handed against Koufax. Man on first. Die result is a 6-5. Koufax’s card says, “HR 1-6; fly(lf)B 7-20.” No homer, so it was a “fly(lf)B.” I believe the rules for that situation say, “batter out, runner holds.” In any case, there aren’t any fly(B) results in the rules that result in a single.

In the game last night, the runner goes to third, and Oquendo gets a single. And the result says, “single(rf)."

Wondering how that could happen.

check Oquendo v lefties if his power rating is W a HR on the pitchers card becomes a single.

Oquendo is W against both sides. so that is indeed the explanation.

Thanks, guys. Wasn’t aware of that rule; I thought the “W” and “N” on a batter card only came into play on “ballpark” homers.

I think the purpose of the power W-N is to prevent hitters with 0 HRs from ending up with half a dozen off the pitcher cards. So ploughboy would have to be right and # present or not irrelevant. Otherwise every hitter is going to hit a few.
