      • That’s only if there’s an attempt to throw him out. Also, the runner establishes his own lane (until, of course, he reaches the demarcated lane).

  1. Is it a ground rule double if it hits the fence, bounces back and hits the outfielder and then goes over the fence?

    Edit: Apparently, yes it is!

  2. The Astros – White Sox game is in the second inning; Astros scored three in the top of the 2nd after the Sox got one in the bottom of the 1st.
