About Matt Smith Expertise I can answer pretty much any question dealing with rules of the game and players of the game after 1998. I know a little before this time period but the vast majority of my knowledge is 1998 to present.

Question SCORING QUESTION: Runners at first and third with two outs. Runner at first has NO wheels but takes off to intentionally get into a rundown, allowing the man to score from third. Worked to perfection---not even a throw home as runner scored standing up well before other guy was tagged out for third out. STOLEN BASE? I say yes. Official scorer said no. Runner at 3B didn't break for home until catcher threw to 2B. What say you?
Answer I love questions like these. Kinda reminds you of how in-depth this game can be. I would say that it is not a stolen base. It is an attempt however, if I can understand your question, if the runner got to home due to the runner at 1st then it would not be a stolen base. I am not sure of the ruling on this but I am not sure I understand the question 100%. If you wanna write my e-mail and we can talk about this further. let me know thru allexperts and I would gladly help you figure this out with complete accuracy.
