Caught Stealing - Wild Pitch/Passed Ball

Wild Pitch/Passed Ball

If a runner is making no attempt to advance to the next base until there is a wild pitch or passed ball, and is then put out trying to advance to the next base, this runner is not caught stealing. The runner is put out on a fielder's choice, and a wild pitch/passed ball would not be charged to the pitcher or catcher.

    What thing her body was.””

    “Love took up the glass of Time, and turned it in his glowing hands;
    Every moment, lightly shaken, ran itself in golden sands.
    Love took up the harp of Life, and smote on all the chords with
    might;
    Smote the chord of Self, that, trembling, passed in music out of sight.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “Knowing what you can not do is more important than knowing what you can do. In fact, that’s good taste.”
