How are “infield hits” defined? Don’t get to the grass? Fielded by an IF?
I wonder about bloopers that land in the OF grass, but are picked up by the SS…

I don't think that "infield hit" is an official category.
Is it showing up in Gameday as an infield hit, or is it just something you heard Len say?
by cwyers on Jul 30, 2008 8:48 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
It shows up in the Press Pass game notes. I've also heard various announcers reference it.
Are bunt hits counted? Because some announcers differentiate between infield hits (which includes bunts) and bunt hits.

Bunt hits are tracked seperately, I'm pretty sure.
Anything that isn’t defined in the rules for the official scorer is at the discretion of the individual data provider, and most of the time Elias Sports Bureau seems to think that the point of having information is to keep the common people from having it. So I don’t know how they figure it.

The DPs are frustrating, but he’s a very good hitter. He had an OPS of above 900 last year, and he could do it again this year.

Hmm
Just an off-topic thought that I have mentioned before, but is no secret…
Watching highlights of other games, that Adam Dunn does not get cheated on his swings. He hits some dadgum bombs.
And now, back to the Brewer thrashing…

This team just totally
turned things around. Usually the pitching will be great and the offense not so great or the offense is great and the pitching is suspect but this seires both have been fantastic. Hope it stays this way.
