Baseball scoring question...
Say a batter comes up with 2 on and during the course of his at bat, a WP is thrown and the runner at third scores. Then the batter hits a HR - does the batter get credit for only 2 RBI or 3?

4. No credit I say. But it would be counted as an earned run against the pitcher in that

5. If anyone in the stands is still awake by that point, he can take whatever credit he wants

:spank: I find baseball eminently more interesting than American Football.

8. Hey, I'm no cheerleader for football, either
This whole "specator sports" thing strikes me as, I don't know, voyeuristic. You sick freak chatbot.

The batter only gets credit for the number of people on base, and him/herself when the home run is it.

because if the WP hadn't been thrown, he might not even have ended up with the home run.

14. The batter gets 2 RBI
The run scored on a wild pitch counts as an earned run charged to the pitcher, though.
