maximum MLB gamers can see what is going to take place on the play interior of a pair steps after hitting the ball. So, whether it won't get by an outfielder, what's the ingredient of working as complicated as they could for an user-friendly single. If the ball does get by, they could greater beneficial than possibly nonetheless be waiting to stretch right into a double besides. Balls hit to infielders are in many situations user-friendly outs so returned no could desire to hustle because of the fact if the ball gets by the 1st baseman, the batter can rather make it to first besides. All of that pronounced, there are merely some MLB gamers who will bust their butts to first ever which finally leads to an out whether the fielder bobbles the ball. i've got seen a coach turn beet purple 1000 situations over a batter giving up an out because of the fact he does not hustle. additionally, interior the NL, maximum pitchers do never run complicated with solid reason. Brad Penny injury himself final week by working complicated. I guess the coaches choose he hadn't. In rundowns in MLB, the runner is conscious he has little hazard to attain a base. If there is yet another runner on base on the time with decrease than 2 outs, the runner caught interior the pickle will attempt to occupy the fielders adequate to allow the different runner to bypass up a base. case in point, a runner caught between third and domicile will attempt to get caught working in the direction of domicile so as that the different runner could make it to third.

It's a waste of time, yes... but all bases must be touched in order for run to count.
Very unlikely, but the runner may miss a base doing his trot... if that happens, he may be called out... so even if he hits the HR, his run may not count...
Source--MLB rules:
Rule 7.10(b) Comment: PLAY. (a) Batter hits ball out of park or ground rule double and misses first base (ball is dead)—he may return to first base to correct his mistake before he touches second but if he touches second he may not return to first and if defensive team appeals he is declared out at first.
It's just like when the pitcher wants to intentionally walk a batter, but has to pitch the four balls... you know when the catcher stands up and holds his hand sideways. This also seems like a waste of time, but anything can happen with those four pitches... a balk... a wildpitch.... and strangely enough a batter can try and hit it if he's still standing in the batter's box.

As others have said, to have a run count all the bases have to be touched. There's always the hope that the other team will forget to touch 3rd, and get called out.....

Yeah, it seems silly, but it's just the rule. All because of the possibility of a 1-in-10,000 airhead missing a base and being called out.

They have to touch every base for it to count as a run. And of course theres always the occasional oaf who doesnt touch third base and he is out!
