Question

In baseball whats a double header?
What does "the stretch" mean?
Whats a 4-6-3 play?

Answer 1

A double header is when you play two games on the same day.

The stretch is the break in the seventh inning where fans are encouraged to stretch and get their last beers before the end of the game. The "home stretch" is the last half-inning where the winning team is pitching.

A 4-6-3 play is a typical double play from the second baseman to the shortstop to the first baseman. Each defensive player has a number:
Pitcher - 1
Catcher - 2
1st Base - 3
2nd Base - 4
3rd Base - 5
Shortstop - 6
Left Field - 7
Center Field - 8
Right Field - 9

Answer 2

A double header is when two teams play two games back to back on the same day.

The stretch could be two things!
A pitcher is said to be in a stretch position when he is on the rubber perpendicular to the batter. This position allows the pitcher to make throws to a base where a runner is on.
The stretch could also be the 7th inning stretch when many fans stand up and stretch. I believe first started by President Cleveland?

4-6-3 play is a double play where the batter hits the ball to the second baseman who throws the ball to the shortstop standing on second (to force out the runner leaving first) who then relays the ball to the first baseman standing on first to get the batter out at first. To understand you need to know the numbering system in baseball 1-Pitcher, 2-catcher, 3-firstbasman, 4, second, 5- third, 6-short, 7-left, 8-center, 9 left.

Answer 3

A double header is when u play two games back to back on the same day. the stretch is a pitching term it is when a person is on base they lean in and then set themselves and then throw. They dont got out of the windup because the ball is too slow to the plate and you can steal a base easily. 4 6 3 is the position numbers. There is a guy on first base. The ball was hit to the second basemen he threw it to the shortstop the shortstop stepped on the base and threw too first for the double play.

Answer 4

A double header is the playing of 2 games on the same day.

"The stretch" is a term used when a pitcher has a runner on 1st an 2nd or 1st or 2nd and does not pitch from his normal or windup stance.

a 4-6-3 play is a double play when 2 outs are done on the same play 4 is the second baseman who threw it t the shortstop who threw it to the first baseman completing the double play.

Answer 5

Double Header = 2 matches on the same day by the same teams.

"The stretch", has 2 meanings when applied to a pitcher it means he has shortened his delivery style of pitching due to a player being on base, also it applies to the games in September the last month of the season, "Down the Stretch"4-6-3 play refers to a double play ie 2 men out 4 = 2nd base passes to 6= the Shortstop for the put out @ 2nd base, 3= 1st base for the put out @ 1st base.

Answer 6

Double header- when one game is rained out, that game will be played against the same team 2x in one day.
Stretch- 7 inning stretch- its a tradition
4-6-3- players have numbers on the positions they play, 6 is 3b, 4 is 2b, 3 is 1b, pitcher is 1, catcher 2, ss is 5, 789 is outfield

Answer 7

a double header in baseball is when you play 2 games back to back, the stretch is a pitching term and the style of pitching when you have guys on base

Answer 8

PITCHING "FROM THE STRETCH" MEANS TO STAND ON THE RUBBER AND PITCH WITHOUT A WINDUP, GENERALLY WHEN THERE ARE RUNNERS ON BASE.
ALSO MOST RELIEF PITCHERS, CHOOSE TO PITCH FROM THE STRETCH BECAUSE THEY USUALLY ENTER THE GAME WITH RUNNERS ON BASE IN LATE INNINGS

Answer 9

homestead team is on the 1st base facet and the away team's bench is on the 0.33 base facet. The communities sit down in a dugout. field seats are the 1st few rows at the back of the dugout. Bleachers are the seats interior the outfield. wish this helps.
