Final Answers 1- Yes. As long as the ball does not touch the ground or part of the stadium (ie the wall, pole, etc.) it is still considered "live". According the rule 2.0, definition of a catch, a player may finish a catch started by another fielder.
2- No The runner is allowed to take off from any base as soon as the ball is contacted by a fielder. The runner is forced to wait to leave the base until the ball is caught by rule 7.10. However, by definition (rule 2.0, definition of an out) the out starts the moment the ball is touched. If a fielder bobbles the ball and catches it, or another player finishes the catch, the moment it is first touched is the beginning of the out. This rule is put in effect to keep an outfielder from purposely bobbling or juggling a ball to keep a runner from advancing.
3- No Since the out was made by Cabrera, he did not cost the team an out or prolong an at bat. The fact that Baldelli scored does not effect this since you cannot assume a double play. Not only is he not given an error, but he gets awarded an assist. In the case of a bobbled ball where Damon makes the catch himself, the official scorer would make a decision based on wether he felt Baldelli would have scored regardless of the catch being made. Given Baldelli's speed, the deepness of left-center in Yankee Stadium, and Damon's arm; Damon would most likely not have been charged with an error if he had caught the bobble himself.
Rule 2.0, definition of a catch:
Rule 7.13:
Standings
Basenoc - *78 pts
Ballis - *77 points tbrays - *67 points sdog - * 16 pts rrrjerdy -*14 points servo - *4 points
Congrats Base. I'll work on the trophy shortly.
