SILLIEST RULE? " CAN’T COUNT ON A DOUBLE PLAY" WHEN FIGURING EARNED RUNS.’ CONSIDER BASES LOADED, ON OUT; BALL HIT TO SHORT, BOOTS COMPLETELY EVERYBODY SAFE ONE RUN SCORES.. NEXT TWO MEN STRIKE OUT. OK CLEARLY THIS RUN IS EARNED. NOW CONSIDER SAME SITUATION, EXCEPT SHORTSTOP GETS THE BALL, MAKES A PERFECT THROW TO THE SECOND BASEMAN WHO TAGS SECOND, AND THEN MAKES A PERFECT THROW TO FIRST, IN TIME TO CATCH THE BATSMAN., BUT THE FIRST BASEMAN DROPS THE BALL, AND ONE RUN SCORES. THE NEXT TWO MEN STRIKE OUT AGAIN. THE RULE SAYS RUN IS EARNED !! BUT IT CLEARLY IS NOT. SEEMS TO ME THAT THE FORCEOUT AT SECOND HAS CHANGED THE SITUATION FROM " DOUBLE PLAY BALL" TO A SIMPLE GROUNDOUT. THE RUN IS UNEARNED.
