Diamond Defined: Tag To “Time”





From the 2006 book, The Official Rules of Baseball Illustrated, by David Nemec, I will present Rule 2 of the Code - the definitions of baseball terms - over the course of the 2012 baseball season. Today’s terms are: Tag, Throw, Tie Game, “Time”.

Tag – the action of a fielder in touching a base with her body while holding the ball securely and firmly in her hand or glove; or touching a runner with the ball, or with her hand or glove holding the ball, while holding the ball securely and firmly in her hand or glove.

Throw – the act of propelling the ball with the hand and arm to a given objective and is to be distinguished from the pitch.

Tie Game – a regulation game which is called when each team has the same number of runs.

“Time” – the announcement by an umpire of a legal interruption of play, during which the ball is dead.
