Some opinion on Double Play

[Taiwan Boy]

First, I want to say that I have never played baseball in my life and that is why I post this thread.

Let say you have the base loaded with 1 out and you have a player at the plate. Of course the opposing team is looking for a double play to get out of the inning. But alot of times, i see the double play happen in this situation. So my question is whether the batting player is able to hit the ball to where he wants to (that is maybe a fly ball or line drive and obviously not a ground ball which will lead to double play) or he simply just swing hard at the plate and hope that the ball is in the air to prevent a double play.

So if anyone could comment on this, that will be great

Good luck to all on tonight's game

not sure i'm understanding your question here :shrug:

of course in this situation a sacrifice fly would be a great thing as opposed to a double play.........but no matter what a batter is *trying* to do, as they say.......Sh*t Happens!!
