Ok, Dugout, help a newbie out. What was going on when Brown got hit by the pitch late in game?

Elander directed Brown back to the plate and umps huddled. Some rule I don't know. I get that he was hit before the run scored. That didn't account for all that was going on there. It looked like there was more to it than that.

Could Brown have just stood there like nothing happened? Wouldn't the ump have called him hit by pitch anyway? Do we have a choice in the matter? Only if he doesn't leave the batter's box? Or hoping the ump would miss it? Please 'splain it. Thank you in advance.

If it’s a hit by pitch, it’s a dead ball, so whoever was on third couldn’t steal home (but if the bases were loaded, he would have scored on the HBP).

If it was a wild pitch or passed ball, Brown would still be at bat (with either a ball or strike on him from that pitch), and the runner on third stole home. This is why CJE wanted it to be a wild pitch or passed ball because it would have been another run for UT.

Others feel free to chime in.

Thanks. That makes sense. Is it at ump's discretion to call a wild pitch or passed ball even if a batter was hit by pitch?

I think if the batter is hit, he’s awarded first. I’m not aware of any discretion.

With no other base runners advancing. It’s a dead ball call.

Thanks!

For those not happy with the state of the program, by comparison this is from the not-so-good-old days files: Tennessee backed into the SEC tournament when only the teams with the two worst conference records didn’t make it. Tennessee lost to Arkansas in the first round of the tournament and was done. Sub .500 record.
