[edit] Page Title

Suggest 'Fourth out' be renamed to 'Fourth Out' to match title case conventions.

That goes against article naming policy. Feel free to add a redirect, though. --Locarno 15:05, 16 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Uncaught third strike

Would this fit under any of the examples in this article, since, if a batter-runner is safe on the third strike, the pitcher is still credited with a strikeout, but the defense now has to record a fourth out to end the inning? It makes sense to me, and I want to add it, but I can't tell if it fits into any of the examples listed. Cubs Fan 01:33, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

No that's Strikeout#Four_strikeouts_in_an_inning. Both involve an out that is not an out (and therefore there are four outs), they are otherwise unrelated concepts. They aren't even in the same class, in that Fourth out is part of the rules of the game; it can affect the outcome. Four strikeouts in an inning is only a "scoring" rule; in only affects the stats.  Randall Bart   Talk  21:57, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
