What happens if a pitcher pitches the wrong type of baseball?
Then the home plate umpire made a silly mistake. He is the man who inspects each baseball before he allows them to be used. But, if, for some reason, the pitcher does sneak a different ball into the field, he will be thrown out of the game for cheating.
What is pitch time?
In baseball, the time of pitch is that instant when the pitcher has begun his pitching motion and, by the rules, has committed himself to throwing the pitch. This instant thus occurs before the pitcher actually releases the ball. Once a pitcher commits himself to throwing a pitch, it is illegal for him to return to his set. If that happens, he is charged with a balk, and any baserunners are allowed to advance a base. A baserunner's time-of-pitch base is the base which he has last legally reached at the time of pitch.
Can a pitcher switch from throwing right handed to left handed during a single at bat?
A pitcher can be changed during an at bat as long as that pitcher has pitched a full at bat to at least one batter. A pitcher may not be brought into a game and then taken out before pitching one full at bat unless he suffers an injury which the umpires deem serious enough to require off field attention.

Is it cheating if you change your answer just before it is marked?
Well It depends. If you change it after the teacher has taken it but before she marked it, that is cheating. But on the other hand if you change it before the teacher collects it, it is not cheating.
When a pitcher is in the set position and his left foot crosses the pitching rubber with a runner on second base does he have to throw to second?
Yes. When there is one or more runners on base, it is mandatory for the pitcher to hold his arms to his side before entering his Setup Stance. When entering Setup Stance, he must hold the baseball with both hands and come to a complete stop before throwing to any base, including pitching. However, if the runner wanted to be stupid and decided to run before the pitcher completes his Setup, he can throw the ball.
How do you do stealing in baseball?
You start running when the pitcher pitches the ball and then you make it to the bag before the catcher can throw it to the base you are trying to steal.
Woman says she broke up with fiance before cheating... man says she didn't is it considered cheating?
To her - no. To him - yes. It depends on who you believe. It appears that you believe him - as you say "she broke up with fiance before cheating"... if she broke up with him and met someone else then it wasn't "cheating".
How to deal with pain when throwing a baseball?

Pitcher enters a game in the top of the 9th. His team is down by 1 run. A runner is caught stealing before he throws a pitch. His team wins the game in the bottom of the 9th. Is he the winning pitcher?
Yes. Even though the pitcher did not throw a pitch he was the pitcher of record when the winning runs scored. So he would get credit for the win. Let's say this happened in the 6th inning: A pitcher comes in with the bases loaded, two out, and his team is trailing 6-4. He picks the runner off of first base before he throws a pitch. In the bottom of the 6th the pitcher is pinch hit for and his team scores 4 runs to put his team ahead 8-6. The game ends with a score of 8-7. The pitcher would be credited with the win in this case because, as before, he was the pitcher of record when the go-ahead runs scored. I cannot recall this ever happening but, by rule, a pitcher can be credited with a win without throwing a single pitch.
