This occurs when two teams have played an uneven amount of games. Say one team's record is 84-35, which is 119 games. The team behind them by a half game would be 84-36, at 120 games. Thus, the team with fewer losses is ahead, only because they have not played the same amount of games.

What does half game back mean in baseball?

This is how the team stacks up in a conference. For example the leading team has 9 wins and 1 (900 average) and the next team has 8 wins and 1 loss (889 average) and is a half a game back from the leading team. A team can only move up or down (1) half game per win or loss. Since the second team has one less total games played, and if they win that game, they will move up a half a game and tie the leader. If that team losses, they fall back one game.

Is the minimum number of innings for an official baseball game 5 innings if won by the visiting team or 4 and a half innings if home team is leading?

Yes. Each team gets five turns at bat, so the game can end after four and a half innings if the home team has the lead (and therefore does not need its final turn).

When comparing MLB records how can one team be one half game head of another?

A team can be a half game ahead of another in the standings if they have not palyed the same number of games. For example if team A has a record of 8-2 and team be has a record of 7-2, team A would be a half game ahead. If team B wins its 10th game, they would have the same record as team A and they would be "even". If team B loses its 10th game, they would be 7-3 and a full game back of team A.

An inning, in Baseball, is one round of play. Each team have half of the inning up to bat, and once that teams gets three outs, it is either the second half of the inning or the end of the inning and the beginning of the next one.

When is the first half in baseball?

In baseball language, there is no first or second half as one sees in an American football game. Now the game has nine innings. Speaking mathematically, when the game reaches its 4.5 worth of innings played, that can be called a half. Benchmarks of tradition are the 7th inning stretch which is the end of the visiting team's 7th inning. The time between the top half of the 7th inning, and when the bottom half begins, it's called the 7th inning stretch. In many baseball stadiums a song such as "God Bless America" is played, normally from a recording.


How are baseball team leads calculated. Ex.. Team leads the division by 4.5 games. How is a full game or half game determined?

If one team is 1.5 games back, win on Tuesday night, and the team ahead of them doesn't play, they get a .5 game so they are now 1.0 game back. If one team is 1.5 games back, win on Tuesday night, and the team ahead of them loses Tuesday night, they gain a full game so they are now .5 games back.
