Yes, scratching the cue ball is considered a foul in pool.
I have heard that you should bet someone the next pitch is a foul ball because odds are over %50. This happens most of the time I pay attention to the count.
I think you're asking, "if the pitcher throws a ball that is waaaay out of the strike zone, but the batter swings at it anyway, does it count as a strike?" The answer is YES - if it were a foul ball it would count as a strike, so why should it be any different if it is put into play?
A foul can count as a strike if there is not two strikes. I f your fist pitch is a foul, that's strike one. If you get a strike first and then foul, that's strike two. Or if you gettwo fouls in a row with no strikes, that's strike one and two. If you have two strikes (no matter how you got them) you cannot strike out on a foul. So if you do foul in that situation, it does not count as anything and your pitch count remains the same.
A foul ball in a two strike count is nothing it count as a strike for the pitcher count but the count will stay the same and no out. In the case of a one strike count or a zero strike count, the fould ball is counted as a strike and the count will be a 1 strike difference. EX: 0 strikes turn into 1 strike 1 strike turn into 2 strikes 2 strikes stay at 2 strikes
it's a no pitch if it does not cross the foul line. if it crosses the foul line it's a ball
Hitting the cue ball in is a foul referred to as a scratch. The colored ball does not count under most Rules.
If the ball strikes the bat handle and then the hands it is a foul ball. If the ball strikes the batter on the hands he is awarded first base, provided the pitch is not in the strike zone and the batter has made an attempt to avoid the ball. A batter is not entitled to first base if he is hit with a pitch while attempting to hit the ball.
When a batter hits a ball but it goes outside the white lines (these line up with 3rd and 1st base)it is called a "foul ball" and it counts as a strike. However if the batter already has 2 strikes it does not count as anything because you can not "strike out" on a foul ball. You cannot have a foul ball on a bunt attempt if you have two strikes, however, as that is considered an out.
In rounders, a foul occurs when a batter hits the ball but it does not land within the designated play area or when they fail to make a legitimate attempt to hit the ball. If the ball is hit and goes outside the boundary lines without touching the ground, it is also considered a foul. Foul balls do not count as strikes, but if a player accumulates three strikes, they are out. Additionally, a player cannot be put out on a foul ball unless it is caught by a fielder before it touches the ground.
It is generally considered fair if a foul ball is dropped, as it is a common occurrence in baseball games.
In bowling, the pins knocked down by the ball do not count.
