Of what duty have roger and maurice just been relieved?
Roger and Maurice have just been relieved of the duty of watching the littluns.
Has there ever been in the MLB a pitcher who threw a 3 pitch inning?
Yes. Record held by many.
Can a batter switch hit after a pitch has been made in MLB?
Yes, a batter can change from one side of the plate to the either during his at-bat, but he cannot do it once the pitcher is ready to pitch. Rule 6.06(b) states: A batter is out for illegal action when stepping from one batter's box to the other while the pitcher is in position ready to pitch.
Can any position relief the pitcher in a baseball inning?
If the umpire is informed of a change, players can change the position they are playing at any time when time has been called. In theory, someone playing first base could be moved to be the pitcher. This can happen if a manager has run out of usable pitchers and must use someone who vaguely remembers how to pitch. And, if it is willed, that non-pitcher who gets to pitch can be a hero!
What happened to MacArthur after he was relieved?

What are the fewest number of pitches before removed from game?

What is a pass ball?
Passed BallA pitch that should have been fielded by the catcher but was missed, allowing a runner to advance a base.Note: this is not the same thing as a wild pitch, which is scored as the pitchers fault.I presume you mean "passed ball." This is a ball that gets past the catcher when thrown by the pitcher, when the catcher should have caught it. It is distinct from a wild pitch, which is one where the pitcher, not the catcher, is considered to have been at fault. The distinction between the two have no effect on the final score. The decision on whether a ball is a wild pitch or a passed ball is made by the official scorer at the game.
Does the runner have to wait until the ball has been hit to advance to next base?
No, he can advance by stealing the base, or advance on a wild pitch, passed ball, catcher interference or a pitcher's balk.
What went wrong with the new wembley stadium?
The pitch at Wembley is very bad and has been laid down twice, and may be laid again.
What are the standard pitching rules in softball?
There are tons of rules, many I don't even know and I am a pitcher. I have been called on these: The play is over only when the pitcher has the ball on the mound in the circle. You cannot start a pitch then stop. You cannot throw the ball into your glove when on the mound, some umpires believe this looks like you are trying to pitch. You cannot alter the ball in any way- this includes rubbing it in the dirt. You cannot start your pitch in front of the rubber. When a batter is hit with the pitch, he/she automatically gets to go to first.
Is a balk when nobody is on supposed to be called a ball and if it is can someone get walked without ever throwing a pitch?
A balk cannot be called if no one is on base. The essence of a balk is the pitcher is tiring to achieve an unfair advantage over the base runner. No runner, no advantage. If a pitcher, while no runners are on base, commits an action that would have been recognized as a balk if runners had been on base, the penalty for this is a ball. So yes, in theory, you could "walk someone without every throwing a pitch" --- (i.e), if you were on the mound and dropped the ball, that would be a "balk" and result in a ball.. The thing is, it does count on pitch count
What is it called when the pitcher throw the ball and it misses?
A passed ball is given to the catcher if he misses a pitch or fails to keep it from getting away from him. When the pitcher is at fault, it is called a wild pitch.
