fallzone Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 what is your max amount of k's in a game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee4Life Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 The maximum amount for K's in a nine inning game is 27. The most I ever got was 14 in one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorQuiz Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 In the game, I struck out 20 ( :woot: ) w/ a computer-generated pitcher in the year 2017 or so. I think I combined w/ 2 or 3 pitchers to strike out 23 or 24 once. But those are (obviously) outliers... usually a "good game" is any double-digit strikeout total.

RaptorQuiz Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 The maximum amount for K's in a nine inning game is 27. Actually... that's not true... a pitcher could still earn a strikeout, but if the strikeout is dropped, the runner could advance to first, and then another strikeout could occur. Thus, it's technically possible to strikeout all sorts of people, isn't it? Or am I wrong? Does the strikeout count if it's dropped and the runner advances to first?

meteamo Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 You are correct sir RQ. It would be a strikeout and an error. As long as the catcher keeps on dropping the ball, the pitcher can have more than three strikeouts in an inning. Most strikeouts for me was only 10 and I usually only get 5 or 6 at most. Pathetic?

sfgiantsflgators Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 To add to that, the only time it would be an error is if the catcher threw the ball away when throwing to first or the first baseman dropped a perfect throw from the catcher, in which the catcher would be credited with an assist and the first baseman with the error. Otherwise, it is either recorded as a strikeout with the runner reaching on a wild pitch or a passed ball, depending on the official scorer's judgement of the pitch. Neither of which, a passed ball or a wild pitch, are considered when tallying errors. EDIT: I think my max is around 11 or so - I don't strike too many out. An opposing pitcher has punched me out a max total of about 15 I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabiff123 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Isnt the maximum amount infinity? well if you wanna get into that...infinity isnt a maximum. maximum is a defined point or limit that can be reached. infinity cant be reached... in theory? you could argue that point. but as in most cases, relatively, its only infinity to a point. and if you think about it, thats impossible anyway. the game would never end if the pitcher rackin' up the K's is on the home team, or the game would end with a defined number of strikeouts as the winning run comes home. realistically? 27 is a good number to agree upon, even though its certainly possible to get more than that. gosh im a loser lol 10 is my max, done maybe twice.

Chanz01 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 For a dropped third strike, first base has to unoccupied as well, if there are less than two outs. For example, say a dropped third strike occurs. The runner would then have to steal/advance to second base for yet another dropped third strike to occur. So in this sense, yes it could be infinite. But not very likely to exceed four strikeouts in a particular inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Actually... that's not true... a pitcher could still earn a strikeout, but if the strikeout is dropped, the runner could advance to first, and then another strikeout could occur.

That has happened to me numerous times in real life, I've struck out 4,5 and once 6 batters in one inning. In MVP, my max was 24 with johan once.

kabiff123 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 so what your saying is as the limit x goes to infinity, f(x) goes to infinity where x is the number of innings pitched and f(x) is the number of k's. thats calculus for ya. man, im such a nerd... well i dont think it can work out that way. because if you're getting the strike outs but an error is committed each time, no out is made. the function would eventually represent a vertical line. it would be more like an asymptote...i think. anyways im not in calculus, our limits stuff was pretty basic.

MarkB Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 The sad part is that I actually thought of the whole "no maximum K's/infinitite number of K's" thing before anything else when I saw the title of this thread at work earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 statistically speaking there's a limit because reality doesn't work in mathematical theory. but technically speaking a guy can strike out and end up somehow scoring or even recording an out, so there is no maximum number of strikeouts you can theoretically obtain. on top of that, games aren't limited to 9 innings, so long as the score is tied, barring any called games. so technically, the answer is an infinite one. meaning there is no maximum figure. so that function wouldn't necessarily represent a vertical line. it could technically represent any number of lines or curves. so it's not impossible, just highly improbable since eventually the dumbass throwing the passballs or dropped balls would get taken out of the game.
