Question

What are the most Stolen Bases a Team can get during an inning without scoring a run?

Think hard. They cant score a run and this is for just one inning.

Answer 1

3  

Answer 2

8

Answer 3

2.

Answer 4

10!!!

Answer 5

6

Edit: I want to steal Pinstripes thunder but I have to give him credit, he said it is 7 and I posted it and yea it is 7

Answer 6

7

Answer 7

8,and whoever was sayin steal 1st...YOU CANT STEAL FIRST!!!

First runner steals 2nd and 3rd=2

2nd runner steals 2nd=3

Guy on third gets picked at 3rd

2nd runner then steals 3rd=4, 1out

3rd runner steals 2nd=5,1out

Runner 2 on third gets picked off=2out

Runner 3 steals third=6, 2 out

Runner 4 steals second=7, 2 out

Double Steal, Runner going home gets in run-down and the runner who stole from second to third is charged with a stoolen base since the inning doesnt end before he makes it to third, runner going from third to home is tagged out...giving you a total of 8 stolen bases.

Answer 8

2

Answer 9

It looks like seven to me. I'm with BMWDriver on this one.

Answer 10

7. First guy walks, steals second and third, gets thrown out at home. Second guy does the same thing. We're up to 4. Next guy walks and steals second and third- thats 6. Next guy walks and steals second- thats 7.

Answer 11

5

Answer 12

6

Answer 13

7

guy gets on first...steals second and third = 2

next guy gets on first...steals second = 3

next guy gets on first...try a triple steal, get thrown out at home, but other 2 steal third and second = 5

repeat previous...= 7.

Answer 14

Before reading any anwers... I'm going to say 7.

batter reaches first... steals 2nd and 3rd- (2)- then thrown out at home

batter 2 reaches first steals 2nd and 3rd (4) then thrown out at home

batter 3 reaches first steals 2nd and 3rd (6)

batter 4 reaches first, steals 2nd (7)

I'm the 20th response, so I'll go see if I was right.

Answer 15

It is infinite because because a pass ball is still considered a stolen base... ie runner on third.... pass ball stolen base...

Answer 16

7 is right.

Correct me if I'm wrong but those saying 8... the trailing runner doesnt get credit if the lead runner is thrown out.

Answer 17

7.  First guy walks, steals second and third, gets thrown out at home.  Second guy does the same thing.  We're up to 4.  Next guy walks and steals second and third- thats 6.  Next guy walks and steals second- thats 7.

Answer 18

7.  Unless the last guy batting is AJ Pierzynski in the 2005 playoffs against the Angels.  Then, he can steal 1st and you have 8.  

Answer 19

6

first a single, then he will steal second then third which makes it 2, then another single. the runner from third will try to steal home but gets caught. so that will be 2. The same thing would happen for the other 2 but then will get caught when tries to steal home. that would 3 outs, 6 stolen bases, no runs earned. Hope that helps !

Answer 20

I believe it's... just... THREE!!

Answer 21

I have a feeling this is a trick question.......but 3?

EDIT: Didnt think of the pick off scenario

It is 7 right?

BMWDriver got it first

Answer 22

7

aw man he got it before me..

Answer 23

The answer is 7.

You can't have more than 7 because of the following rule:

Rule 10.08(d) When a double or triple steal is attempted and one runner is thrown out before reaching and holding the base he is attempting to steal, no other runner shall be credited with a stolen base.

Answer 24

1st batter walks. Steals 2nd and 3rd. 2 steals. 0 outs.

2nd batter walks. Steals 2nd. 3 steals. 0 outs.

3rd batter walks. Bases are loaded. Pitching change. Guy on 1st steals 1st base. Guy on 2nd steals 2nd base. Guy on 3rd steals 3rd base. 6 stolen bases. 0 outs.

Bases are replaced and the three base runners are ejected and replaced by three pinch runners.

Triple Steal. Guy on 3rd thrown out at home. 8 steals. 1 out.

Intentional walk.

Bases are loaded.

Pinch runner on 1st steals 1st base. Pinch runner on 2nd steals 2nd base. Pinch runner on 3rd steals 3rd base. All 3 are ejected and replaced by three more pinch runners. Bases are replaced.(A team is only allowed six extra people on the bench, in this case the pinch runner). 11 steals. 1 out.

Triple steal. Guy on 3rd thrown out at home. 13 steals. 1 out.

Guy walked.

Triple steal. Guy out at home. End of inning.

There you go, 13 stolen bases in one inning. Is that right? I think this is a trick question. If it is not a trick question, and no base runners steal the "base" then it is 7.

Answer 25

My guess is 7 unless reaching on passed ball on 3rd strike is considered a steal then 10
