    In Baseball, if a pitch hits you on ball four, you should get to advance to second base.

        @neiltyson Physiologically speaking, baseball's got a few things wrong: man with 4 balls cannot walk

        @neiltyson what I think is interesting if you are hit in the strike zone it is a strike. I saw a kid get hit hard with a called 3rd strike

        @neiltyson the batter is only awarded 1st base, but not beyond (intentional bb must still be thrown)

        @neiltyson Would ground balls get lost in the dust before getting out of the infield?

        @neiltyson its a dead ball upon hitting the batter, therefore its not a ball

        @sagechan1 you are not allowed to debate @neiltyson. Besides he was just on a rerun of Big Bang Theory which I'm watching during the game.
