Out (baseball)

In baseball, an out (also informally "away" or "down" when mentioning the number of batters currently out) occurs when the defensive, or fielding, team effects any of a number of different events, and the umpire rules a batter or baserunner out. When a player is called out, he is said to be retired. When three outs are recorded in an inning during a team's turn at offense, that team's half of the inning finishes, and it is said that "the side is retired."

To signal an out, an umpire generally makes a fist with one hand, and then flexes that arm either upward (particularly on pop flies) or forward (particularly on routine plays at first base). Home plate umpires often use a "punch-out" motion to signal a called third strike.

The most common ways batters or runners are put out are by strikeouts, fly outs, tag outs, and force outs; however, there are many somewhat rarer ways an out can occur.

The batter is out when:

with two strikes, he swings at a pitched ball and misses;
with two strikes, he does not swing at a pitch that the umpire judges to be in the strike zone;
with two strikes, he foul tips a pitch directly back into the catcher's mitt, and the catcher holds the ball and does not drop it;
with two strikes, he bunts a pitch into foul territory;
the third strike is pitched and caught in flight;
on any third strike, if a baserunner is on first and there are fewer than two outs;
he is hit by his own fair ball, outside of the batter's box, before the ball is played by a fielder;
he commits interference;
he fails to bat in his proper turn and is discovered in an appeal;
he hits a pitch while one foot is entirely outside of the batter's box;
he steps from one batter's box to the other when the pitcher is ready to pitch; or
he is found to have used an altered bat.

by: Sodastream

I've got a battered heart
I wrote it on my list
Didn't know what your feeling was
But it must be better than this
Don't go out
And don't give in
My head is in this country now and
Tells me i can win
So pretty baby
Show me how
These wicked ladies
Are starting to shout
With your head upon my pillow
I wish that it could be so cold
And despite your bleaker warnings
I wanted to believe
I wrote it in the sane
A single parting gift
Didn't know what redemption was but it
Can't be worse than this
So don't go out
And don't give in
My head is in this country now and
Tells me i can win
So pretty baby
Show me how
These wicked ladies
Are starting to shout
With your head upon my pillow
I wish that it could be so cold
And depite your blue eyed warnings
