What is "Runner's Fielder's Choice?"
Jose Suarez
listed this in the Cubs's seventh inning:
-J Girardi out at second on runner's fielder's choice.
The box score didn't indicate he was caught stealing.
To anyone who watched the game: I assume that means he was hung up
(baserunning error) or something like that. Can you post what happened?
I've never heard the term "runner's fielder's choice" before, but it sounds
like a term for being hung up between the bases.

Could be, but I don't know -- I didn't see the game. It used to be that when
someone was out trying to stretch a hit, the game log would say something
like:
- Girardi singled to left, out at second, Cedeño to Ordoñez.
That's pretty clear what happened. Or maybe he overran the base?
Just trying to visualize what happened...
(Geek alert: Since I was a kid, I've loved pouring through the box score of
a game I couldn't watch and visualizing the entire game batter-by-batter.
*Especially a Mets victory*. Now with game logs, its a little easier, but
this one got by me.)

Girardi was on first and tried to advance to second on a passed ball. The
ball didn't get very far away from Piazza and he picked it up and threw
Girardi out at second.
