It could only change the batting title rules for this year with an agreement from the union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serving a 50-game suspension, the San Francisco Giants slugger entered Friday with a league-leading .346 average, seven points ahead of Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutchen. Cabrera, the All-Star game MVP, was suspended Aug. 15 for a positive test for testosterone and is missing the final 45 games of the regular season.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Commissioner Bud Selig had said Wednesday ``we generally don't interfere'' in the batting title issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Qualifications for the batting championship are contained in the scoring section of the Official Baseball Rules, and Article 18 of baseball's labor contract says that if management and the union don't reach an agreement on proposed scoring rule changes that ``significantly affect terms and conditions of employment'' then the changes can't be put into effect until after the next complete season _ which in this case would delay a modification until 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But MLB and the union can change the rule at any time if they agree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cabrera has 501 plate appearances, one fewer than the required amount if the Giants play 162 games. Under section 10.22(a) of the Official Baseball Rules, he would win the batting title if an extra hitless at-bat is added to his average and it remained higher than that of any other qualifying player.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That rule came into play for the first time in 1996, when San Diego's Tony Gwynn won his third straight NL batting title, and his seventh overall. Gwynn hit .353 in 498 plate appearances and won when four hitless at-bats were added and his average still topped that of Colorado's Ellis Burks, Gwynn's closest pursuer at .344.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baseball rules state a player needs to average 3.1 plate appearances for each of his team's games to become a batting, slugging or on-base percentage champion. But the last sentence of 10.22(a) says: \"Notwithstanding the foregoing requirement of minimum appearances at the plate, any player with fewer than the required number of plate appearances whose average would be the highest, if he were charged with the required number of plate appearances shall be awarded the batting, slugging or on-base percentage championship, as the case may be.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Friday's deal, MLB and the union agreed that the sentence will not apply this year, leaving Cabrera one plate appearance short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the agreement is worded, the only way Cabrera would qualify for the batting title is if the Giants had a rainout and played only 161 games, in which case 499 plate appearances would be sufficient. Such a situation is unlikely this late in the season.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Under section 10.22(a) of the Official Baseball Rules, he would win the batting title if an extra hitless at-bat is added to his average and it remained higher than that of any other qualifying player.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That rule came into play for the first time in 1996, when San Diego's Tony Gwynn won his third straight NL batting title, and his seventh overall. Gwynn hit .353 in 498 plate appearances and won when four hitless at-bats were added and his average still topped that of Colorado's Ellis Burks, Gwynn's closest pursuer at .344.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baseball rules state a player needs to average 3.1 plate appearances for each of his team's games to become a batting, slugging or on-base percentage champion. But the last sentence of 10.22(a) says: \"Notwithstanding the foregoing requirement of minimum appearances at the plate, any player with fewer than the required number of plate appearances whose average would be the highest, if he were charged with the required number of plate appearances shall be awarded the batting, slugging or on-base percentage championship, as the case may be.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Friday's deal, MLB and the union agreed that the sentence will not apply this year, leaving Cabrera one plate appearance short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the agreement is worded, the only way Cabrera would qualify for the batting title is if the Giants had a rainout and played only 161 games, in which case 499 plate appearances would be sufficient. Such a situation is unlikely this late in the season.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Congratulations to both teams, and good luck to Goodlettsville in their game against Japan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 3:45 p.m.\u003c/strong> Ugh. Goodlettsville responds in non-demoralized fashion. They immediately put up four in the top of the seventh. You know what? This looks a lot like a Little League game. Still nobody out, and here comes Lorenzo Butler, who already has three homers. He walks. Another two runs come in on outs. They've been going at it for over three hours now. Tenn. won't let up -- a double drives in another. 22-15. Then - this is insane -- Jason Brown drives one over the wall. And just like that, Tenn. has their huge lead back. If Petaluma ties it up in the bottom of the inning this time, Tennessee is going to secede from the Union. Get this: open mic on Petaluma's coach, struggling to summon a Knute Rocknesque exhortation in light of recent events, and referring to his team's last 10-run inning: \"All right...I guess we do the same thing, right?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 3:32 p.m.\u003c/strong> The side is now out. But in their presumptive last at-bat, the Boys of 'Luma score 10 runs to tie the score. That deserves about two exclamation points. Down to their last three outs, they score 10 runs to tie the score!!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 3:32 p.m.\u003c/strong> Unbelievable: Bradley Smith hits a double; Kempton Brandis hits a homer; Hance Smith hits a homer. Tie!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 3:28 p.m.\u003c/strong> Infield single for Logan Douglas. 15-11. Danny Marzo flies out to center. Two out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 3:26 p.m.\u003c/strong> Slow roller to second drives in another. But now there's one out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 3:22 p.m.\u003c/strong> Holy cow! Cole Tomei hits a scorcher past the left fielder for a double. Two in, score now 15-9, men on second and third and still nobody out. Tennessee's coach has seen enough; here comes a pitching change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 3:19 p.m.\u003c/strong> A bloop to center scores another. 15-7, bases loaded, no outs. Duelling chants from the crowd: \"Pet-a-lu-ma!\" and \"De-fense!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 3:16 p.m.\u003c/strong> Petaluma's got something going: bases loaded, no outs, one run in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 2:56 p.m.\u003c/strong> Goodlettsville's \u003ca href=\"http://llws2012.bbstats.pointstreak.com/player.html?playerid=362162\">Lorenzo Butler\u003c/a> hits his \u003cem>third\u003c/em> three-run home run of the day, giving him nine count 'em nine RBIs in the game. The nine ribbies are a LLWS single-game record. Butler is listed as 5' 4\", 111 lbs.That's a lot of RBIs per pound. Score is now 15-5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watching on TV now, I just noticed Petaluma has a left-handed catcher, a rarity, at least in pro ball.
