I think the Dodgers would be pissed that Juan Pierre scored for the Giants

The relief pitcher takes the stats for whatever happens in his inherited at-bat, except if he inherits a count with one or more balls in it, and walks the batter. In that case, the walk is charged to the injured pitcher.

Yea, this sounds right.

Rule 10.18 (h) Example (1)

(1) If, when pitchers are changed, the count is
2 balls, no strike,
2 balls, 1 strike,
3 balls, no strike,
3 balls, 1 strike,
3 balls, 2 strikes,

and the batter gets a base on balls, charge that batter and the base on balls to the preceding pitcher, not to the relief pitcher.

The count needs to have more balls than strikes in order for the previous pitcher to get credit for the walk.

Just like how if a pitcher gets injured in the middle of an at bat, and has to be replaced by a relief pitcher, the original pitcher gets credit for whatever happens in the AB.

For example, if the relief pitcher gives up a home run, the home run is credited to the original pitcher who left in the middle of the AB. If relief pitcher gets an out, the out is credited to the original pitcher and so on.

This is incorrect. Anything but a walk is always credited to the relief pitcher. Inside section 10.16 reads the following:

[ QUOTE ]
(1) If, when pitchers are changed, the count is
2 balls, no strike,
2 balls, 1 strike,
3 balls, no strike,
3 balls, 1 strike,
3 balls, 2 strikes,
and the batter gets a base on balls, the official scorer shall charge that batter and the base on balls to the preceding pitcher, not to the relief pitcher.
(2) Any other action by such batter, such as reaching base on a hit, an error, a fielder's choice, a force-out, or being touched by a pitched ball, shall cause such a batter to be charged to the relief pitcher.

pinch-runner for Bonds.
My recent purchase of an old-school fave 'Rules and Lore of Baseball' covers this one except that in some college game in the 1920's the batter actually died somewhere between 3rd and home or something.

Will look it up when I get the chance.

I don't know if this is analogous but a couple of years ago in a red Sox game, Gabe Kapler was on 1st and blew his knee out rounding second on what turned out to be a home run. The Sox were allowed to pinch run for Kapler.

Re: Baseball ruling - You make the call.
 

good point. maybe someone should have mentioned that earlier in the thread.
