If it's true that contented cows give more milk, why shouldn't happy ball players produce more base hits??

If a batter reaches first base because of offensive interference by a preceding runner ( including if a preceding runner is hit by a batted ball ), he is also credited with a hit.

If the fielder bobbles the ball, the runner may still tag up, even before the fielder has full control of the ball ( before the fielder is credited with a putout ).

If the ball is dead on the pitch run on, such as from a foul ball ( except caught fly-out ), the steal is not allowed and the runner returns to his time-of-pitch base.

* If the third baseman fields a ball and throws it to first, it is recorded as a 5 – 3 out.

* Corollary If X is a Banach space, then X is reflexive if and only if X ′ is reflexive, which is the case if and only if its unit ball is compact in the weak topology.

If the ball has left the field along the sidelines, the referee must decide which team touched the ball last, and award a restart stroke to the opposing team, just like football's throw-in.

If the ball socket were too tight, the ink did not reach the paper.

If the ball has a rough surface, the fluid flowing past it will make it rotate.

If the player either hits the ball through the correct hoop (" runs " the hoop ), or hits another ball ( a " roquet "), the turn continues.

If a non-poison ball roquets a poison ball, the standard roqueting options apply, but if a poison ball travels through a wicket or hits a stake for any reason, it forfeits and is eliminated from the game.

If the hoop is the hoop in order for the striker ’ s ball, the striker earns a bonus stroke.

If a team fails to gain ten yards in two downs they usually punt the ball on third down or try to kick a field goal ( see below ), depending on their position on the field.

* If the defence scores on a safety ( bringing the ball down in the offence's own end zone ), they have the right to claim possession.

* If one team kicks the ball ; the other team has the right to recover the ball and attempt a return.

If a kicked ball goes out of bounds, or the kicking team scores a single or field goal as a result of the kick, the other team likewise gets possession.

* If the offence attempts a forward pass and it is intercepted by the defence ; the defence takes possession immediately ( and may try to advance the ball on the play ).

* If the offence fumbles ( a ball carrier drops the football, or has it dislodged by an opponent, or if the intended player fails to catch a lateral pass or a snap from centre, or a kick attempt is blocked by an opponent ), the ball may be recovered ( and advanced ) by either team.

If, as Reid says, `` nearly all his poetry was produced when he was not taking opium '', there may be some reason to doubt that he was under its influence in the period from 1896 to 1900 when he was writing the poems to Katie King and making plans for another book of verse.

If Robinson was a liar and a slanderer, he was also a very canny gentleman, for nothing that Pike could do would pry so much as a single word out of him.

If his circumspection in regard to Philip's sensibilities went so far that he even refused to grant a dispensation for the marriage of Amadee's daughter, Agnes, to the son of the dauphin of Vienne -- a truly peacemaking move according to thirteenth-century ideas, for Savoy and Dauphine were as usual fighting on opposite sides -- for fear that he might seem to be favoring the anti-French coalition, he would certainly never take the far more drastic step of ordering the return of Gascony to Edward, even though, as he admitted to the English ambassadors, he had been advised that the original cession was invalid.

If the historian was convinced of his own correctness, then he should not allow his vision to become fogged by disturbing facts.

If he were to go with White, he would be out there two days, not just listening in the dark at some point between here and Papa-san, but moving ever deeper into enemy land -- behind Papa-san -- itself.

If we thus spent our very first day in the midst of a large number of your people honoring a new hero and a great national achievement, our last day, to us at least, was equally impressive and very moving, even though the crowds were absent and there was almost complete silence.

If there is much current, or the vessel is moving while dropping the anchor, it may " kite " or " skate " over the bottom due to the large fluke area acting as a sail or wing.

If, however, one picks non-optimally, after improving a sub-optimal component and moving on to improve a more optimal component, one can see an increase in return.

* Split ( only available as first decision of a hand ): If the first two cards have the same value, the player can split them into two hands, by moving a second bet equal to the first into an area outside the betting box of the original bet.

If one die is unable to be moved, but such a move is made possible by the moving of the other die, that move is compulsory.

If the persistence is too long on a video display, moving images will be blurred.

If the vector field represents the flow velocity of a moving fluid, then the curl is the circulation density of the fluid.

If the original penalty yardage would have resulted in a first down or moving the ball past the goal line, a first down is awarded.

If the bacterium senses that it is moving in the correct direction ( toward attractant / away from repellent ), it will keep swimming in a straight line for a longer time before tumbling.

If it is moving in the wrong direction, it will tumble sooner and try a new direction at random.

If objects are seen as moving within a rotating frame, this movement results in another fictitious force, the Coriolis force ; and if the rate of rotation of the frame is changing, a third fictitious force, the Euler force is experienced.

If the defendant moves for a mistrial, there is no bar to retrial, unless the prosecutor acted in " bad faith ," i. e. goaded the defendant into moving for a mistrial because the government specifically wanted a mistrial.

If a hellbender ends up in an area of slowly moving water, not enough water will pass over its skin in a given time period, making it difficult to garner enough oxygen to support necessary respiratory functions.

If the fluid being measured is significantly dense, hydrostatic corrections may have to be made for the height between the moving surface of the manometer working fluid and the location where the pressure measurement is desired except when measuring differential pressure of a fluid ( for example across an orifice plate or venturi ), in which case the density ρ should be corrected by subtracting the density of the fluid being measured.

If the truck were lighter, or moving slower, then it would have less momentum.

If all the particles are moving, the center of mass will generally be moving as well.

If the center of mass is moving at velocity, the momentum is:
