Merge discussion - Full count edit

Admittedly I am a baseball neophyte but wouldn't it make more sense to merge full count into this article? A full count is just a subset of a count, so I don't see a reason for separate articles. – ukexpat (talk) 14:35, 2 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Definitely support a merge. The two items are intrinsically related, a redirect would bring readers here easily, and neither really has a large article, so there's enough information to support a merge. A "full count" itself isn't really encyclopedically notable to have its own article, but the count itself is. — KV5Talk • 14:52, 2 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
Neither of these two articles has any sourcing at all. Spanneraol (talk) 15:00, 2 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Support merge, ensuring that the "full count" redirect linked to the appropriate section of this page (not just the top). umrguy42 15:44, 2 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Support - A "full" count, by any other name, is but a count.Neonblak talk - 14:37, 7 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Another Source edit

I don't have time for now to look through it, but here's an article of interest to this page:

Timmerman T. "It Was a Thought Pitch": Personal, Situational, and Target Influences on Hit-By-Pitch Events Across Time. Journal of Applied Psychology. May 2007; 92(3): 876-884. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.56.162.93 (talk) 02:23, 10 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Full house edit

Regarding these edits: I could not turn up any references to the terminology "full house" to refer to a 3–2 count. This glossary from Softball New Zealand, the governing body of softball in New Zealand, didn't list it. Although it might be a colloquial term used by some, I'm not clear there is sufficient widespread use to include it in this article. isaacl (talk) 15:45, 13 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

I agree that it should be sourced if included. I haven't run across anything to that effect either. EricEnfermero (Talk) 16:55, 13 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
I can't find anything on it either. Our glossary of baseball, however, has an entry for it, which defines it as a full count. I would consider removing the first definition from its entry if nothing can be found on the term. Seattle (talk) 03:09, 15 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
Let me check for accurate sources first on this, but I believe "full house" is an outdated term from around the Gehrig days. Garchy (talk) 18:07, 16 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Count (baseball)Count (baseball and softball) – Counts exist identically in baseball and softball. Unless we're considering softball a variety of baseball (which we very well could), the parenthetical should include the two separate sports in which this concept exists. Dennis C.

  • Oppose. This seems unnecessary to me. Softball is essentially a type of baseball. Rreagan007 (talk) 05:28, 28 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose, unneeded and overly-titled. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:39, 28 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose. The page name should contain the essence of the concept and not try to enumerate everything that uses the concept, though "(baseball)" is needed to disambiguate. It is no disparagement to softball to hold that it uses the count from baseball. Spike-from-NH (talk) 23:21, 28 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose, per the opposes above. BD2412 T 20:00, 1 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
