Filet vs. fillet. Both filet and fillet mean a strip of boneless meat. Fillet is the more general term, however, while filet is usually reserved for French cuisine and in the names of French-derived dishes such as filet mignon. Dictionaries list filet as also an American variant of the more general fillet, and American writers are indeed inconsistent on the matter. Some use filet even in contexts unrelated to French cuisine, and some use fillet. The same is true of Canadian writers. Outside North America, fillet is much more heavily favored.
There are certain exceptions: a player does not receive an RBI if he hits into a double play and a run scores, if a run is scored on a wild pitch or passed ball or as the result of an error, or if the pitcher balks. A player does receive an RBI if he is walked or hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.
Rules and scoring [edit]. When a batter receives an intentional base on balls, he is entitled to take first base without being put out. Receiving an intentional base on balls does not count as an official at bat for a batter, but does count as a plate appearance and a base on balls.A ball that is thrown intentionally for the purpose of giving up an intentional base on balls is called an intentional ball. pitch that is intentionally thrown far outside the strike zone for this purpose is referred to as an intentional ball. Informally, it is often referred to as a four-finger salute. This reference stems from the manager's holding up four fingers to signal an intentional walk to his pitcher or catcher.
