Mike, are you saying the only need is to get the complainers to quit complaining?
Like that is even possible on a softball field!

No, that isn't what I meant by that statement. The "need" that doesn't exist is that of a rule.

The change is not needed because there is already a rule in place. My suggestion is to ease the necessary constant monitoring which only feeds those complaining and can be a distraction for the umpires.

The simplification actually benefits everyone, at least in my mind
