I think 10.9 pretty well covers it.


I dont. Saying a persons name is not insulting or disparaging. A catcher saying swing also does not constitute that.

I enforce it in that manner as well. If catcher said "janice you suck" .. that fits.. if they said "janice swing" .. while a little cheap.. it doesnt in and of itself violate 10.9.


I would guess you are using the "other" part of that rule to come to the violation.. but enforcing it so strictly doesnt seem to fit in the 1st sentence of that rule.
