To the contrary, I don't think it's absurd at all. My concern is for first base, no where near the vicinity of the base, fields the ball and F9 is the cover person. Threw me for a loop because I have F9 charging in to cover the base while I'm trying to get the angle on the throw.
It's a serious question...if offensive team brings it to your attention, qoutes the rule you quote, and asks you to make a judgment on it, what do you do? You tell me what you'd do and I'll tell you what I DID!
My concern isn't for F9 wearing the mitt. It's for F3 making a play when she has no intention of ever covering first base.
