Whether it was illegal or legal, we don't know, but it got changed. To the laymen, it looks like one official overruled another.
And by the way, when it comes to rules, baseball is the same as basketball. One umpire cannot overrule the other. thing occurs.
And finally, your cut and paste tactics are unethical and misleading. I call people liars who regularly engage in misleading activities.
[/B][/QUOTE]Well, Peter, maybe you can please explain to me how my cut-and paste tactics can be unethical and misleading if I am directly quoting someone else's words completely verbatim, and not taking them out of context. That confuses the hell outa me, to be quite honest.I didn't make the statements; I just commented on them. And I'm not sure how my quoting someone else to the letter could end up making me a "liar" somehow. Could it possibly be that I'm a "liar" because I happened to disagree with you and Windy? Btw, I've already given you my opinion of the name-calling tactics that you both use, so there's no need to repeat them.
Just a coupla points on your musings above, while trying to keep away from flames:
1) You certainly got the "layman" part correct. Layman shouldn't insist that they are right and someone else is wrong when they don't know squat about the rules that they are commenting on. That's what fans do. If a supposedly highly-trained official in another sport wants to do that, hey, he should expect to be corrected when he is wrong. That's why I lurk over here, but never try to comment on the different baseball rulesets. To do so would just highlight my own ignorance of those rules.
2) Your second point on overruling was the exact same point that I was trying to make to DG- way back when. I was just pointing out that basketball officials cannot overrule one another, contrary to what DG was intimating. Well, that's when ol' Windy decided to straighten me out. Unfortunately, Windy did not and does not have a rules basis available that will contradict anything that I have said to date.
Have a good evening.
