There are many many many times when we enforce a rule for one and team and NOT the other.

Batter not in on-deck area
Coaches out of the dugout
F2 baiting a batter
F6/F4 baiting a runner
Pitcher doing a "don't do that" and we have to tell F2 to tell him to fix it

Maybe since I generally deal with kids that shave I look as this as common sense umpiring.

And if you're the coach and don't like it, tough.

I agree with Rich, if you came out on my field I'd give you two options. Enough said.

Wait, I missed something Rich is writing again for the main board????

Might be worth renewing my subscription. (g)

Thanks

Everyone is missing the entire point of the thread. Atlblue said he would attempt to stop a coach from stealing signs, and that is it good game management to do so. Do you agree or disagree?

I attempted to point out that it is not the right thing to do, but it has spun out of control and changed topics to coachs out of the box.
