Boy, we sure do agree in here a lot quicker than they do on the BB board. I was also looking back in past topics and Mike(IRISHMAFIA)had a similiar post and which he confer this would cancel the run but found it interesting he started the topic with fast-pitch only is there any reason this would be different in slow pitch?
These are just thoughts not dening the ruling but isnt this in conflict since in the rules it states that the next half inning starts immediatlly after the 3rd OUT is recorded but we are insisting the runner completes his run??
This rule also to me seems to advantage the defense, for actually making a bad choice on a play thought rules were made to keeps things even not to gave one side a advantage.
While I am venting on a another rain-out night should say I never have understand why we let a batter run to 1st after a drop 3rd strike especially at younger levels in the major this might effect 5 games a year at LL level I've seen this rule come into effect 5 times in an inning just doesnt make since to me.
Yes, I know we are hired guns to govern the rule not make them or interperit.
Finished Venting
Don
