MR ASA
But he IS Mr. ASA of this board! That is not a derogatory statement, that is not name calling. That is a deferential acknowledgment by me of his insider status in ASA. However, he did make conflicting statements about the PU mechanic with a runner on 2B.
Now read what I said. Thus Mr. ASA of this board and the ASA Umpire Manual have conflicting positions. That is why I asked you OK, but what really is the prescribed mechanic for a runner at 2B? I was looking for background ASA information that was not available to us just simply reading the book.
Do I have to interpret that statement? I am simply asking what ASA knowledge he has to support his statement that the rest of us, who only have a printed manual, do not have access.
Keep in mind that many people read this board, seeking information, and not necessarily posting. We owe it to them, and everyone the have correct info here. Anybody that read this post could be confused, but the majority of voices are supporting the PU trailing the B-R to 1B.
I think that is incorrect. But if Mike has supplementary info to support that action, then we all need to hear it.
I still believe that once a runner is in scoring position the PU should NOT go into fair territory. He should go up 3B line and attempt to support the call at 1B as best he can from that position.
