Wellll,

"Tim, what mechanic do you recommend using when there are less than 2 outs, w/1B occupied, and the ball is in the dirt, and the batter mistakenly starts to run, and the catcher mistakenly starts to go after the batter, . . ."

------------

I do nothing. It is the responsability of both the offense and defense to know the rules, the situation, and the compliance therein.

If this happens in my HS game - - - it happens.

------------

"Precisely, and I was taught that the proper mechanic for the Infield Fly Rule was to say "Infield fly, the batter's out", . . . "

-----------

On an Infield Fly I say the following:

Either:

"Infield fly, infield fly!"

or

"Infield Fly, Infield fly IF fair!"

I would never, ever say: "Batter's Out!"

Of course I am the same guy that as BU I have never asked for help from the PU in 36 seasons.
