R1 on 1st. Improper batter ground into a double play.

The defense makes a BOO claim. How many outs in FED? How many outs in ASA? That's radical if you ask me.

Along those lines ...

Unreported substitutes.

In FED, you get a warning. If you do it again, the player is removed from the game. Never any outs.

In ASA, there can be OUTS. No warnings. Outs! Outs! Outs!

Big difference if you ask me.

I'm not saying one is better than the other. I'm just saying that, in certain areas, there are RADICAL differences.

If you don't think the difference between a "warning" and an "out" for the same infraction is "radical", then you've obviously never coached a team.

I can assure you, a coach would consider the difference quite "radical."
