This isn't just a softball issue. I see equally bad rule knowledge amongst baseball announcers. Announcers must not feel that knowing the rules is important enough or else they would actually open the rule book and read it.

Perhaps the problem is that we, being umpires ourselves, expect too much from announcers. Perhaps it is better that they spend their time reading up on the next team they will be announcing so they can tell us the players' names correctly, their stats, and how they have be doing as of late.
