Well, after my game today, I thought it would be appropriate to start one on the most misunderstood rules by coaches. I had two of them today.


Situation 1 -1st and 2nd, groundball hits R1. Time, send batter runner to first and R2 back to second. What do you think the coach said?

Need more info. If this were a game played by FED rules, the coach could have a valid point. In FED, the terminology "willfully and deliberately with obvious Intent" is not in their rules. Let's assume a "Tailor made DP" and the ball hits R1. In FED we could ring up 2 unlike OBR.

Situation 2 - Runner on 1st, right hander throws over and throws it into dead ball territory. R1 to third. What do you think coach said?

The coach if he is a good coach probably said "Hey Blue wasn't F1 on the rubber"

Therefore, before you "Rant" provide more info so that a quality answer can follow. With the lack of info you provided it's difficult.
