These are my mistakes.
I missed these questions.
4, 8, 10, 12, 21, 29, 45, 50, 64, 72, 73, 74, 97 (I actually got an 87, noticed one wrong).
#8--I over thought. It is a delayed dead ball when the ball touches and illegal glove or mitt.
#10--This question is the reason I hate these tests. You have to finish a game with at least 2 baseball balls. I took a guess. Either way it goes we are finishing a game with any number of balls that are left.
#12--The Coefficient of Restitution (COR) is .555, not .700. Who cares?
#21--The rule does not say anything about the batter specifically. It only talks about the coach and team representatives going back to the coaching box or bench area.
#29--I just misread the question. It is not an illegal slide goes beyond the base and does not make contact or does not alter the play. I just blew that answer.
#45--The rules word for word states the foul tip going to the catcher's hand and is caught by any fielder is a foul tip. I just read into the question.
#50--"A pitcher may attempt a legal pick-off from both the windup and set position." Now I said True while thinking you can step off the rubber. I could not find any direct language saying this was false. I am still looking.
#64--New rules or clarification here. The head coach is restricted to the dugout if a request for personnel to stay in the coaching box has violated a previous request to do so. It is not an ejection as I thought.
#72--"A runner, who is the only one on base at the time and is attempting to return to second base when the ball becomes lodged in the batter-runner's jersey, will be awarded third base." I said true, but now I see why it was false. (Rule 8-3-3f)
#73--Only the defensive team may appeal a batting order situation at the time of bat. I was thinking either team.
#74--"When no appeal has been made on an improper batter, the next batter shall be the batter whose name follows that of the proper batter who should have been at bat."
#97--"Base umpire collides with a base runner." I said true without thinking of the actual definition of an umpire and runner colliding. It has never happen to me. I made an assumption and was wrong.
Peace
