Is it just me or is the quality of posts these days going down.

You can't just claim 9.01c to make up rules!

And I'm sure there is a casebook on this play somewhere, there just has to be.

9.01c should only be used when something so strange happens that the rules couldn't even come close to. Like a coach standing in LBT! Its a rule that is a catch-all for all the wierd things that can happen in a baseball game, that the umpire should use fairness and good judgement when something happens that isn't specificallyl covered in the rules.

I hate it when umpires use 9.01c as a copout for their botched call.
