This year, I have done a lot of baseball and coaches say the darnest things. Here is the list of some of the things coaches said to me this year.

1. Balks can only be called by the field umpire.

2. Everything is protestable(Judgement calls such as safe/out, fair/foul, and balks)

3. If you tag a runner on the back before he reaches the base, he is safe because you can't tag a runner in the back.

4. Only the umpire in cheif can throw someone out of the game.

5. Pitchers can go to their mouths and touch the ball without 1st, wiping his hand/fingers off 1st.

6. Pitchers can have a SOILD WHITE GLOVE.

7. Pitchers must be set for at least 3 seconds before he can deliver the pitch

8. If the pitcher drops the ball while on the rubber, he can pick it up and a balk is not called.

9. Runners must slide feet first


And my favorite,

10. BALLS AND STIKES CAN BE ARUGED!


Just thought you all would enjoy the very knowable coaches I deal with every weekend
