Actually had a very tough situation this weekend... tournament. I'm standing there watching the pitcher warm up (2nd inning).. she is gardening the circle... Metal Cleats. "Rule changed they are allowed this year blue etc etc etc etc"... short stop metal cleats. I tell the coach he needs to get em all legally equipped if I catch one after this they are ejected.

The right fielder also has metal cleats

Ok so pitcher starts changing her pegs from metal to plastic, ss puts on street shoes (coach comment "be careful out there, hopefully this doesnt get you hurt"), RF has another pair of cleats.

Waiting. Other coach starts complaining that this real tournament etc. To be honest, I wasnt sure what to do.

So I started calling balls. One walk and 3 balls on the next batter and pitcher is in the circle.

That team of course loses by 2 runs.

It is really starting to suck.
