I kinda understand your point.
But logical? The intent of the rule? 1b was stretching away from br.
I incorrectly applied the written rule. And I will never drive over 55 again...unless the wildfire is coming up behind me at 56.
To fundamentally change the game...boot a play, but use the double base rule to get the br out...when there should have been no possible way of doing so??
I guess we could play cross-out or play with a nerf ball. Actually...those little play areas at McDonalds...with the inflatable walls and hundreds of inflatable balls...that would be a logical place to safely play a fastpitch game??
I hope someday...common sense can be invented!!
