now its two calls later and im asked via phone... does the batter have to keep one foot in the batters box while taking signs? .... NO... thats baseball.
And can they wear sweatbands on their forearms or on their legs? .... ok, common sense tells me that wearing a sweatband on your leg ISNT the manufacture's intended way of using that equipment.... might be fun to watch em try and wipe their foreheads tho... given the right age group.
But on the forearm and she's not pitching (or if she is pitching and its not distracting).. the rules seem to have no issues with that
On a personal note: i was mentored by much wiser umpires to find anything on a pitchers throwing arm distracting and it heads off problems later on, so that's what i use.
Since when did i become the rules freaking guru for our association?... i think they are just trying to catch me giving them a wrong answer. like i overheard last night... "little dude cant be right about that... its only gonna be his third year". grrrrr.
