I guess I meant most of it, Warren
Warren:
I don't have a problem calling most parts of the game by the book. Except for the ignoring of the Strike Zone rule, I believe most Umpires follow the book pretty
well. I'm not a rules nut, but my games tend to be played "according to the rules".
I'm intrigued by your examples, and wonder if we also have Australian Rules Baseball, as well as Football. (grin)
1) In my games, F3,F4,F5, and F6 better line up in infield positions, or there would be so many bunts there never would be an infield fly.
2) In my games, whether the ball beat the runner or vice-versa, has a definite effect on safe or out calls.
3) In my games, a force-out is achieved by the fielder touching the base with the ball in his possession, before the runner touches it. If the runner slides by, shame on him.
My original aim was to generate interest in giving the Pitcher back his top half of the Strike Zone. I'd settle for the rest of the game staying the same. (grin)
