The Devil's Advocate

Jerry:

Thanks for the correction on Rally Scoring. I had a brain block, and couldn't think of the correct term.

In California, Rally Scoring is used. Varsity matches go 3/5. Lower levels, 2/3.

As for blaming officials: In 44 seasons, I never dropped a fly ball, overthrew a base, dropped a throw, or walked 10 batters, or struck out 5 times in a game. I also never dropped a pass, threw an interception, missed a tackle, missed a block, or fumbled. I never missed 9-out-of-10 free throws in a 2-point game.

And, I don't know of any official who has. I just love it when a coach/manager/parent tells you that you cost the kids a game. Especially when they lost by 10 runs or 35 points.
