This is ghastly! ATTN: Carl Childress

All;

I just went over to McGriffs and saw a thread where Bob Jenkins says that there are two different versions of OBR. (TSN and NBC) This is ghastly. OBR is disorganized enough without there being two versions.

Bob mentions that one of the differences is in rule 8.06 and he cannot remember where the other difference(s) are. Does anyone know where these other difference(s) are? This may be a question for Carl.

Peter [/QUOTE I know the 8.06 difference though it's not really a difference but a clarification. TSN is the version posted at MLB and it says on the second trip to the mound to the same pitcher in the half inning, the "pitcher is removed." The NBC says: "removed from the mound." At that level, he may return to the game.

However, in the NBC Southern Regional, where I was the UIC for about 10 years, we used the TSN pitcher rule -- without any problems.

Sad to say, I cannot find any of my NBC rule books. On the off chance there is another difference, I've ordered one and will check it out.
