So ,what you're saying is that out of 2559 threads in this baseball forum, containing over 26,000 replies, a newbie umpire will be drawn into this one and be all confused? Maybe to the point that he just throws his hands up and declares "I can't take it, I just don't understand?" We should be ever so thankful that you're on the job protecting the weak.

Not protecting the weak, but maybe to help ease the confusion.

Its hard enought to get a grasp on the rules without someone throwing in plays that would never happen.

If an umpire can learn the basic rules, and game management skills, then handling obscure plays such as you listed will become mere childlike.

So if you want to bring actual game situations, we're here. I haven't seen many of those with your name on them though.

Thanks
David
