Bob is, of course, correct. I wonder how many FED umps REALLY know this (or was I the only person in 2000 to pork this rule?).
I mean..... really.... I'll bet MOST pay no attention when the coach says, "Courtesy Runner for my pitcher!" And out comes little #22.. and NOBODY pays any attention, especially not the enemy coach, and I sort of see the number... but I don't actually STOP PLAY to write it down... So 2 innings later you hear the same bellow, "Courtesy Runner for my catcher!" And out comes running little #22... and NOBODY pays attention again, and I think.."Is that the same guy, his uniform is SPARKLY WHITE.. uh..." And a couple pitches get thrown and absolutely nothing is happening, and ALLOF A SUDDEN.. it seems the enemy coach WAS watching, or woke up, or something.. because he wants time to see ME! (who me?) and says, "Hey, Mike, what is the story with little #22 out there, didn't he courtesy run for the pitcher in the 2nd.. I think so, so he can't be out there NOW,right? What are you gonna do, huh? You @#%% #^# of @&*$^&! (OK, he just thinks that..) DAMN!.. I say. It only happened once. Now we DO WRITE THEM DOWN! BTW: What do you think OFTEN happens when this occurs? What did I do? What would I have done under the letter of the law RULES type stuff?? Mike Branch Member EWS [Edited by BJ Moose on Feb 26th, 2001 at 10:56 PM] |
