Papa C can we add a new section in FED SEC 11 - STUPIDITY ?

I played baseball and one of the First things taught was DO NOT TRUST THE OPPOSING PLAYER In this example the runner looked up at Blue who told him to stay put and even after that he chose to go back - HE'S OUT!!! and if coach comes out I would like to be able to quote the new Section 11.

I realize if I want to call FED games then go by their rules and don't complain but common now this isn't 9/10 yr. old baseball here. These are kids probably shaving already.

Part of any game is trying to psyche out (not trash-talk or mouth bashing), but trying to get someone's goat.

I ask one question? Who really is the Fool? The Fool himself or one who listens to him?

No matter what rules we go by, we have to use some umpiring sense and when the Umpire Specifically says #23 stay on the base and then #23 vacates - TOO BAD. We still have FED's equivalent of 9.01(c) namely 10-3-g.
