Fake Tag

Mick,

Sorry, but I don't quite get the point you are trying to make. Are you suggesting that there is no rule against a "fake tag" in OBR leagues, but the guy's teammates let him know that it shouldn't be done in OBR leagues whose players have day jobs?

I had a similar situation a couple nights ago. Nothing was called and the next time up, the offending shortstop took a fastball in the kidney.

Craig,

Rules against a "Fake Tag" are put in place for safety reasons so that a player doesn't slide hastily or unnecessarily into a bag and get injured. Hence, the comment about players having day jobs.
