Fielder loses possession; Ball out of play

[Tim C]

Now you've wounded me.

Dear Smitty:

It is NOT about knowing rules.

It is about standing up for those rules you do know.

You had a chance to repair an idiot using a softball rule to prove a baseball point. You slected to hide behind a fear of making him look bad.

How about all the other umpires that believed the crap he was spreading.

Grow up and learn to deal with myth makers and you'll do the game and umpires a favor.
