Agrees with WWTB

DG
Pete in AZ
PWL

Disagrees with WWTB
every other umpire on the planet and every rules interpretation known to man.

Jicecone - probably misreading PBUC interp
DG - ?
Pete in AZ - quoted wrong rule
PWL - SFB

What Wuz That Bad Call? You should just admit you "blew" this one! (Because you did!)

The fact that a couple of you have to discuss an intangleble interpretation of an umpires ability to determine intent of a batter, batter/runner or runner (for the confused), is now beyond nauseum.

I did read and fully understand PBUC, and realize that it does NOT tell you what is, and is not intent. But, I guess those of you that can walk on water and perform other miracles actually want to convince us that you have advanced way beyond that. In fact your are so confident, you are willing to spend most of your awake hours, trying to convinece others that ONLY YOU FEW, possess this hidden talent.

As I said before, if you want to call your game that way and it makes you happy, "GO FOR IT." In fact, the ruling neither supports your call or mine, as long as it leaves open the umpires decision to discern "Intent."

I realize the season hasn't started yet and your bored but, for gods sake, get a life.

IF TC, Garth, Jenkins were to post that they would call the batter/runner out, most of you would be moist with anticipation to follow their every word. Well spend some of your time and mind, make a decision and sink or swim baby.
