I think PWL is on to something. Once had a VERY early Saturday game, 8 AM as I recall, and the foul lines looked like they had been done by a drunk. As it turned out, THEY WERE!! The foul lines were on the inside of the bases, so that the bags were in "foul" territory. I found someone else to replace the lines.
As Papa C. would say... Lah Me!! bob P

Unless the lines are totally FUBARed, you have to go with what the line says, correct? I don't think it would make sense to call what the REAL line would be if it were done correctly...both teams would be guessing at slow rollers down either line.

If lines are bad, I'll address it at the plate conference. Either by saying - guys, these lines are bad in places, but we're calling the LINE... or by saying - guys, these lines are unplayable - we're going to have to use our best judgement and call based on where the lines SHOULD have been.
But address it, to avoid problems like the one mentioned up above.
