Even with an ejection the only youth organization that I know that calls the offender out is Dizzy Dean.


Tim.

I went back and quoted my first post in this thread for you, SA. Notice in the post where I mention that Dizzy Dean is the only organization that I'm aware of that has a provision for calling a batter out for a carelessly discarded bat. That's exactly where you found that rule, so it still does nothing to support your nonsense.

What's the record for the longest thread that said nothing new?

I can't find any 6.7.1 in Dizzy Dean. I can only find a bat slinging rule for the two 8 and under groups and it's rule 20:01.

LMan,

I realize this is a very long thread, but post #86 already contained this humor. You need to get your own material.

You dont think I could actually stand to read all that, do you?? That it was in "Post #86 (!!!)" is indictment enough!

Well, I'll wait for him to post where he came up with that rule then, Rich. You and I both know that we discussed the Dizzy Dean rule on eteamz earlier this month. I pulled the rule off of their web-site then and really didn't see the need to re-confirm what the number of the rule was.

The original (as it pertains to me) RISING FASTBALL MYTH was viewed well over 3000 times and had just short of 300 posts. It was then deleted by the original author who thought nothing of the contibutions from every other member. I lost at least 30 in that one thread.

I deleted the thread because it was like arguing with a four year old child. Your use of misdirection by posting equations non essential to the debate became sickening, so I killed it.

The mind shudders at the tragedy.

[mcrowder]

The thing you guys are not TAKING into account here is LIFT. Surely you all realize that LIFT is the reason the batter is ejected and out. That AND random capiTALIZation of words.

Mike:

I was sure someone would RISE to the occasion and put a new SPIN on the play. Even though the MASS of the bat was PROPELLED with such FORCE that it FLEW into the catcher, there is no way to call the batter out, and that's just a DRAG!

Didn't I post a very SIMILAR example? I guess I just made this stuff up too.
