I agree with you RPatrino...that's how I roll too, except I won't take the time to erase them. As many of us know, there are far more important things to worry about in lieu of the stupid "in/out of the box" rule.

In my many years of umpiring I have seen some pretty weird batters boxes, most of which I have erased and gone with nothing or had them re lined. I dont recall having to call a batter out for being out of a box (drawn or not) but have warned a few for it.

I have called maybe one or two batters out for stepping on the plate, but never out of the box. I had a Legion coach several years ago get on my case about not calling a batter out of the box, even though there were no boxes drawn. That discussion lasted about 2 seconds after I told him I was stopping the game for 1 minute so he could draw boxes.

I would hope you called them out for contacting the ball with their foot on the ground outside of the box rather than for just stepping on the plate. Tim. |

Of course gentlemen, simply stepping on the plate is not a violation.

Had a game couple years back where the Home HC starts arguing the Vis batter is out of box. Pitch after pitch telling me I gotta take care of it. Well, it would help if there were actual lines on the field. Next time, get the chalk out of the closet during lunch and YOU take care of it. So Rut, just how many nails in Lloyd's coffin was that Duck thrashing? This is my 100th post. I know you're all happy for me. |
