I was challenging the inference that JEA and J/R material was available by their authors/publishers for 9.99 on Ebay. The results of my accidental misspelling did not dispute that point. Is that clearer?

Another non sequitur

Why would this matter? Are you confusing the rule change for failing to run on a dropped third strike with missing home plate?

Even though the "dirt area" was included in the D3K senarios, it has no place in determining when a runner can correct his non-touch of home. The protest would/should be upheld if one should arise. We cannot make up arbitrary rules for which there is no support.

ok here is the answer...

In (a), R2 is not out and the run counts. F2 would have had to tag him for the appeal. In (b), it is an appeal play and R2 is out since he left the plate area heading for the dugout. The runner has to make an Immediate effort to return, of course this is a judgment call.

The dirt circle is in the interpretation from the NCAA Study Guide.
The JEA discusses the same point (relaxed/unrelaxed).
Non-touch implied R2 was inside the circle, and missed plate implied he had left the vicinity.
It is a step and a reach if we can't discuss these finer points within the rules or rule differences?

Can't I always be right? :) I can't always be right. :(

Challenge Denied

Seems everyone is cutting deals except the ones who stand to gain the most.

My statement was made prior to any bids, $9.99.
I would like to add MLBUM to my original statement.
The challenge that you saw it later at a higher price is denied.
The stipulation about the authors and included as if I had made the implication is also denied.
Is there anything you would like me to re-touch? :D

*sigh*...
Against my better judgment, but just in case some are confused...

The dirt circle has nothing to do with the play you are referring to. The dirt circle only comes into play on a dropped third strike in an OBR game. The play in question has already been discussed.

Read this thread again from start to finish.

I have been following this thread. It started as a discussion about where to purchase various study guides for the rules, and abruptly became a continuation of an entirely different thread--a thread in which the original question was answered a long time ago.
