When is a conference charged?

I'm done here. All out of troll food.

DG, JK and Bob Jenkins are trolls? In Bizarro World, maybe.

Reasonable and knowlegeable people corrected you. Accept it, learn from it and move on; or take your ball and go home. Your choice.

I'll respectfully apologize, guys. In my haste to reply, I neglected to read Mr. Jenkins's response clearly. In re-reading Mr. Jenkins's response, it is clear that I was wrong in my interpretation.

As for the troll comment, I was so sure that I was right that others were disputing me just to be disruptive. Sorry guys, my fault, my mistake. Don't hate me for it.

Good man.

Others were on the same track as Bob, but none were as clear.

I'm the "rules guy" in my association, the one the other umpires turn to for interpretations. About once a year, I learn something I didn't already know. It may be twice this year as the season is still pretty young!

All is forgiven , we all have our blind spots, and I as a local umpires association rules interpreter have the same experiences with you on a regular basis.

Sorry my posts were not clear, at least to someone, I was trying to explain the rules point in a different than Bob did. My apologies for my inadequate writing.

Keep posting my man.

Hang around and you will learn more than one thing a year here. But you must be willing to listen.

OP: A game I was at, the defense called time, came out and made a pitching change. No charged conference for changing the pitcher.

"The pitching change was not a conference."
Here is another one.
"1. HC has conference with pitcher, and replaces him. No conference charged."

I am missing something here. I read it several times in this thread posted by several very knowledgable individuals. What am I missing?

New inning, new pitcher, no conference. Same inning, conference w/ pitcher and catcher, pitcher replaced w/a new pitcher, conference with pitcher and catcher, resume game. This pitching change is not a conference?

No, it's not.

Spend some time in the rules book instead of searching for rising fastballs.

Gee the heavy-handed mod is now making the same cheeky remarks he would delete if they came from his less-favorite posters.

We all have our limits when it comes to serial stupidity. :shrug:

And some posters still can't distinguish between comments that advance the thread and those that constitute pointless personal attacks.

He deletes a broad range of posts that are well within the codes and standards and relevant to topics, etc. He also never, ever accounts for himself. I am a truthful person and sometimes the truth is something that is unpalatable. But it's still the truth. Many posts disappear out of sheer favoritism, just like the man said.

Saying that only stupid peoples' posts are censored constitutes a pointless personal attack.

Censorship is the natural enemy of the truth.

Not my proudest post, I agree.

But, if you want to push the issue, I'd be glad to be ... more straightforward when dealing with your posts and less "heavy handed" when deleteing post of those like boxstance and flowerchild.

I'm not sure I understand. How would you be more straightforward when dealing with my posts?

It is commendable to admit when a post isn't your favorite one.
