Why do people try to cover for nothing more than an error?

Amen, Tim! Sometimes I think I'm talking to a wall. This rule is not that difficult to comprehend.

My understanding is he threw 10 straight balls that weren't even close. I bet the manager came out and told the crew "Something is wrong with my pitcher but he won't tell me. Can I take him out now so it won't get worse?"
Considering the crew talked a bit about it before letting the trip happen there had to be some discussion about an injury, and is any MLB umpire going to stop a manager when there is even a small hint of an injury. They are umpires not doctors or trainers. |

Just my opinion. |

Absent an injury or a substitute for the batter, F1 must finish the at bat or complete the inning, whichever comes first. |
In addition, if it would have been an injury, the PU should have accompanied the Padres manager to the mound to ensure it was, in fact, an injury.

Well usually after four pages of threads, someone has found out why they screwed this up. (and they did) Any inside info here.

OK, so all the conversation about the 2nd visit during the same batter has been related to OBR. What about FED? Actually had this sitch this weekend in a V game. Pitcher threw 2 balls way outside and Skip asks for Time for a conference (#2 of the game), granted. Next pitch sails over the catcher's head and Skip comes out of the dugout again but before reaching the foul line, looks at me and says "oh, wait, that's right. I can't go out until the next batter can I." Turns around and goes back in the dugout without waiting for an answer.
I know that is true for OBR, but what about FED? I couldn't find anything stating that you couldn't go out multiple times during the same batter as long as you complied with the substitution rules and number of charged conferences. So FED allows multiple trips during the same at bat? |
