Obstruction

[cardinalfan]

...So when I played Little League back in the day and we chattered "hey batter batter" between every pitch... we could have possibly been called with obstruction if you substituted "runner" for "batter"?
I feel awful. I think I owe a lot of apologies!

Only if you yelled "swing" as the pitch is delivered.

One of the leagues (5-12 year olds) in which my son calls has that rule. The defense can chatter all they want, but cannot say swing or anything that sounds like swing.

What if they say, "Simon says swing"?

you could pull out the sportsmanship issue for FED...if the bench jockeying has simply gone too far...put an end to it...ultimately the coaches should be the examples, but we know that's not always the case.
