Catcher Intentionally Missing Ball?
I was working a summer men's league game (local college players) last night. In the bottom half of the third inning the batter asked for time and I did not grant it because the pitcher had begun his motion. The batter struck out swinging.
In the top half of the next inning the catcher set up well off the plate. The pitcher threw a high fast right over my head and the catcher did not move. He had caught and blocked everything thus far. The ball whistled by my helmet. The catcher claimed he was crossed up but the bench was laughing asking him if he called for it. What can you do in this situation? |

Toss the coach, the third baseman, the first baseman, the bat boy, the center fielder and when you get them down to 8 players, call the forfeit...

You forgot the manager.

Happened twice in my career, both in Am. Legion ball. 2 years apart.
"Coach, change your catcher" You just know when it happens and without hesitation, you NEED to take care of business. Of course the one real idiot that is wearing the sun visor screen on his mask states, " Sorry Blue the sun got in my eyes." "Coach, change your catcher!" |

The catcher lost his walk on invitation as well. It happened here in GA. The umpire was even looking into a lawsuit. I don't know what happened to that. I hope he won lots of money to show this will not be tolerated. I know the school was fined for it.

I don't think the ump pursued the issue.
