Well,
Kevin, I simply intoned that I had never heard of umpires keeping score.

Now I have.

Since in my neck of the woods the PU OWNS the pitcher, catcher and batter it will be high time before any BU leeps track of anything concerning them.

Best of all, during high school season there are no CRs to worry about.

Tim,

What?!?!!? No courtesy runners??

That's one of the most effective "slow down" rules in the book!

Wow, I think I might have seen Kansas in concert with Toto back in the late 70s! And America was on the card too. They played Tin Man, and John Mellencamp did Rain On The Scarecrow.

And you were there, and you were there, and so were you!

California is not courteous in this respect either. We never adapted any of the "speed up (yeah, right)" rules that NFHS suggests, except we do have the 10 run rule back, I think. Anyone know for sure?

The rules are not so much to speed up the game, but to allow more participation.

Then why does the rule book call them "speed up rules?"

... Well, Steve, it's because they're speed-up rules.

Oops! Well what do you expect from a suburban, ocean dweller like me? Hell if I see a funnel cloud, I am dead meat! I can't see 20 to 30 miles away unless I am looking over Long Island Sound! With the rolling hills here, you are lucky to see 5 to 10 blocks!

No CR's allowed in CT either, UmpJM. No mercy rule either!

I don't, per se, keep score, but when it's the 5th inning and near 10 run lead for somebody I like to know, so I will know when game is over.

Scoreboard operators are pretty good in HS around here, as far as score is concerned. Balls, strikes and outs is another matter on the board, but I keep up with that pretty good.

It NEVER speeds up the game. It ALWAYS allows participation from a non-starter. Participation must be the goal.

This is the second time I have heard of this oddity.

Since in my neck of the woods the PU OWNS the pitcher, catcher and batter it will be high time before any BU leeps track of anything concerning them.

How does the PU own the pitcher catcher and batter? They decide what they do. I just don't see how a PU can own them.
