In two cases they are interps from people no longer making interps. And none are from people who provide interps for MLB. |

FWIW, Wendelstedt does not recognize this appeal. It is in his 2008 Rules and Mechanics manual.
Since I am of the hard headed sort, I am not going to allow this appeal for any OBR game since I have something in writing from 2008. As far as NCAA, I am going to have to check around. |

Do rules/laws expire when the persons passing them leave office? Not where I live. I never said they covered MLB - I said FED, NCAA, and PBUC. So you don't like the rulings. Evans doesn't like the MLB ruling that you can overrun first on a walk. People have differing opinions on how things should be interpreted. That doesn't mean one can ignore the official ones in the applicable venues. |

BTW gang, I had a walk-off walk this year and B1 "almost" went into the dugout. You had to see F2 chase him to first trying to tag him, which he did, with no call from me. Losing coach: (Who, considering all factors, was quite reasonable) "My player tagged the kid." Me: "Well, he touched the batter-runner with the ball, It wasn't a tag." Coach: "What?" Me: "You may tag someone only if he is in peril of being thrown out. You can't tag a runner on his way to first after a walk." Coach: "Then the batter was out of the baseline." Me: "A tag play must be in progress to call a runner out of the baseline." Coach: "Right. My kid tagged him." .. and so on. Logic that would give Thomas Aquinas a stiff neck. Ace in CT |
Interesting that Wendelstedt teaches one thing in their book, then when their honor grads go to PBUC, they have to learn something different.

I guess I don't understand why at "pro school" where they train all umpires who are in the pro system, stuff that won't apply to them when the move on to the next level.
Is Wendel or Evans teaching more concept in those principles and that's why they teach it that way? |
Gameplay situation I need a ruling on

At least there has been some rules disussions/interpretations vs. the opinions of whether a certain MLB umpire is any good. :rolleyes:
