Question on dropped thrid strike

[greymule]

The Baseball Rules Differences is written and compiled by Carl Childress. It is "the only complete reference to all differences among National Federation, NCAA, NAIA, and Official [baseball] Rules." (Carl teaches English; note that he correctly uses among and not between.)

Carl revises and updates the BRD annually.

Even if you umpire only one of the codes, it's an extremely helpful book. For example, I couldn't find anything in the J/R or Evans about what the limits are on a retired runner who continues to run. But the BRD had a useful and informative section.

You can purchase the BRD from officiating.com

You always could in the past. However, this year it doesn't seem to be among the publications offered. I haven't been able to find it on any of the other outlets where it was previously offered.

Does anyone know what's up with the 2010 edition?

No, but we had a couple people who ordered their 2009 in Feb 2009 and didn't get it until August 2009. Just beware.

In this unlikely situation, if I have the dish, and BR gets in a rundown between 2b and 3b, the BR is hearing challenged, and the defense is mentally challenged.

So whose stupidity do you award? If I'm constantly calling someone out and he continues to run the bases, it won't take much for me to call INT if he causes a play to be made on him.
