That FED should leave it up to the coach to verify that all equipment is legal (like college ball) and not have the umpire check the equipment?

I don't check every helmet and every set of shoulder pads in a football game. Why does NF want us to check every bat? It's on the coaches in every other sport. The reason I won't do it in my area is because nobody else does it and I'm not willing to be the "gumdrop" that goes around digging for boogers. Don't give me a sob and a song about liability. Why make the coach mad before you ever make your first call? NF needs to get us out of the uniform and equipment policing business. You'd think that they would have already because they know we don't do it. At least not where I'm from.

IMO, the Reason NF wants us to check them is to make certain all are using the same bat specs meaning -3. They do not want some 6'6'' strong player weighing 200 or more pounds coming to the plate with a -5 or greater bat. Yes that should be on the coaches but NF most likely doesn't trust the coaches.

I have been saying this for years. Finally the NCAA got smart..... how long will it take the FED to wake up and put the onus on the coaches and the schools?

That would be ideal, but lesson to be learned is if one is going to inspect equipment, to actually pick it up.

If I have to be so blunt, "How the **** can you inspect a bat while it's in the rack?" If he done what he (as dictated by the powers that be) had done that to which he was supposed, this MAY have been avoided.

I toss at least 2 dozen helmets a season, though. Big cracks. I wonder if other umpires check and they just put them back in the bag after -- or the umpires don't check. |

I fail to see what a rattling sound inside the bat has to do with safety. If it has BESR on it, and no dents or sign of tampering externally then what is justification for not allowing?
