Neither cryptic, nor sarcastic to the usual types of people who post questions here.

thats the problem with your philosophy of answering questions. IF I KNEW IF ANY OF THE EXCEPTIONS IN THE "HOW A RUN SCORES" RULE APPLY, I WOULDNT HAVE ASKED.

maybe its different in the baseball umpiring world, but in the real world, when someone asks a question, its most often bc they dont the answer. if your boss asked you if you are working tomorrow, would you reply "am i on the schedule?" of course you wouldnt and of course your boss would think you are being a prick. if your spouse (if thats possible) asked you if its supposed to be sunny out tomorrow, would you reply "what does the forecast say?" of course you wouldnt, unless you wanted to get slapped in the face.

its amazing how quiet this thread got. its almost as if mr jenkins werent scurrying away back onto his high horse, just waiting for his next chance to pounce on an innocent rules question, after being shown the lunacy in his ways.

steveshane,

Thanks for your input.

You got your answer, so how about you just run along now?

Your comments are ill-informed and absurd.

Bob actually provides an immense amount of value to the content of this forum, while you provide "less than zero".

Actually, I ran into Steve over the weekend.

I was in the local sporting goods store and he was asking the manager where he could find a bat with hands attached to it.

For one, if my boss didn't know if I was working tomorrow, I'd have to make assumptions he's an idiot, since we have a leave calendar, and I keep my boss informed.

But more importantly: you're neither my boss nor my wife. So it's really irrelevant how I respond to them. And actually, since you AREN'T my boss or wife, you're MORE likely to get the sarcastic version.

And let's not forget: you're on an officials forum, asking a question that isn't an ridiculously easy one, but certainly one that can be answered on one's own by looking for it. That's what we do as officials - study the rules. You don't want to? Go to a different place to look for it. Or at least don't wait until your feelings get hurt to mention that you're not an umpire, but a casual fan.

Mr Jenkins didn't scurry away; he was tired of dealing with your whining. Go away now.

steve, you've been around here long enough to not be surprised when you get slapped around for being lazy. Please quit acting like a victim.
