No. I posted the case from the casebook ... not a rule from the rules book. :rolleyes:

The Case Book is effectively part of the Rules Book.

Look at the bright side - there are plenty of other games for you to work where you'll never see him....maybe even the State Finals! ;)

I dunno about you, but it sounds to me like you're in a win/win situation....;)

Then that umpire is a real Chicken S*** Umpire to begin with.

The dang bat is always moving.

If your not sending the batter to first because you are analyzing the minute movement of the bat, then you need more experience.

Unless it is a REAL obvious attempt here, the batter is heading to first in my games.

My association would tell the coach he has zero influence on which umpires get assigned to his games.

At that moment, instead, you should have protested his misapplication of the rules. BY RULE, he was wrong.

I would have shut you down at the same moment he did. Clarify all you want - once you cross into telling the U the rules, the conversation is over. Don't do that. If a U has the RULE wrong (and not judgement), protest.

But you would have won any protest.

And I agree that the umps didn't have any clue what they were doing if they had both umpires talking to you at the same time.

Depends on where you are and who you protesting to. If a local committee of interested parties they not likely to know any better than any other fan in the stadium. Pick your protests carefully based on situation. If you winning 10-1 in the last inning, it is not a good time. If you losing 10-1 in the last inning it is not a good time. If you down 2-1 in championship game, protest...

Was wondering if it was 9 or 13.

I disagree with regard to squaring to bunt. If it were not for the casebook, this situation would be very open to wide interpretation.

I certainly hope it would not. Fed uses the case book, Fed, OBR & NCAA use AR's. All use clinics and rule interp. meetings. This is pretty basic stuff and should not be loosely interpreted.
