Tonite, game 2 WS, intentional walk to I can't remember who and DVR messed up. Catcher is well outside before release of pitch. Anyway, it wasn't called and it shouldn't be called.
Point being; Don't be looking for that nitpick.

Just out of curiousity - Can you give me a list of other rules that should be ignored. I need to know so that no one can say I'm "nitpicking" by enforcing the rules.

It's the 234 (or whatever) "rules in error" in JEA.

iirc, this particular rule (a) was written when the catcher's box was formed by the foul lines extended, so was much bigger than it is today, (b) is read as "in the catcher's box when F1 commits to pitch"

Who cares about the release of the ball? This has *always* been interpreted as "when the pitcher commits to pitch" which is well before the release of the ball.

F1 is wearing a 2 tone glove(OBR). Are you going to call time and make him change it? There are several technicallity's most of us ignore. Of course if the other team complains, you have to do something.
"Don't look for trouble"

You mean like forcing a runner to retouch a base after a foul ball? It's in the rules, but it's not something anyone enforces as long as the runner returns to the vicinity of the base.

Very appropriate moniker.

Following a HR, don't give F1 a new ball until the BR touches home plate. Does anybody follow this. I give him a ball, so he can rub it, get on the hill and get ready to pitch to the next batter.

You have to actually touch 2nd base when turning a double play;) That one is usually ignored.

Not in my games.

OK - I appreciate the responses and perhaps my initial post was a little too officious. :o However, the BS in my "moniker" are my first and last name initials. My Irish mother is very fond of that name (and initials). So although I think its just silly when you make comments like this, she may feel different:)

If she read your post, she probably would.

I do. Learned from experience in a bad-blood game.

It's much easier to toss a pitcher for throwing at the next batter instead of tossing a pitcher and the batter-runner who got pegged rounding second, while dealing with the ****storm of whether a runner would be allowed to take his place to complete his run around the bases.

You have actually seen this happen? What league/age/country?

Rule?
