2011 Interps

Thanks Bob.

A) For the love of everything holy in baseball, FED, get rid of your R1,R2,R3, positioning and conform to EVERY OTHER mechanic protocal. I hate reading "R1 on third, R2 on first". Go green and save ink by simply writing R1,R3.

B) Please get the sub listing on the lineup cards ironed out. If a sub can enter if he is not listed, why do we have to require that eligible subs be listed?

C) I do like how they interp "last time by" and don't recognize gross misses.

Being there's no penalty...and..the sub still gets to enter the game regardless, don't worry about it.

I don't worry about it, I'm sure you don't worry about it, but according to Situation 3, FED wants us all to worry about it.

I know, the R1,R2,R3 thing drives me crazy. Can't we get somebody in the FED meeting to change this up for the next rule cycle? PLEASE!!!!! It makes it really hard to read.

If FED did change their runner designations...can you imagine editorial nightmare of going through their entire Case Book!

Sit 16: Haven't they recognized gross miss in this sit?

Sit 20: Won't be seeing any pauses in my games. Something will be moving.

"Entire Case Book". You say that as it weren't a puny minature paperback.

We do have computers now. Far larger publications have dealt with far more complicated editing issues.
