Pitcher going to mouth part 2

[bigda65]

So is the college rule the same as all the others?

JC, your reply is almost word for word what I said.

This is my nephew, my brother called and told me what happened, and if the college rule was the same as mlb.

He explained that the umpire went to the manager, told him he couldnt go to his mouth. The manager told my nephew not to do it anymore.

I have several problems with this, you have a manager that doesnt know (which isnt very surprising) but you also have a college level umpire that doesnt know either.

I told him to ask the umpire what he was doing wrong (politely), if he didnt like his answer, leave it alone, speak to the manager after the game and convince him to address the matter with the assignor.

Otherwise not much else to do.
