Two and two is four.

There, we've now exchanged platitudinous truisms. Are we bonding yet?

Oh, it's you. Sorry I didn't recognize you at first. Here....join your previous incarnations on the ignore list. Say "hi" to STB for me.

That's what I figured, too, but lands and settles are not synonymous, and since half the world seems to think that a ball that first hits on foul territory is immediately, automatically, and forever foul, I'm glad you pointed that out.

I've seen a ball settle in that little triangle several times in baseball. In fast-pitch softball, it's actually fairly common.

"Does anyone, other than adults, play slow pitch softball anymore?"

I think that some high schools actually do have SP programs, though not where I ever umpired.
