It seems like you can't prove me wrong and I can't prove you wrong with documentation. It apprears that the two sections of the rule contridict each other. Agree to disagree.

It's not as much as proving one side wrong over the other, it's a matter of reading a complete rule, putting all it's pieces together and applying it.

A "Dropped" ball will never cross the foul line. So, 8.05(k) is correct. A "Slipped Pitch" might or might not cross the foul line. If it does, it's a ball; if it doesn't it's either "no pitch" or "balk" depending on runners. so, 8.01(d) CMT is correct. So, the rules don't conflict (although they could be clearer). |

Quick question - which of you has been to an umpiring clinic? This isn't exactly the only semi-ambiguous spot (or awful grammar, etc) in the rulebook. This is one of the things we cover at clinics. Feel free to hold on to your incorrect interp, since you've not been to one. Any umpire who has will call this right. You'll still think he's wrong because you've not discussed this with the people who make such interpretations. It's not agree to disagree - you are being told the correct answer, so it's really you insisting on being right in the face of the correct answer.

I bet you are a real joy to work with on the diamond.
I have seen this call, called both way so that crap about it being called the right way is dumb. Just because someone has been to a clinic doesn't mean they know the rule properly, just the interpretation of the one holding the clinic. I have been to coaching clinics that still have a batter lifting their back elbow. I gave you a section that stated a dropped ball is a balk (How many dropped balls go foul from the set?). Another section was given that a ball must cross the foul line. I go by words in documents, not he said/ she said. Apperantly you have something against me or coaches all around, because you have tried to bash me in two threads. That is fine but anything you have to say to me from now on will fall on deaf ears.

Tell you what, next time this happens in one of your games, pull out your rule book, go out to discuss the ruling with the crew while you wave your highlighted section at the umpires. You'll find out in due time what they think of your assessment of the situation. |

Of course it was good enough for you... YOU said it. Good grief.

that's been done and while it can "prove" one side of the issue, it can't "prove" the other.
