O.K., after reading one of Carl's POTD's on Eteamz concerning factors of when to put ball into play. I agree that certain criteria be met according to structure of rules.
Here's the sit, MSBL game a few weeks ago. R1 batter fouls ball off. I toss a ball to F1. He does a little rub a dub then engages rubber, quickly steps off and tries to hose R1, I quickly come around F2 and yell"ball is still dead".
Now defensive manager is bitchin that the ball is alive when F1 engages rubber, I sez " not till I put it into play".
After game this guy is still hot about it, they had R1 dead to rights, but R1 had not retouched(or close enoughed)the bag. after explaining that certain criteria be met to keep one team from gaining an unfair advantage, skipper"s light bulb came on.
What really amazes me is that we have quite a few former pro players, college standouts etc that play this league, amazing idiots!
