You people are hopeless!

Every year one of you come out with a simple question, you get your answer(s) and then you argue with everyone.

Absolutely hopeless!

i'm done here.

If pitcher drops the ball and it rolls across the foul line without without being touched all runners have already moved up at least one base.

Never seen it happen.

That is NEVER an answer to an umpire question, "I've never seen it happen."

Sometimes questions are constructed, not as a practical matter, but as an academic tool for understanding a rule.

So, if something unusual EVER happens in a game - something you've NEVER seen before - your ruling cannot be, "I've never seen that happen."

What if an outfielder, with runners on base and after fielding a fair ball that is hit into the corner of the field, picks it up and, instead of returning it to infield, PURPOSELY heaves it into the stands? I don't think I've ever seen that before, either. And yet, there IS a rule that applies for that.

Happened in a CWS game once. Fielder thought the ball was foul, flipped it to a fan in the stands. Was the impetus for an NCAA rules change, IIRC.

That wasn't on purpose. That was a brain fart.
