Well, they are in most areas, including mine.

I think you might be mistaken in regards to "most areas". The number of states and local regions prohibiting protests has increased significantly in the past ten years. I don't know if it has reached a majority yet, but if not, it's headed that way.

Define most areas. I thought it was a decision by states that use FED rules to adopt or not adopt this rule.

Regardless of who's responsibility it is to award bases it is the entire crew's responsibility to make sure that the rules are applied properly. If I miss-apply a rule I want my partner(s) to inform me of my mistake immediately and I would do likewise.

How embarrassing it must be to have a protest filed because the officiating crew didn't know the rules and how to apply them correctly.

The last time we discussed this issue of protests in FEDland, only a few chimed in that protests weren't allowed in their state. Most replied that they are. If you have some kind of inside information to the contrary, why don't you share it with the rest of us? I have searched for public statistics concerning this, and have had no success.

Let's keep it to baseball and not politics please.

Any personal attacks or anything else inappropriate needs to be reported through the board tools.

Thanks,

Brad, the moderators have never cared if the guy from Aerosmith personally attacks people.

Well, right now I am the only moderator ... and we are working on getting a team of moderators together along with a revised discussion board.

Anyone interested can email me at [email protected] letting me know their interest.

Thanks,
Brad

You need to define personal attack. It's happened to me many times, but the difference is I don't whine to the moderators or administrators about it. You've done it several times in the past yourself to me.

IMO, if you whine and cry to others, you don't need on the field calling the game. Perhaps the dugout would be more appropriate.

I'm sure you will take great exception to this post.............as usual.

I have never seen your name until today, as I don't frequent the baseball boards ... but in every post I have seen of yours so far your tone is awful. When you say things like the above, you are going to rub people the wrong way.

I also wonder why you have a political statement in your signature. Doesn't really seem to serve any purpose other than to cause disputes that have nothing to do with officiating.

I for one am glad that the board tools of which you speak will once again be utilized as designed.
