I did not say that every time a fielder double clutches, it's interference. I said that if a runner remains upright, veers toward the fielder and CAUSES him to double clutch, it's interference. If you, the umpire, rule that his action of running toward the fielder after being put out interfered with the ability of him to throw the ball - call it. PS - what the heck do you mean by "it's just judgement and will get you home faster" ... if that's your mentality, then you want outs ... and interference here is an out - arguing AGAINST the interference as you are gets you less outs, getting you home slower. (Not that this is my criteria... just that your comment contradicts your argument).

I'm not sure why Tyler and Rich don't see it - well, Rich is always a coach first, so there's that - but when the OP said both that F4 came across 2B, and R1 veered inside, it's really not that hard to figure it out. R1, after being retired, hindered F4's attempt to make the play. Int. Yes, "big boys throw, not double clutch." And in real, proper (ie, 'paid player') versions of OBR, that's just what they'd do. But that doesn't make the play any less interference, throw-at-head or not. (BTW: Nice idea, suggesting a 9 YO throw the ball at another 9 YO's head - can't see THAT going wrong in any possible way! Not you mbcrowder, but those what did suggest it.) |

Sorry for being out of the conversation for a bit. I was recovering from a surgical procedure that I had and the narcotics I was on were a trip
![]() Did you guys not know that 10U AAA is one of the highest divisions in the greatest organization ever (USSSA) ![]() In regards to the interference I thought it was rather obvious. The kid veered a good 5 feet into the throw of the runner. When I played I was taught to slide directly to the bag. If everyone did this life would be so much better ![]() On a side note I have become rather upset at what travel baseball is becoming. It seems that the umpires do not want to enforce anything and just want their $45 a game. The parents are crazy and think that their child is the best and never does any wrong. The coaches feel as if they know everything and that all the umpires suck. The players think that they are elite and can do as they please. Whatever happened to just playing baseball? ![]() |

Imagine how much better that 10-yr-old might be if he took $1200 worth of lessons instead.........

By the time they are through playing, the cost they incur would put them on the road to a college education. D-1 schools are only allowed 11.7 scholarships per team to begin with. Not much wiggle room for a roster of about 30 players.
