I don't agree with it because it says all pitching regulations begin when the pitcher toes the rubber at the first of the pitching rule regulations.
There is no penalty for taking signs off the rubber. I don't know what you are reading, but it is not any of the 3 baseball codes in existence today (OBR, NCAA, FED).

Me too! I love it when somebody keeps arguing even when they've been proven wrong. Happens to the best of us sometimes.

Prove where I'm wrong. It's right in the rule book.

I'm not arguing. I think the wording in the rule book contradicts itself to begin with anyway.

I don't know the exact wording or section of the pitching rules, but the penalty phase, possibly 6-1-3, of the pitching rules says any violation of 6-1-
or 6-1-2, , says failure to do so results in a balk being called, blah, blah, blah.

Like I've said many times I believe it paints with too broad of a brush. I don't look for it, and I certainly have never called it. And I am talking about FED.

Feel free to argue among your selfs.

I think this thread affirms my initial opinion that if the coach was chirping at me about this he is a RAT.

Read 6-1-3. I think that is the one that addresses the penalty phase for 6-1-1 and 6-1-2.

But Steve:

The infraction is: F1, while as the P, does NOT take his sign (or simulate taking his sign) from F2 while intenionally in contact with the Pitcher's Plate.

Read my first post in this thread about the fundementals.

ozzy,

You might want to reread your NCAA rule book.

(I'm guessing Jim and Kyle had a bet who could get the dumbest rule into the book. Kyle probably thought he had a sure thing and Jim outfoxed him.)
