MLB Rules: Is This a Trip?
As stated MLB rules, DH used, lights are on due to it being a night game and the moon is in the house of Grouch Marx. I hope that covers all the preliminaries. Oh yes, this was not my game, it was relayed to me by phone.
R3 & R2, 0 out, count on the batter is 1-1. Coach comes out of the dugout, approaches the foul line but does not cross it. He calls to F1 to put the batter on, then turns and goes back into the dugout. The caller asked if this would be considered a trip. I thought it would be interesting what others would do here. So what do you say, is it a trip?

That is exactly what I told the caller. I also told the caller that there was a signal to put a man on (hand parallel, sliding across the forehead) and that he might suggest that to the coach should he see him.

OK, same rules set. Coach comes out of the dugout and out to (but not across) the foul line, and calls the infielders over to him. After a few words with them he goes back to the dugout. Is THIS a trip?

Not unless the infielder then goes to the pitcher if I read the MLBUM correctly.

I don't remember ever seeing that. Usually they just hold up 4 fingers (tuck the thumb).

This is what was used when I played pro ball (eons ago). Take your right hand and form a salute, now slide this back and forth across the brim of the hat. When F1 or F2 sees this, it means "walk him". This kept the manager from having to come out and it was easier to see the sign with all the noise.
