Actually, the dumbest rule in all of FED baseball is the immediate dead ball on a balk. At least I thought that when my son played and his two-run double was negated because the pitcher didn't pause after going set.

Or has FED finally come to its senses and changed that rule? I don't umpire FED baseball, so I don't have any idea.

It's still an immediate dead ball.

It's also why when you call a balk you call it VERY forcefully so hopefully everyone will stop and F1 doesn't deliver the pitch.

At least that rule has its basis in OBR. It's just a shame that FED hasn't progressed the six decades since then.
