Thanks for the input fellas . . .
I kinda got what I expected. When I saw it in the major league game I ASSUMED that it had to do with an accepted practice.
In past games . . . I've always asked the coaches to wait until the...

I think . . .
the ball would be live because it had already passed F3 before it hit the umpire.
If I'm not mistaken, the only time the ball becomes dead is if it hits the umpire before a fielder (excluding the...

Now wait . . .
If the umpire is located in position B or C and is hit by a BATTED ball . . . the play becomes dead and the batter is awarded a hit.
Is that right?

I'm pretty sure . . .
You got the call right. A foul ball is a foul ball. And you said it yourself . . . "Infield Fly, If Fair".
The NFHS rule book reads it pretty easy, unless there is something I'm missing.

It was tough . . .
So it all boils down to this mainly.
If the catcher did not have the ball when the runner moved out of baseline . . . the runner isn't out?
And if he does have the ball as the runner moves...

I call Youth League Games to help out the league and because I love baseball. I have no hopes of succeeding higher up the ladder of "ball/strike" success. I wanted to post here because I thought it...

for my "commentary". I just came into this forum and started GIVING my opinions.
It's obvious there are a lot more "experienced" umpires posting here then me that do not really need my input.

Your questions GarthB . . .

Bottom line . . .
You call it how you see it.
1.) I call a strike, if I think it's a strike.
2.) As perfect as humanly possible.
3.) Use my bst judgement from the position I am located.
4.) Runner establishes...

Sorry again . . .
I think that's total crap. If you don't call the game by the rules . . . you're a hipocrite if you ever site a rule.
Unwritten rules? That's bologna regardless of how high the level of...

If I see that the fielder doesn't touch the bag . . . I call the runner safe.
If I see that the first baseman doesn't have his foot on the bag . . . I call the runner...

With most of what you said. Bottom line with me is . . . if I feel I'm out of position or don't have enough "information" to make a call . . . I'll ALWAYS ask my partner if he saw the play. If he...

Thanks fellas . . .
I appreciate the replies. I don't have a copy of the 2002 NFHS rule/case book so I wasn't for sure if they changed this rule or not.
The reason I ask is because I am currently calling in a 15-16...

That's right . . .
First of all . . . if an umpire makes a call. He should never ask for help afterwards. If he was able to see the play good enough and make a call under his own judgement, that is the end of the...

I don't know . . .
It is a huge pet peve of mine for umpires to call "FOUL" before the ball is actually considered foul.
The fact of the matter is . . . I think they should have considered the ball foul at that...

Wouldn't it be better . . .
If you just didn't make a strike 3 or ball 4 call immediately? Let the play at second happen and then make your ruling?

No . . .
That's why I feel there is really no harm in allowing them to use the opposing team's on-deck circle.

I kinda agree with Pete.
In that you don't have to eject a player in order to get a message across.
However, I don't believe you should intentionally call balls strikes. That's cheating in my mind.

Fair enough . . .
So . . . do we just not let the next batter come out of the dugout until it is his time to bat?
