Is this a Lose-Lose sit for the runner? (FED)
"With no one out and R1 on 1B, B1 hits a screaming line drive down the right-field line. R1 is approaching 2B when F9 makes a sensational catch and fires wildly to F3 in an attempt to double up R1....

A low probability event
OK, it's not umpire stuff... but we are post season:-)
I think the Al bat is now a fixture of the game, and I'm sure some would say it's the reason there is so much 'pee wee' ball. I think what...

my mistake

My bust. I thought in FED it was an eject for a thrown bat period.

As for me and mine:
Seems there's two issues here. The first is the 'I'm mad throw' and the second is the 'I can't hang on throw'.
As a Coach I've never had a kid (9-14) dumped for the first. However, that is...

Advantage defense?
I thought the reason behind this ruling was to penalize the offense if they 'interfered' with the ball while defense had a chance to play it? In the NCAA case stated, and assuming it was a well hit...

not the dumbest, but dumb enough for a smile

Look in the book - not yellow pages:-)
FutureUMP,
From 'the book' (OBR), Section 2 - Definition of Terms
"A STRIKE is a legal pitch when so called by the umpire, which-
(f) Touches the batter in flight in the strike zone"

another option(s)
There's always the option of asking the coach 'So, ya gonna send him, 'cause I'd like to get on with the game'. This works best coming from Umpire, but works 'ok' coming from defense.

"Okay, 15 yard penalty for both of us!" Is this a FED/NCAA ruling? I've been through my OBRs twice and can't find anything about this? Where is it assessed from? :o)
