Carl, if you want to use an indicator with gloves, try NFL receivers gloves. The fingertips have sort of a tacky rubberized material that lets you feel the wheel. But why wear gloves when its a balmy...

Re: Wait right there.

Those who disagree with your position provide support from the rule book. Your point is that switching back and forth is unsportsmanlike. I don't have a problem with your interpretation, in that all...

Anyway, the easiest escape might be to declare the...

You only penalize if he leaves the box and delays the game. But one of the exceptions is when time is called. If Fed was as restrictive as you say, the batter could still manage to switch by...

Umpires are required to enforce the rules. But if you require support from TDs and/or coaches, you're looking for rouble. When you practice good game mgt. skills you enforce rather than cooperate....

Let's see, 14 posts, member 4 weeks. How did you miss seeing this posted 100 times. ;) Yeah, you made the right call. Put him where he would have ended up had the obstruction not occurred.
