Unhappy What is your point?

Tim C:

I fail to see the point of your post. I was there; you were not.

I heard the exchange on the "Did he pull his foot?" play. I clearly saw the other plays.

If you have a question about...

Angry You are correct; I just made it up.

Tim C:

It has been a long time that someone has called me a liar. I refuse to engage in flame wars, but I will defend myself.

My initial post confessed I was being an “armchair umpire.” You...

There must be something in the water. This week, there was almost another “changed” call at a University of Texas game. The game was against No. 1 Rice. The crew: Home: Steve Emerson 1st: Randy...

Question What's the box got to do with it?

It seems we are mixing two totally separate rules each of which has its own penalty.

7.09(i) says it is interference for the coach to "physically assist the runner." The coach does not have to be...

Talking I am pleased to have been there

I am glad Carl passed my original post along to Jon. It is nice to hear his explination.

Some have posted that as a BU they will take action if they are 110% sure. (Ignoring, for a moment, that I...

Question What do you include???

Pete:

I agree with you on the importance of the pre-game. I am trying to put together a list of the SPECIFICS of everything we should cover. I am going to train a crop of new guys next year and...

Discussion from another board on which I would like your input. Please excuse the long wind up before the question. Situation: R1. B/R hits ball down sharply in front of the plate; it bounces high...

I think Carl and others did answer the question.

A swipe tag before the 45-foot line is the PU's call.

Guess who has the calls after that (including tags, lane violations, obstruction, et...

All called 3rd strikes are calls that should be "sold" (at least to a certain extent). The mechanic is not designed to put on a show or to embarass the batter. I agree it should be "toned down" the...

Carl:

At first I misread the the original post. I assumed that a checked-swing appeal was coming and that U1 (if a RHB) said he went.

If that were the case, now B/R does noes not havew the...

Pete:

I am not sure what the "more" is for which you are waiting. Until they re-write OBR, it sounds like this is as clear as you are likely to get.

The ball was about even with F5 when the "foul" call was made. It was F7's ball all the way. (F5 stopped, but he had no prayer.) The replays did not show F7 at the time of the "call," but he was VERY...

I know the ruling is that a batter can run on 3rd strike that bounces before reaching the plate.

Is there a limit? Situation. Visitors leading 3 to 2, bottom of the 9th, 2 out, 0-2 count. Jack...

Score the run!

The runner is not out simply because he entered the dugout. Catcher does not have to chase him, he could have simply tagged the plate, but he did not.

Once runner comes out and...

Out is my initial reaction. We must, I think, look at two parts of the definition of "catch." The two parts, with my (a) and (b) are:

There are lots of excellent LL umpires, most of whom never get paid a dime.
