Why stop them from going to 3rd?

If you let them go to 1st, why stop them from going to 2nd? There's nothing in the rule book to prevent them from going to 2nd.

Sorry! My title should have said 2nd! I fat-fingered it!

I believe we should only use UC when there is not a more specific rule that covers the particular play. If there is a rule that is exactly on point, we need to use this rule and I believe we have...

O sure it does....

You go from the probability of hitting 18 holes in one to the probability of hitting 18 holes in one minus .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001. ;):rolleyes:

Check FED rule book 7-4-12. You can get a DP on this. But not in ASA.

Is the Batter Out?

R1 on 3rd. B1 hits a pop fly into foul territory near 3rd base line. R1 was off on the release of the pitch. On seeing the ball hit foul she returns to 3rd, running into F5 who is attempting to...

Here's one for you

Here's the scenario.

R1 on 1B. B2 hits a pop fly in foul territory near third base. R1 thinking there are two outs advances to 2nd. The coach realizing there is only 1 out interferes with F5's...

In all fairness Mike, I did mean she hit the ball again with the bat. But it doesn't matter. ASA says this is a foul ball. FED has it as an out if the umpire judges it could go fair.

Why would a defensive player want to intentionally contact a foul ball that might go fair other than to prevent a run from scoring or to prevent the batter-runner from obtaining first base. Isn't...

I borrowed that phrase from FED

Steve,

I got that phrase from the FED rule book. Rule 8-9-2.

I would stay away from the term DP Pitcher

There is no such thing as a DP Pitcher. There is a DP who happens to be playing pitcher. I know it's splitting hairs. But when you say DP Pitcher it makes it sound like she is in a separate...

mbcrowder beat me to it

Yes, the body is the same. The batter-runner is only out if they contact a fair batted ball before reaching first base.

See 8.2.F.4

So Do I but it is consistent

ASA and all baseball and softball rule sets that I know of allow for the defense to touch a ball that is foul to prevent it from becoming fair. I guess ASA believes the offense should have the same...

It is Foul....

Because the ball was hit a second time in foul territory. In FED you can get an out because the ball had a chance to go fair.

That was my point to the thread.

What do you have!

B1 hits the ball foul. She sees the ball is heading toward fair territory. She hits the ball again before it touches or crosses the foul line.

What is your ruling? ASA and FED.

I don't see it posted on the web site. We have already had our rules clinic and this was not mentioned.

I don't disagree

This can be take to an extreme. However, I do believe the age of the kids involved should be taken into consideration. Besides, by rule, the umpire can call time to see to the kids condition and...

I, too, will go with the officials judgement on the field. All I am saying is we are talking about 10 year olds here! Common sense needs to prevail. Any time player safety is a concern we should,...

One thing to consider

This is 10U rec we are talking about and not a 18U Gold National Tournament. If F4 is lying on the ground crying with the BR lying on top of her kill the play and award R1 the base you believe...

Yes

I meant 22! Too many dog-gone 2's! If 22 has no re-entry and there are no subs you would have to get an out.

And if #2 has no re-entry?

We get an out if #2 has no re-entry and there is no available sub that can run as a CR, correct?
