weird weekend

Plays that seemed unusual, maybe just because of 6 weeks off.

1) Batted ball hits ground in fair territory (actually the plate) and bounces high, caught on that bounce by the catcher in foul ground.
(A coach told me someone ruled that a fair ball last week, that BR thrown was out at 1st. YUK! )

2) Batted ball tips F5 glove then hits 3rd.

3) INT by R1 bumping F4, still tagged out.

4) Pitch hit batter because of batter sticking knee into it, dead ball. Judged by PU to be a ball anyway, ball 4, 1st base awarded.

Where was the ball?

where was the ball when it was first touched?

2) batted ball tips f5 glove then hits 3rd.

where was the ball when it was touched by f5?

3) int by r1 bumping f4, still tagged out.

right result - wrong reason.

4) pitch hit batter because of batter sticking knee into it, dead ball. Judged by pu to be a ball anyway, ball 4, 1st base awarded.

proper call.

Sorry, in #2 glove in foul ground.

I wasn't asking questions, just relaying stories for awareness of stuff happens.
