Got hooked into doing a couple of 14U league ASA games tonight and gald I did.
I found out there is a new version of the LBR.

Batter walks, while she is heading towards 1B catcher returns the ball to
the pitcher in the circle. She is standing slightly towards 3B behind
the pitching plate with ball. Making no moves. Runner rounds 1B, stops,
takes half step back towards 1B, then starts towards 2B. I kill the play,
call the runner out. Offensive coach request time and comes out to
chat. "Blue, the pitcher was not on the rubber!" LBR does not go into
effect until the pitcher is on the rubber."

Did you say you were sorry and put the runner back on first. Brian

Rec League?

They hate these calls anyway at rec league... I get most of my LBRs with this rec league bs.

This coach wanted me to allow her to get her ASA Rule Book out of her car.
Said she had the LBR page folded back and highlighted. After the game,
I allowed she could get her book and bring it over. She did, and started
reading it to me. When she got to the point of where it says, "When the pitcher
has the ball in the circle, the runner must immediately attmpt to advance to the
next base or immediately return to the base left." She said, "I know I saw the
words pitcher has to be on the pitcher's plate when I marked this." I told
her, "Maybe you brought the wrong book out."
