I truly felt (and still feel) that reminding him that #1 was supposed to be up instead of #6 was outside the realm of what he was complaining about. In fact, after explaining what I said above, I FULLY expected that he would come back out after #6 batted to get an out on #1 for not batting - but he didn't. Quote:

Two runners pass third on the way to the plate. One runner misses the touch, the other doesn't. On the defensive appeal, don't we make them tell us which runner missed?
7-2-D starts by stating "IF BATTING OUT OF ORDER IS DISCOVERED", but doesn't say discovered by whom. We would also tell a scorekeeper that BOO must be reported and appealed by the coach were they to point it out, so who must do the discovery? I can see this arguement both ways, but tend to lean towards I'm keeping quiet. That is also what my wife said I would have done anyway. She'a probably right. |
How about this. Coach brings up batting out of order, 9 batted instead of 6. I would bring out my lineup card and with my pencil as a pointer I would say "Ok we had 10 on first, 9 came to bat and hit the homer, we threw a pitch to 6 which makes 9's at bat legal, so we should be here in the lineup (pointing to #1 in the lineup). That is all I would do, is that helping the defense, maybe...but that is how I would do it to me that is just thinking through the situation that the coach has brought to my attention. I would not but 1 in the box, without more from the coach....as someone said that would be taking a chance for an out away from the defense. Now that is the point where the coach has to know what to do next, let 6 complete their turn at bat and then appeal to get 1 out for BOO, hopefully 6 will K or ground out and we get 2 outs!!
