OUR LEAGUE is based on ASA rules. Otherwise I would have just asked about courtesy fouls in slowpitch softball..........WOULD THAT be better?

No, what would be better would be to lose the attitude when the question you asked is answered. Since, as you found out, there is no ASA rule for courtesy fouls, then it MUST be a local rule.

No one here can address your local rules, unless they just HAPPEN to umpire in your league. Now that you know it is not an ASA rule, you need to take your question up with your league. If the league does not have a courtesy foul rule, then the call was made correctly. If they do, then the call was not correct. Simple as that.

With 3,503 posts on this site, it don't look like you get off your arse long enough to play any ball. Is that where your attitude comes from?? And another thing I don't remember asking you in the first place.

So get a life buddy!

But thanks again for going over what bluetooth already did Again I said he did a great job and if you read what he wrote you learned something and if not............move on thanks

With an attitude like that, you're not going to get much help later on if you need it. This is an umpires forum and most of us (if I'm not mistaken) probably don't play much ball, we officiate the games and if it weren't for us, your games wouldn't be all that much fun. Backyard games and some lower level rec games may be OK without umpires but competitve leagues need us to keep everybody in check and playing by the rules.

I never said Umpires were not needed but with attitude like some that are on this site, YOU CAN BE REPLACED! N & S Dakota is not the only place they play competitive ball. WE PAY FOR YOU...not the other way around........

think about it.........so help me or don't I don't care, I will keep playing and you will keep watching.

GOOD TIMES

hrradigan,

Come on now, let's be ADULTS here. Yes, your local softball associations do pay us (not enough sometimes) but who brought that up? Nowhere did I say anything about the only competitve ball is played in the Dakota's. Why did you bring that up?

BTW, I don't come out to the diamonds to "watch" you play. I come out to make sure you play the game by the rules and in the process, I have to keep an eye on the game. I'm guessing, but I bet your a Rec 3/4 player? That's the league for new and not-so-good teams.

Changing the subject a little, any of y'all ever get in an argument on the field and then out of the corner of your eye catch your partner doing this: ?

Thanks hrradigan, for reminding me again why I only call fastpitch. What an attitude!

Did anyone say fastpitch? I'll play if they let me, if not I like to watch too. How many fouls do you get in fastpitch? LMFAO

OOOOOOOOO! I guess you told me!

Again, who started the name calling? (that would be you).

Who started the put downs? (that would be you).

Who copped the attitude? (that would be you).

Who doesn't really care if you ever get any questions answered? (that would be me).
