ASA Rules - No slide at the plate.. is ball dead ?

[Fozzie]

I don't disagree with you here. If I have a nice clean play I'm ringing up the out.

With that being said. I have never seen a tie.
And I am sure not telling the players I saw a tie.

The phrase we use around here is 'tie goes to the umpire'

I think someone needs to define a "clean play".

How about: fielder has ball and touches the base before the runner arrives.

That would be obvious without need of description. However, a "clean play" is usually referred to when the defender's handle the ball with no bobbles, drop, slips or error (generically, not as scoring a play).

Just because the defense does their job without mistakes does not mean the defense gets the call.

Thus the reason I asked for a definition.

There is no smiley for facetious, so I used the "razz". Did you really think that was a serious answer?

No, be seeing that as the only response, I was just trying to set the tone of the cause for my previous request.

Mike, I'm confused by your clarification here. Did you mean what I've inserted?

I just assumed that and you should have too.
