But anyways, thanks for your smug and somewhat condesending reply. Because we all know how simple it is to understand the rule book even when you consider that they had to write an entirely separate book (case book) to explain it.

Bubba,
Before being as equally condescending as you accuse others, you might want to remember this is an umpire's venue on "officiating.com". Unless you identify yourself as the contrary, many are going to presume you are an umpire.
OTOH, the question should have set off the bells and whistles that you are not a softball umpire, but there are some strange posts from all sorts, including softball umpires, so you just don't know until told. |
