Not in ASA. Any infielder, but not any participant.

True enough. I stand corrected. Just another brain fart, I guess.

At that time, any appeal, proper or otherwise, live or dead, would have been moot.

But, in a normal dead ball situation where an appeal could be allowed, I still think that I would have accepted that.
"I signal a "weak" safe call, and DHC asks me "Blue, did she miss home plate?" " I'm trying to see why you think the ball was dead. Sounds like the coach's comment came immediately following the safe call. If the runner missed, surely she's still close enough in ANY level of ball to not kill the play that quickly.

And no ... the coach can't make the DBA. I guess we don't "all know" this, since it's false.

You know, I need to try to quit reading and replying to this at work with so many distractions. For some reason, on my "careful" re-read, I just caught the part where he said the coach came out between innings and thought that was when he asked the question.

There is my one to miss on this board for the year. Now back to work.

It's been my understanding that women have the option to wear a hat. Is this correct? I never paid much attention to this, as I... uhh... don't exactly have the "proper equipment," if you know what I mean.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

At he national I was at this year (not umpiring just took place in my next of the woods) every female was wearing a hat. Even the PU that wore a Hockey style mask still took their hats down to the field. They stuck them in the fence because they wouldn't fit under there masks (I think they got marked down for that also) .
