Don't Believe Everything You Read on the Internet!

funny ...

yeah, funny but a bit maddening also!

Just back from a High School pre-season scrimmage, and got to call 1 IF. Believe it or not, there was confusion among the coaching staff, and teams as to what to do. Ball wasn't caught, F1 ran to 3B, F2 started to 2B, head coach telling R2, and batter to stay at 1B, ***'t telling R1 (who is safe at 3B) "go back, go back and tag up!

They asked us to explain the rule to them after the game.

Are we going to let that misinformation from "Coach Suthe" stand for millions (OK, hundreds) to see, or is somebody going to volunteer to post a correction?

Well . . . ?

Yow. Read some of that guy's other posts. He hasn't got one right yet!

I tried to post the correct answer, but it still has not appeared on the site. I guess they don't like it when someone corrects their "expert". Actually, they review all posts, and if they "like" the answer, they will post it at 1am eastern time

And it probably won't ever, experts hate to be corrected.

I thought about applying to be an expert in the softball field, but decided I didn't really want to be associated with that group.

I believe I've seen Mr. Ambrose on this board.

Hopefully, he will contact the AllExperts site monitor and insist upon a correction OR distance himself from those who are passing themselves off as "experts".

So did I. And I rated it 1/5 both times I visited.
