ASA Appeals

[snorman75]

I have not insulted. I have not called anyoen a idiot, or even worst a coach.

and I did say in another thread, that is is a live ball appeal. I will not lie to you I really never thought of that play as a appeal, more a force. But it is a appeal since there can not be a force on a caught ball.

But to say I have continued to insult and bla bla bla is just wrong. I even apologized for saying there was no appeal. But God do not let any one else to admit they might be wrong.

Dave got it totally right. No one else did, including myself.

Why do I get the mental picture of Mr. Snorman as the umpire who always brings up the "What if" third-world situations in meetings, scores high on tests, but somehow always has problems on the field? Probably not the right picture -- but it's the one I have.

OK, I admit, I love the "what if", and I do score high, but I have learned to never bring it the field. That is what the ride home, bar and a forum like this.

lol, the ones I get wrong on the test are the ones I read to much into and find some rule no one should never use.

But on the field, if I can get through a game not talking (about a rule) to anyone, maybe my part if something comes up, it is a good game.

And I had a completely different picture. Based on demonstrated lack of rules knowledge and atrocious spelling, I was (and still am) picturing a 14-year-old trying to pass himself off as an experienced umpire.

As others have already said, mixing up force plays and live-ball appeals is a common mistake for players and coaches. Because of that, it is routinely addressed in first-year clinics.
