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.
