Yeah willis, splain it to me.

Splain to me how you got from someone in a situation where they apply the tag, trip and drop the ball to a fielder dropping it on the transfer.

Hey one thing you gotta love about a mens game.. they are smart enough that EVERYTHING is on the transfer... no matter what they did, they start yelling "it was on the transfer"

Is that whatchoo talkin bout?

Is the discussion not possession of the ball and executing a play for an out? Would this not be an issue involving both?

Hell, talk about no control or voluntary release......half the time the ball doesn't even see the inside of the glove.

Not really concerned about what baseball umpires have to think about this as they have so many sets of rules within their game, they will never agree.

ASA, NSA, NCAA, PONY, USSSA, NAFA, ISF, ISC, USFA. Feel free to add your on initial set here.

I can see where the many rule sets of Baseball would get you down.

True, I haven't found any disagreement on this issue amongst softball umpires.

But, so noted.
