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.

DQ'ed for padding this list. USFA has no rules.

Point taken, but there is a difference. Each of those organizations have their own rules set.

In baseball, it's more like a free-for-all where in many cases, entire sects of umpires from the same association or "camp" cannot come to agreement on whether the sun is shining or not.

True, but that's why theirs is great theoretical discussion

As wade says, there's a big element of 'expected call' that you can't get from the rulebook on this, it's a lot more clear in live action than trying to type a sitch on a forum.

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

But, so noted.

Besides, baseball+ interesting = oxymoron.
