Sorry Dave,
We just disagree with ASA rules with a HR. Since it is not clear, until we hear something we are going to disagree. The other stuff, well if you do not adjust, again we agree to disagree. |

Youre an official OF the game. Its not your game bro. Remember this always, first and foremost: "The integrity of the game". You need to fix your thought process on this, it really is bad. |

I do not adjust my calls just because I want to get a game over faster. Why should I be in such a hurry? |

It's great to see so many speaking out about not changing because of game situations. :) I hate that idea :mad: and although I sometimes joke about rainy 7th innings and games over the time limit ;) , I hope no one thinks I mean it. :eek:

Guys,
First ASA is not clear on the home run. The home run effect is the ONLY effect of a ball going out of play the does not state in the first sentence, "The ball is dead." Omission by mistake or on purpose, ??? and they have not said. You are telling me none of you have ever sent a message with a call? I have, and I will, part of game management in my eyes. Example: Little league, team winning by 20+ runs, still stealing on every pass ball and taking every close pitch. 1. My strike zone grows, if they can hit it it is probably going to be a strike. 2. Anything close is a out, for the team up. 3. If they keep running, they miss a base or leave early, either way I call a one or two out. Normally the message is heard and they stop running. Are you protecting the integrity of the game making the losing team stand in the field for 45 min? and get beat for 50? Well I am sorry I feel that hurts the game and the kids much worst and I am willing to take a hit to my integrity for that. We all know we have coaches out there that will run the score up on there own mother. It has really nothing to do with time of the game or wanting to get home. |

That you do is your business, but it is not the noble thing you make it out to be. Quite the opposite. It is not "game management" - it is cheating. |
