Well, it's their game and they can do what they want, but I can just envision some of the arguments that could come along with this rule.

The only thing I do like about the ASA rule is that it leaves nothing up to interpretation. The ball must be caught, then voluntarily released to attempt to deceive a runner other than the BR into thinking they are forced to vacate their base. I don't think there's much interpretation left in this rule at all.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
