Interference - Double Play

ASA/NYSSOBLUE · #1 (**permalink**) Tue Apr 21, 2009, 10:51am

Here is what I had in a 14U tournament a coupla years back, I was PU, my partner was pretty much a tyro:

ground ball to 2B, who gets possession of the ball just as R1 coming from 1st runs right into her, and maintains contact. My partner hesitates, so I kill the play, call R1 out on the tag, and then get the BR, as I felt R1 prevented 2B from making any additional play after being retired.

And yes, the Off coach was livid....and yes, they lost the game by one run...

Definition of tyro please? I'm playing some nasty insults on text messages with buddies this week, and need a good one or two to throw at them!

Tyro is either the mother of Pelias and Neleus, the twin sons of Neptune, or a newbie.

My guess he meant newbie.

Ehhhh...tyro won't be funny with the morons I'm slamming this week, but at least it's a good one to know when I'm working with a newbie. Thanks fellas!

LOL

Middle-aged white guys from the hills shouldn't speak jive/ or urban. Don't do it ...It's not right.

And that goes for umpires from Texas named Skahtboi.
