Hehe...let me guess "OK then, she's out!"

I think LLBB keeps its rule the way it is to keep from becoming too different from "real" baseball.

Could be...but oddly enough, PONY league seems to have figured this one out without all the red flag silliness.

I think I verbalize it more than I don't.

Of course, I have been working a very low level rec league the past few weeks and if I verbalized obstruction every time it happened, that's about all that I would be saying out there!

Yes, we got that taken care of. I should have got together with him, told him the rule, and finished with "Fix it!"


I don't really like the red flag either, and not just because I have to remember which pocket in my equipment bag I keep it in.
