I think ASA needs to provide ruling re Clarity Stealth

[wadeintothem]

ASA 18G qualifier - Today we were blessed with the presence of super umpire - on his way to OKC.. calling many IPs (that apparently no one else was able to see the violation-not to mention stating "I could have called 15 more" at the end of that night mare), at least one ejection, and Yes - pulling the Easton Clarity (at least 5) - swearing by the paper trick and because of a line that runs down the bat indicating its rolled. I asked him what gave him his authority in the rules to pull a bat based on that line and he told me tat was taught in OKC and it was umpire judgment that the bat was rolled. I asked him specifically if ASA said they wanted it pulled based on that line and he said yes.

Whats the scoop - does ASA want us pulling the clarity based on that line? If so, why hasnt it been put in writing? Could we anticipate that this would be put in writing at some point?

IMO, our *** is flapping in the wind if only 1 umpire is running around doing it. Either we all should be or he should chillax.
