For some of you that have been around a while and remember the old McGriff's board....

There was a regular poster on that board that umpired only slowpitch rec leagues..he referred to the players as "AA's"....







Alleged Adults :D

Did you know that all of the boards are still there? They are just not working.

Hands part of bat
 
Why would anyone want the hands considered as part of the bat?

So they can claim it was a foul ball, not a swing and a miss or a HBP.

It would be called a strike, right?

If the batter swings, yes. If not, it is a HBP unless in the strike zon.

Last night, Womens SP. After a hit with the bases loaded (two runs scored), older, male 3B coach tells me "a good umpire would have gotten the bat out of the way".
"If I was that good coach I wouldn't be working your crappy game!"

And of course, yesterday I learned "the runner has to slide when there is a play" (no contact occurred). :rolleyes:

Now that you mention it, fall ball started for me with a men's league doubleheader in which one of the teams was one of the more famous local travel teams in the past, whose players "came out of retirement" to play some ball just for the fun of it. The catcher on this team was one of the top players regionally in his days, and didn't like it when he was jumping up for the overthrow and nearly got wiped out by the runner coming home (keep in mind, he was in front of the plate when he was jumping, and the runner was going for the back of the plate). He turned to me and said "he's supposed to slide". :rolleyes: Snide remark I wanted to make, but didn't: You been in retirement too damn long. :cool:

And your teammate is SUPPOSED to throw the ball to you, not over you!
