I hope you obliged that coach. . .by announcing the count as 0-2 after the first pitch to each batter.

She pitches for an inning and a half and then gets replaced with pitcher number three. Next inning pitcher three gets pulled for pitcher 4. Next inning before the inning starts V coach wanders up to me.
C: See that girl out at 3b. She was pitching a couple of innings ago and that sweatshirt is kind of the color of the ball and my players were having trouble picking it up.
Me: Okay. I guess it is kind of close.
C: Yeah, they were having trouble picking up the ball. And it's really not her uniform.
Me: Okay, well if they decide to have her pitch again, come remind me and I'll see if it's a problem.

Coach wanders off.

Not sure what she wanted me to do at that point.
If it is the "H" pitcher I am thinking of, they didn't have any trouble picking up the ball on any of the four pitches each batter saw.

This weekend on another field a coach told one of our crew that the 10 after 3 run rule was only in effect in the 3rd inning and since it was the 4th it didn't count. Of course he was explaining this as the crew was walking off the field, to go change.

Similar Story - Men's FP National, 12 after 3 run rule, visting team scores a couple of runs with one out in the top of the fourth to go ahead by 12 runs. The team starts filing out of the dugout to shake hands with the other team...That's it, right blue? We're up by 12 and it's after the 3rd inning....

I calmly explained that the home team would still get their chance to bat in the bottom of the fourth....:rolleyes:

Happens all the time in rec ball. Even had it happen in men's travel SP ball once...an USSSA NIT. That about floored me. :rolleyes:

referring to an illegal pitch call:

"Come on blue. If the other coach ain't hollering then it aint illegal."

I had to have a colleague give me an eye exam to make sure I read that right. Wow.

A batter 'has to get out of the way' of a pitched ball in order for a HbP award to be considered.

catch 22

We're missing a lot of rules, here are some interesting variations:

I learned last night that if the runner is "leaning" back toward 3rd base even though she hasnt moved her feet she has made her decision as to which way she is going and cant be called out for a look back violation.

My last tournament, I learned, again, that the plate umpire can overide any call by the base umpire. The fans were adamant on this point, the correct call by the base umpire not withstanding. :)

Didn't happen to be a team from Western PA with a minister/NSA umpire as their head coach, was it?

If so, one of mine already got this guy at the 18U Eastern Nationals. Did you know that you cannot eject a minister from a softball game?
