TWP that actually happened

[ronald]

well fed has a similar play from the casebook. in section 8.

bases load r3 steals (why, who knows?), r2 does nothing, ball in circle, pitcher does nothing. pu waits a little to see if r3 will do nothing. nope. rules dead ball and calls r3 out.

how you like them apples? add that to the asa vs feds differences.

and you guys are slipping if I find this 5 days later

Can you post the actual play... I thought it was also FED that had the opposite case play that mirrors ASA.

Incidentally, what in the world are they calling R3 out for - what rule is cited?

Think it is a different play. Batter ball where they were on the base before the ball reached the pitcher in the circle and are out, by rule, if any of them leave the base. The play above doesn't state when the ball reached the pitcher in the circle.

I see fed and asa having different rulings when two players are on the same base and the pitcher has the ball in the circle and does not do anything to make a play on the runners on the same base. No?

Yes. In both, the umpire waits a reasonable time for a play to be made, and if no play is made, declares the ball dead. After that, they differ. In ASA, the umpire directs the runners to their proper bases. In NFHS, the umpire declares the runner that is not entitled to the base OUT.

That's a shame. Not that the offense should be protected for being stupid, but I don't believe the defense should get a free out simply because they throw the ball to the circle instead of playing on the runners.
