STOP!!!

I did not say it was a force out, but "handled" as a force out.

Does anyone actually READ what is typed?

Mike, are you asking this question because I'm in Burlington this weekend?

Answer is 1.

No, it wasn't because you are in Burlington.

It is because an umpire ruled #2 on such a play.

When I get these questions (that are not part of any protest), I try to put myself in the umpire's position and work back from the call to see what s/he may have been thinking to come to the conclusion s/he did.

My fault, reading fragments instead of all. Reminded by Serg.

OK that's true. As I said earlier, passing the line is the key. "

Just didn't want it to get out of control. Too often threads take a turn away from the point and I just wanted to avoid that.

Thanks

I need to get back into brewing. I have found that it is really hard to find a really good oatmeal stout these days.

So, back to the OP, what became of that situation?

Whether it's two home plates or just one plate and a scoring/safe line, I can think of no rules code where the fielder would have to step on home plate twice to get two outs on this.

Had a dinner guest bring a 6 of Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout.

Pretty good
