Rule 8.7 Eliminates the out on a LBR violation.
Reasoning: Present penalty is excess and not necessary for rule to be effective. Rule remains exactly the same just that the runner is not called out.
My opinion: As we continue to see, even at the upper levels of play, this rule is quite subjective and can have a devastating effect on a game.

We'd have more dead balls than a... (I know there's a joke there somewhere.)
So, they would just call dead ball and reset everyone? Wouldn't the runners try to get a jump on every play if they're not penalized with the out? Little league throws a red flag for runners leaving early and then the runner is only allowed to advance one more base than the runner trailing behind them. I don't think they would do this because they wouldn't want ASAŽ on something bright red. |
