Dead Ball Craziness

[ChampaignBlue]

Mike, I suppose you're right it's just that I see the day comming that I have a coach burned once who from then on tells all his runners to go back and touch all bases on all throws out of play and there needs to be a line drawn somewhere to prevent that. Imagine that you have bases loaded, clean triple, and the ball goes OOP. Coach tells all 4 runners to go back and touch all the bases to prevent any possible appeal. This is where judgement comes into play. In the original post the defense should have kept it's mouth shut and then judgement is taken out of the play. It's kinda like my pre-game with coaches about collisions, if you get down or go around then I don't have to make a judgement call and we all know how you feel about my judgement. Jim
