12.19.1.4 "Physical contact by the base runner with a fielder attempting to field a fair batted ball shall be interference, provided the fielder had a reasonable chance to make a play and was prevented from doing so." Now you are aware of at least one. Honestly, why even post your statement at all if you don't know? |

Thanks, Tony. Second new term I've learned this month on here. The other was "meeb".
Now if Mike could explain what he meant by it, I would appreciate it. Last edited by topper; Tue Mar 27, 2012 at 07:01am. Reason: spelling |

In your play, maybe F6 does make the catch, but maybe the catch could have been more routine had their not been INT. But maybe she doesn't make the catch, but ends up trying to turn a deuce, but throws the ball into the stands and the BR is OBS by F3, and R1 plows over an unsuspecting F5 and is then picked up by the 3B coach and pushed towards home while F9 just went into labor and is down in RCF....... T.W.P. We can all try to justify anything we want regardless of which way we prefer to slant it, but I believe we are better off as is. At least, until you can find the perfect, intelligent umpire that will not screw up a call. Like to admit it or not, there are umpires working all levels of ball that are somewhat clueless and misapply some of the simplest rules in the book. How in the world can a team expect any consistency from an umpire if so many "what if's" are available on what should be a simple play. My vote goes for the ruling to remain an immediate dead ball.

Fair enough. Perhaps some re-wording of the rule would make that more supportable. |

Really? You think I'm going worry about citing a rule book to justify an INT call?. Yeah, GFL w/that.

I have no idea what you worry about when on the field. However, the NCAA rules has a specific protocol when it comes to protest situations, and one part involves opening that pesky little rule book. There will be no need for you to cite anything.

Let me help you - you are talking to someone who is usually IN THE ROOM when rule changes are discussed and written.

![]() Like others on this site, being in the room just means you are allowed to possibly take part in the discussion, in some circumstances some have a vote, on how things go and, at least, get the purpose for change or rejection of, first hand. I find this makes it much easier to explain changes or reasons for not changing something. Another reason I believe each State/Metro should have their UIC or umpire representative in attendence.

I attended my first ASA Council Meeting this last November.
Being able to be in the various rooms and committee meetings when rule changes were discussed was quite fascinating. It is very interesting to hear the rationale behind why the author thinks changes are necessary as well as the discussion back and forth. And of course the Yeungling was good too.... ![]()

Now let me help you - get back to the shallow end of the pool and start another thread about how last night's 10U league game went or how stupid you think the local rules are. |
