Fastpitch: Batter's Location in Batter's Box Compared to Plate

[MD Longhorn]

I'm truly not understanding what some people get from coming on here for the sole purpose of stirring things up as opposed to discussing actual softball situations, rules, occurrences, and stories. Truly.

I have never understood that, nor will I ever. I have a few ideas, though.......

That is because you mischaracterize offering an independent thought that wasn't drilled in our heads by one or two groups that haven't adapted as the game has changed over the decades as "stirring things up." God forbid you actually consider them rather than just disagreeing and bashing them on a forum.

What "one or two groups that haven't adapted" are you referring to?

I am wondering what additional rules are being ignored or altered by these umps under the guise of "I'm not a clone". Do you write them down so you dont forget? Do you highlight them in the rule book so you don't forget and actually apply the rule as written? Amazing hoe some umps think they can alter the rules to fit what they think they sould be!

I just want to know what an "xtream" [sic] is. Oh and I want to know what love is.

Nice to know, returning to the board after my second annual long winter sabbatical, that I haven't missed anything...

Or maybe which (recognizable) groups HAVE adapted! All I know of leave the zone over the plate!

I notice that this question, of several days ago, still goes unanswered!

I swore I wasn't going to get into this conversation (or the 10-15 other arguements I have seen) but it's just ironic to me that you would acuse someone of "just disagreeing and bashing them on a forum." Seems to me that is EXACTLY what you have been doing since you joined this forum, disagreeing and bashing organizations and any rule / mechanic / interp. they have provided that you don't "like" for whatever reason.
