If you read the test, and actually bother to understand the rules in question - you know how to rule in 100 times as many cases. You need to not just be right... you need to know WHY you are right.

This forum is not about answering your test questions for you. You were directed to where the answer was.

So I'll ask again... Do the rules you are given say you CAN do this? Do they say you CAN'T?

I was not asking for a direct answer. I wanted an explanation given to help me with the answer. I am not a pro like you are just yet. The question was confusing to begin with anyway.

Please do not respond to any more of my questions if I have them!

My friend you are making a mistake by saying that!

Not only was Mike helpful in his first response, there was no "sarcasm" or ridicule at all. Had you followed his advice, you would have wound up just where Dave took you!

Mike is also very knowledgable of the rules of the game. You are wasting a valuable resource.

And lastly, If your skin is so thin as to take such offense at a "percieved" wrong such as Mike's answer, you need to learn to fish. Umpiring is gonna give you ulcers!

1. mike was not being sarcastic
2. nsc was probably frustrated with this question and just did not get it. the light bulb just did not lite up imo and he was asking for help in understanding it. thiis was the second time asking about it
3. sorry. kudos to dave for his oustanding tact, tone and gentleness in walk4ing nsc through the question and thinking


it was only today after reading 5 million times the rule on batting out of order and who bats next in this year's rule book that i could understand it. it used to be one sentence after another and the writer's use of player bambozzle me beyond comprehension. this year it is by numbers and it clicked.

Then don't visit the baseball forum. My guess is you are one he was referring to in a sarcastic comment. If you're going to disrespect a poster, at least do it on the same forum. Don't worry, I'm on his exclusive ignore list over there, so he can't see what I saying...............HEHEHEHE.

To honest, he can be knowledgeable, but Katie, bar the door if he is wrong. Must be an OCD thing I guess. He'll probably pop when he sees my name though.

I agree... but then again, I said that once and was ripped for being too hard on a new guy. "Why can't you just answer the question ..." yada yada.

No, that did not refer to him. The incident I was referring to was a while back - and I honestly don't remember who.

Folks..

All too often typed posts on a forum without the effect of delivering the same message in person loses a lot of translation. An amazing amount of our verbal communication is non verbal!

Nsc.. I believe you should give Mike another chance... he has the knowledge and desire to help as do many others on here who do sometimes come off as sarcastic.

In ASA slowpitch, starting with an EP means you have an 11 player batting lineup the entire game. Any 10 play defense. But you have to have 11 in the batting order at all times you can't go to 10. If you lose a player and have no eligible subs then you go shorthanded.. you still have 10 playing defense but when that vacated spot in the 11-player batting order comes around you have an out.

In ASA coed you can either bat 10 or use the EPs (one male and one female) but you have to use both and have a 12-player batting order the entire game.
