Sane: Is the sky blue?
Insane: No, it's orange. Sane: How can you say that, look right there, it's blue. Insane: That car between me and the sky is orange. I see orange. Sane: The car is not the sky. The sky is blue. Insane: Oranges are orange. Only blueberries are blue. Sane: We're not talking about oranges or cars, I asked about the sky. Insane: But blueberries are not the sky. And oranges are juicy. Sane: What in the world are you talking about? Insane: The same thing we've been talking about all along - that blueberries are not juicy. Like I've said from the start. At what point does the sane become insane for trying to engage with the insane?

Don't take that as a personal attack - "Insane" wasn't meant to be specifically you, despite the commonality of the moniker.
Just saying that the sane trying to reason with the insane is, in itself, insane.

Some posters are bordering on personal attacks versus polite and objective which we expect on this forum.
Please keep it under control!

This was the official interpretation from this lively discussion from May:
Runner Missing Home Plate: Play: With R1 on 2B, B2 gets a base hit to RF. R1 scores but misses home plate. After entering the dugout, R1 returns to touch home plate and draws a throw. On the throw to the plate, B2 advances to 2B. Ruling: Once a player enters dead ball territory, they are not permitted to come out of the dugout to touch home plate. When R1 did so and drew a throw, R1 was guilty of Interference by a retired runner. The ball is dead and B2 is ruled out. If the defense properly appeals that R1 missed home plate, R1 would also be ruled out.

ASA Rule Clarifications/Interpretations. I wouldn't consider an incompletely ask/reply/copy/paste job an official interpretation.
