3rd base umpire checks with 3rd base dugout. Plate checks with 1st base dugout. 1st base umpire brushes the pitcher's plate.

The wrong batter leading off is a BOO issue - and has nothing to do with who the correct runner should be.

+1 we should not care who they send up to bat, check your line up card and make sure the batter before goes to 2B. I agree it is nice to smooch with the coach and make sure that everyon is happy. NOBODY cares if I am happy !!!

If you're suggesting that we send to second the runner who is before the person who comes up to bat, rather than the person who is due up; I strongly disagree.

Um ... what? You want to double check what you just said? Sounds like you're saying to send the person who is due up to 2nd base. I sure hope I'm mis-reading that.

I will not send the person who is due up to second base. If I did the pitcher might turn around and pitch to her and I do not have a rule to cover that one ;-) |

I don't get to say this often, but actually agree with the NCAA rule versus the ASA rule. Why should it be the umpire's responsibility to get the right runner on base? How is that different than checking to be sure we have the right batter before the start of every half inning?
If asked, answer the question. If not asked, ignore it until appealed.

Who is due up is relevant.
It is not very often that I check in any inning if the proper batter is the lead off batter. Never. If the Coach sends up the wrong batter it is the responsibility of the other coach to properly appeal BOO ??? I know that everyone on here likes to jump on me and thats OK but I do not like to talk to any Coach, I am not there friend, it is there job to Coach, my job to Umpire. Does anyone make sure the correct batter is leading off in the bottom of the 7th inning in a 0 to 0 ball game ? A good coach with the new BOO rule may send up his best hitter, if she is properly appealed by the DC OH WELL. Next batter. |

Just that you should find out who that proper batter is - then look at your lineup card, see who goes on 2nd, and ensure that player is on 2nd. Getting the right batter to the plate is the coach's job.
