Batting out of order

Cecil first mentioned "if the b4 pitch had not happened..." scenario but his ruling that B4 is up instead of B5 had me wondering what I was missing.

I guess this is not a forum for a new umpire to seek advice.

All of the other forums I go to, it's the moderators that keep it civil, not the ones giving the rude answers with little explanation.

If you're looking for advice, you're in the right place. If you're going to post answers as fact, and those answers are wrong, I would expect you to get corrected on any forum - wouldn't you? I didn't reiterate the correct answer because it had already been given.

That fine, and I agree this is a good umpire board that is generally friendly to new umpires (and even to coaches and fans), but wasn't his post regarding the modified scenario (which you replied as completely incorrect) actually correct?

Hmmm... ok, if he was posting about the modified scenario, I suppose it was only wrong once, and not 5 (or 3) times. My apologies if my response was too strong.

This is why when discussion a scenario (as opposed to a rule or application), it is in everyone's best interest to start another thread.

However, if that doesn't happen, the poster should reference the scenario to which s/he is replying.
