  1. Hello there. Found this on You Tube... May be helpful
  2. Nothing more to say here....Nailed it
  3. Do It!!...Especially if you are working with a younger or less experienced umpire. Nothing wrong with having your partners back. Of course this applies to Coaches and players...Fans..well there are ways to deal with that too and you can take the lead there without feeling like your overstepping. As well as Pre-Game..If you have to act..Post Game it as well. No one is too old or experienced to learn.
  4. Up here in Canada, our national baseball body came out with its clarification in 2017 3.03 (b) and (e) All players, including pitchers, are permitted to wear compression sleeves on one or both arms. If only wearing one, it may be worn on either the pitching or glove arm. A compression sleeve extending only to the elbow shall have the same restrictions as a compression sleeve extending to the wrist. Pitchers must wear compression sleeves which are solid in colour and may not be white or grey. Pitchers may not wear compression sleeves which are distracting in nature including designs and reflective material.
  5. Gentlemen, Who is this Tony you speak of? Does he have a website? Contact Info? Sincere thanks
  6. I read today the Dale Scott is retiring after his latest (3rd) concussion. I can find no confirmation anywhere. Anybody ready or seen this news?
  7. So going back to the OP. What's the difference between this paly and...Let's go back in history...
  8. Crease em, Fold em, store em in the upper portion of my gear bag
  9. Gentlemen... Up here in Canada we still have a few MONTHS to go before we hit the field. So now that spring training has kicked off, the juices are starting to flow. I'm looking to create an "accessory" pack to carry with me as part of my gear. What' are the things you make sure you have with you during the season? Cheers .
  10. Cleveland still wanted the intentional dropped ball called. Umpire meeting came to the same conclusion as @udbrky double play stands
  11. First off, Butterworth was a coach who knew the rules. He's no Todd Secondly want to with this quote... "Starting pitcher comes out to warm up wearing white long sleeves. Me; "Sorry, Todd. Pitcher can't wear white sleeves below the elbow." Todd; "Since when?" Me; "since forever." You say you were playing under OBR with variations. I don't believe it says anywhere in OBR a pitchers sleeves cannot be white. So if you feel its been forever I must have missed that rule. Cite and correct me if I am wrong
  12. Unless I already missed it. Perhaps the final curtain for Cowboy Joe as well?
  13. Yes the starter remained in the game. He went to play right and a new pitcher came in from the bench
  14. That's what I thought. I'm getting conflicting answers from my brethren here, so I thought I would see what the peoples here had to say
  15. Set Up Details: Men's League - Caliber is mediocre and down, Uses OBR, Both teams using DH In the 6th. visitors on defence. Manager calls time heads to the mound obviously to make a pitching change. I go to the mound and he advises that the starting pitcher is moving right field, a new pitcher is entering the game, and the DH is done. The pitcher entering the game will bat in the DH slot and the old pitcher will bat in the right fielders slot. While heading back to home plate I shout the changes to the home teams bench, who's manager becomes upset citing this was a double switch and he needed to go to the home plate umpire (me) before heading to the mound, and it should not be allowed. I felt for this level of ball that was not necessary as most players and managers and perhaps even this umpire have no idea what a double switch is. Long and short of it, he keeps up complaining and I eventually dump him. So, Is this a double switch? How many of you enforce the rule to the letter? .
