I was reading the 2018 MLBUM the other day and came across what appears to be a new interpretation of a fair ball. Does this change the old definition/interp of a fair ball where any part of the ball could be over fair territory even if the "base" of the ball was resting in foul territory? Or does it mean something else?

Good no call. Leave it alone. There's nothing there. That being said...had he attempted to make another play, I think he would've gotten the call.

I locked the "Ask the Umpire" Tracking thread so we can continue the discussion here.

Duplicate thread. See "Mechanics" to continue the discussion.

Oh for sure. But I see 'over the top' mechanics to make sure they hear four counties over that we have time. It's just not necessary to be that obnoxious. Absolutely, send them back. No advancements or outs. Hopefully the umpire has the sense to make sure play has relaxed before turning around.

I thought the exact same thing yesterday. He asked it in two places.

It generally is not and yes they can. They can also be thrown out. No bush league business though.

If you are working 12U, look for strikes. The kids need to learn to swing the bat. If it's a hittable pitch, call it. Hitters will adjust or not. As for the groans, eff em. As you describe it, letters are a strike, esp in 12U. Call strikes, you'll start to see your games flow better. Good luck.

Just making sure he touched the plate! :-)

Right around $100 day plus beer money is pretty fair.

Esp on the wrestlebacks. It was so un-fun I didn't work any legion playoffs the last few years. It was actually fun again this year. -

Going back to 7s, may have saved legion baseball. -
Stumble - Ems Win Northwest Championship on Balk-Off

Just double checking....the only runner that matters on a walk off balk is R3? Is that right? -
Good find. Thanks!

Here's what I could find...is this it?

I did see video this morning...he didn't fall flat on his face...but it looked like he may have caught his shoe lace or something (assuming that's the same video)

Thread has run it's course. If for some reason, I've missed the inside joke, feel free to PM. Enjoy the pants!

Yep, I think that's exactly why he did it. Was to have them issue a statement, also why it probably came from the CC.
