That's fine, but ........ to an umpire who's never seen the kid? A freshman pissed off he missed a cock-shot? Let it go. Read the room, and just remember it next time he comes up
Tell your umpire friend to go to a clinic or a camp and learn something. Read the rule-book, ... ANYTHING!! GEEEEZ!! These are the people who give all of us a HORRIBLE name!
As discussed, and as asked for in the forum re: Ask The Umpire ... "please let us know what rule set you're referring to" so we can appropriately answer your question. HIGH SCHOOL as been noted above by @Velho
Ok, great then! I mean, we discussed this at length last year about how the NCAA had the proper verbiage within their rule and that FED needed to do the same. At least there's clarification within the case plays now
So, John ..... are you saying that this "situation Y" from the 2024 casebook is a NEW COMMENT in the "RULING" area clarifying that a runner must veer away?
