You have to specify a play by an infielder in FED and any fielder in OBR/NCAA. I think FED rules as those codes rule with a through or by batted ball. FED doesn't rule as OBR/NCAA with a batted ball that passes not near infielders. OBR/NCAA have a runner hit by a batted ball always out unless the ball went through or by an infielder and no other fielder had a play. In FED with fielders playing in a runner hit by a batted ball behind drawn in infielders, neither of whom had a play, the runner is not called for INT. Thus, I think the string?

Because this isn’t a courtroom, it’s a baseball game. And on a baseball field, be it wrong or right, reputations matter.

I have no comment on whether it was or wasn't...what I would like to talk about is the "handling" of this call... So, we have R1 going on the pitch and a throw down to 2B from F2. U1 is taking the play into 2B. PU makes no indication of batter's interference on the play. The coach comes out and the umpires get together and the call is overturned and the batter is ruled out for interfering with the catcher. What exactly happened or was said in that umpire conversation? Or what do we THINK happened in that conversation? U1 is taking that play into 2B. He is about 100+ feet from the plate and his back is turned when the throw is released. Is U1 really going into that conversation with the "information" for PU that the batter interfered with the catcher? Is this really the kind of play umpires should get together on? ~Dawg

I see no hinderance from this angle. Catcher’s throw is well on its way by the time batter crosses the plate. I have no idea how he let BU change his mind

The baseline means nothing. There are two rules at play. One is whether he could be called out for abandonment: ": Any runner after reaching first base who leaves the base path heading for his dugout or his position believing that there is no further play, may be declared out if the umpire judges the act of the runner to be considered abandoning his efforts to run the bases." He did believe there was no further play but did not head for his dugout or position (or is his position in the batter's box?) and in your OP was not called out for abandonment. The other rule requires an immediate return after overrunning which he did not do and was subject to being tagged for an out: "(4)  He is tagged, when the ball is alive, while off his base. EXCEPTION: A batter-runner cannot be tagged out after overrunning or oversliding first base if he returns immediately to the base;" While the baseline means nothing the trajectory of the runner in regard to the baseline or 2B might make us judge that the runner did not immedately return anf if there was a tag off the base we would call him out.

FYI Ebag is having a fire sale….. https://www.ebags.com/luggage/wheeled-duffels/mother-lode-large-checked-rolling-duffel/117751XXXX.html?dwvar_117751XXXX_color=Solid Black&cgid=wheeled-duffels

I am planning on using the large for shirts/jackets, the medium for more shirts or pants, and maybe the slims for accessories… pens, Lineup Cards, or brush. Know a lot of people who have them and they say the cubes are a must.

This can work (my company has done it for years). You don't get what you don't ask for.

Gah! LOL - I know I’m a cheap bastard … e-mailed their customer service to see if they could apply this retroactively. Just like a coach, it doesn’t hurt to ask and try. 😁

With the NFHS points of emphasis from this year in mind I think this becomes a non issue. NFHS basically said that the pitch clock has been in the rule book since the 70’s but was only put there to be an arrow in the quiver to help keep the game moving but really became a rule that we all silently agreed to ignore. However with the changes in Pro ball and NCAA where the pitch clock is strictly enforced, I think the pitch clock enforcement will trickle down to high school very soon and anyone who has hat trouble will fix it themselves so they can stop having pitch clock violations. Just a thought.

Thanks for the WELCOME15 coupon code, you just saved me $13!!!!! You got anymore, 😂!

4/28 (today). They also have $5 shipping on all orders right now, also. (Sorry @wolfe_man!) My Force 3 will run a little longer. 😛

not supporting any news out there, bias or unbiased, rag information or true/false information and not supporting/supporting anyone nohow noway, whatever way our minds go as we know, the epicenter of baseball has i think, what do i know, been New York. Maybe not a long long time ago, but in more recent times. There have been many from the NY Yankees front office to go to the MLB front office as former players, managers, travel, sales, whatever you can think of. So, a lot of info seems to come out of the NY Times, NY Post and i am not supporting either one although i am giving something found in the NY Post. If everyone considers either one a National Inquirer type thing, how the heck/dog gone whatever, would i know, i am dumb. Baseball gets to chose how they will handle the situation, subtly as the article mentions, (basically behind closed doors) or publicly. https://nypost.com/2024/04/22/sports/aaron-boone-gets-ejected-after-expletive-filled-fight-with-ump/ second follow up piece https://nypost.com/2024/04/25/sports/hunter-wendelstedt-to-face-subtle-discipline-for-aaron-boone-ejection/ and don't forget, everything out there is being evaluated (ding, no ding, or stands) for post season consideration. Ball/strike, safe/out, situation handling, mentorship, teamwork and everything else on the evaluation checkoff sheet, day in and day out. and, i would imagine, there is a way MLB would prefer to see almost every situation handled, not counting the new situations and 801c things that may come up. and, sometimes an umpire on the spur of the moment, may have to make a decision on a new situation (not exactly the same in every form that MLB has already talked about) that they feel is correct and what they believe MLB wants/how the situation to be handled. and, if major league baseball says that in that particular situation they want it handled a different way, the umpire cannot worry that they miss a playoff doing what they think is the right way Major League baseball would want a situation handled. You are not going to win all the time no matter how hard you try (such is life). Then when MLB tells you what they want on that new variable situation, you may get the chance to do it their way, when that exact same situation in every detail occurs again.

Of course, right after I bought one (in shipping) for $105 last week. 😁

I have never turned my back on F2 throwing to 2B when I am in B or C. It seems as though this is also the case with BU in this scenario. Turning away from where the ball is would be the first step in having a throw planted in your temple. Keep your chest to the ball and have your head on a swivel. While BU may have some information that may help, PU needs to own this call.

That. Suppose there was no OBS. IN that case, BR makes second easily and does not retreat (I assume). That's what the result should be after OBS.

Me neither. In your play you gave all the info you had to PU. It didn't sway him. That's all you can do*. * Until NFHS deems BU GOD instead of PU of course

By means passed closely near and playable by the infielder.

Picked up a Force 3 from Gerry Davis during the current sale. Added a 6” Wilson TG and taped the harness. Ready to roll it out next week.

1a) It's not a timing play. 1b) It's not even a time play. 2) It's not a force out. 3) It is, however, the third out being made by the BR before reaching first. So, no run scores.

I think when you have as bad of a reputation with umpires as Boone does, this thing will happen. He picks on the young umpires and I’m happy to see that the Veterans are sticking up for their young guns. You get what you deserve Karen Boone.

When you're getting sniped...things like this will occur. One way to prevent it...stop sniping the umpire.

Oh, Aaron certainly earned that EJ... His actions over the past several years has earned him a poor reputation and therefore he has lost the benefit of the doubt. You see actions and antics do have consequences. Ever hear of the boy that cried wolf? In Hunter's defense, he said that Boonie is the manager and thus responsible for the bench. In his mind, whether Boone or his bench made the comments, it's Boonie that gets the EJ there. I realize a fan said it, but we can't expect Hunter to know that during the game when he is focused on umpiring. Short version is this.... don't want to get ejected? Then, start being reasonable and workable with the umpires. Once they see you're being reasonable, you can start getting the benefit of the doubt again. But the old "act like a fool, get treated like a fool" applies here.

Yeah, this didn’t happen in a vacuum. Aaron Boone has starred in many ejection videos during his tenure as manager, and I’m sure he has earned himself the shortest leash possible. Maybe take a lesson from this and re-evaluate how you do business with the umpires. Or don’t, and don’t be surprised when something like this happens.

Those examples are UNDER Regulation VI(k) Note 3, which refers to the "pitchers of record". It is plural because there are two, one for each team. The pitchers of record are the ones who were pitching at the time of the suspension. It was tied at the bottom of the fourth so the pitchers of record are the visitor's pitcher who completed the fourth inning and the home pitcher who was pitching when it was suspended. None of the past pitchers in the game can get a win or a loss so they are not pitchers of record.
