Thanks!

Happen to have a rule reference? Thanks

OBR Fly ball in foul territory by 3rd. Base coach makes no effort to get out of the way. Interference? Thanks

That's what i figured. Once I got the ENTIRE story, I figured it would.

I'm not sure if he called time but either way he didn't "confer" pitcher, just told him to appeal and that was the extent of the conversation.

So I've got a little more info that this question was based on. This is after a caught fly ball with a runner advancing. Coach comes out of the dug out and walks to the foul line and tells the pitcher to step off and throw to make an appeal. Umpire considered this a visit. I'm think this does not constitute a visit.

OBR Coach is granted time and calls his pitcher over to the foul line and talks to him. Coach doesn't cross the line. He contends this shouldn't be counted as a visit. What do you think? (by rule) Or is this just too 3rd world to even have a rule? Thanks

A couple of follow up questions... If the batter attempts to get out of the way and unintentionally still does it would still be considered interference? Regardless as to the intent? So for this type of interference the runner is out and the batter continues his at bat? (unless two out) Does this penalty also apply to interference when the catcher is trying to retire a runner stealing? Thanks

I think it already is a generic brand / label. Probably like saying Band-aids. Everyone knows what you mean when you say it.

LOL... just for the TV piece.

We aren't actually "Little League" at any level. I think probably like most people, they are using that term to represent youth baseball. These were 14u players.

Down the drain... no pun intended.

Would someone please turn off the faucet!

What's the point of C? Results are the same as B. Or vice versa. Both result in 2 outs and no run scoring.

It was either Game 5 or 6 but just before the MGRs came out they were showing a shot from behind home plate (from the stands area) and the plate umpire was "erasing" the catcher's box. Why? Thanks

Is there video available for this?

So what was the result on this? Did they end up calling it a foul ball?

I did say lightweight "jacket" in my original post but yea... a shell would be an apt description.

I guess I need to be more specific. I'm looking for a lightweight, non-convertible, jacket with the "stripes" on the shoulders. Thanks

Suggestions for a lightweight "jacket"? Closer to a windbreaker than a jacket. Thanks

Only one way to learn and that's by asking questions. We all were new at one point in time.

Thought so. Thanks

OBR - R1 Classic situation where the batter steps out of the box with no time called and the pitcher stops his delivery. Right before this happened, R1 takes off for second and is about half way there. Since this is not a balk, do we just reset and have R1 return to 1st? Thanks
