    So sorry to hear. You will rebound. From the spirit you convey through the forums, it's apparent to me that you are a focused and driven man. Focus that drive on the rehab and good things will happen. Maybe more evaluations of others for a while to keep your hand in officiating.

    FED: 2B

    I would tell catcher, "That looks like a double set, go tell him <brush, brush, brush>" I would prefer this to be a quick word with the head coach between innings, but by then, I may have seen it 25 times and by that time, it's is de facto allowed because I didn't call it the first 25 times.

    What's the phrasing on that warning? I'm new to FED ball and I wonder how that would go. I would love to grab a new tool for my tool box here. Thanks in advance.

    I think that bit about using the rule book to solve problems and not create problems applies here. If this happened in one of my games, I'd look at those glasses, wonder what took them so long to think of it, and proclaim "I'm good with it, let's play ball!". R

    Seems like light penalties to me.

    Leather Luster! Then spray and wipe after every game.

    I do not understand this point of view. I know we are speculating about what's in the managers mind but, do they think the umpire is intentionally making an incorrect call to hurt or punish the player? What professional adult would do that? Maybe I'm simple, but I'm just trying to get the call right. I don't have time to consider who the player is or remember what his batting average is or anything else. I really don't care what the count is in this case. Do I think he went? Yes? Then call the strike! Incorrect calls are part of the game. How does the manager or player tantrum help anyone involved in the game(except the broadcast network)?

    we may learn which ones to mute during video playback.

    Post season tournament rules? No. A cannot re-enter for C. A and B are 'paired'. If no eligible subs are available (all are already paired), the opposing manager may select from players not currently in the lineup for who will sub for C. Now that selected player and C are paired. Selected player un-paired from his original partner.

    I do not. However the nature of the game is that the call is made by the umpire and it is not the players place to correct him when the wrong call is made. If a player comes up and says "Hold on, I dropped the ball, you didn't see it because of ..., but I dropped it and didn't have a good catch", how long does that player keep his job? How does this discussion change when it's Little League where the player is not paid to win? I know coaches that would penalize the player w/ less playing time if he gave away outs.

    Getting late in the LL season. Is this a Section tournament? Around here we have District, Section, Sub-Division, Division, Region LL tournaments.

    I collected four this weekend from Little League Majors and Minors teams. I collect them for every game except scrimmages.

    elares replied to gymcoch's question in Ask the Umpire

    If this is Little League, you have "inciting", "unsportsmanlike", and "arguing judgment calls" to work into your ejection report.... Ignore Acknowledge - Death stare Warn - I like this "Stop this behavior or you will have ejected yourself from this game" Eject - calm, matter of fact. Ejections are part of baseball...why are you denying the participants the Full Baseball Experience?

    I wear it over wicking shorts, and under the NB jock. Works as well as traditional and provides a bit more coverage. If I were to lose it, I would replace it w/ same.

    If a catcher receives one pitch that goes to a pitchers pitch count, that counts as an inning. Any catcher that catches any part of any four innings cannot pitch.

    Our league added a local rule this season to define Game Site as the entire three field complex and parking lots. Last year a coach was ejected and while missing the next scheduled game for his team on field 1, was coaching his other son's game on field 3. Not this year.

    Did he also tell you that the hands are part of the bat?
