Maybe. Depends what the runners are doing and what happens after. There is no actual guidance in the rule or case book to say when the ball becomes dead is there?
-
Possibly but I've also noticed that some F1s have a bad habit of doing things like not fully stopping and other such behaviors while warming up. I don't tend to mess with their warm-up routines especially at older ages because as I learned when I was a catcher, pitcher's are head cases.
-
It is two bases from TOI as you've noted in the Awards Table; however, B is the "most correct" answer of the four as it is half true. Answers A, C and D are not true at all. A is not true because the ball will not be killed until the end of playing action. If F2 scoops the ball with his mask, a subsequent play is still possible (like an overthrow into the outfield).
-
Jeff, 11mb is considered a big file still? What is this, 1999? I think the pitcher keeps his feet moving just enough that this isn't a start-stop balk but it is very very close.
-
That is disappointing to hear but not surprising considering the (lack of) quality of some of their other products lately. Their new run of football shirts that our association bought en masse last year are awful.
-
I was doing a little reading on the balk rule today. Reading through the BRD, I came across this Wendelstedt interp for OBR that surprised me. I've always understood the OBR rule to be the same as Fed that once the pitcher comes set after the stretch, he could not turn his shoulders at all unless throwing/feinting to a base or starting his pitching delivery. It seems I've been mistaken this whole time, yet? What throws me is I'd expect to see more MLB pitchers do this and yet we don't seem to.

There's also Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Pilot-Retractable-Rolling-Assorted-31203/dp/B000GFJKVY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455566567&sr=8-1&keywords=Mini+pilot+g2

You are correct, of course, and noumpere addressed that in his post which I conveniently glossed over in my mind. I believe the answer the test is looking for is C for the reason I stated above.
-
Rick, Jeff is correct, I sent him a personal FB message.
-
I agree, it is C. D is not a foul ball due to 5-1-1-h.
-
Sent you a message on Facebook.
-
I think I need to get some of those!
-
Agree, three. This play does not meet any of the 9-1-1 exceptions so all preceding runners score.
-
Just got my first assignments of the year. First game is Tuesday and I have the dish. Have I mentioned I love our weather?
-
I agree that we should be working to recruit and bring in new blood but we're fighting against the reality that availability is tough at the high school level. I'm one of the youngest guys in my association and I'm approaching my mid-30s. I'm fortunate to have a career that gives me the flexibility to make games that start at 3:30; many younger guys are not that fortunate.
-
I'm not touching this, especially when it comes to eyeglasses. If this becomes a big enough issue, we can run it up through the association or Fed can institute a rule change in 8-10 years.
-
Sorry to drag this up but I'm curious, @grayhawk and @maven, which part of Carl's play do you disagree with? Is it keeping the ball live and ignoring the interference if the ball stays fair?
-
Somebody...I think maybe MidAmUmp...said not that long ago that the color of the Davis polywools matched the Honig's ones perfectly.
-
It's easier to kill the ball right away if you're just "resetting" everyone. That is perhaps an unintended consequence of the Fed rule in raising the bar for what follow through interference is they are reducing the frequency in when it is called.
-
@noumpere, I think the purpose of Situation 9 is to illustrate that as long as it doesn't extend below the elbow, a solid color isn't required and that Situation 11 is to illustrate that a compression sleeve above the elbow can be white or grey but they also included the black or dark color. Poorly worded to be sure but that seems to be what they are trying to convey.
-
Also known as backswing or weak interference.
-
A throw to F4 at 2nd base to retire the R1 I take it? If you can find a link to that I'd appreciate it.
-
Steve, I very much respect you from your posts both here and on FB so it's given me pause to consider my argument to read your disagreement, believe me. Same with maven. I'll leave this thread be, I appreciate everyone's insight.
-
I agree, my response was to Senor Azul.
