I looked up ASA rules. You guys need to stop try to find fault first.

Sorry for the multiple posts but this topic appears to be discussed quite frequently on the internet. I found this also - INTENTIONALLY DROPPED BALL. The ball cannot be intentionally dropped unless the fielder has actually caught it, and then drops it. Merely guiding the ball to the ground is not an intentionally dropped ball.

Appears to be rule - 8-2-j. and it specifically states the ball must be caught and dropped merely deflecting isnt enough.

Rule 8 Section 2J (Batter-Runner is Out) A question was submitted on the situation of an intentionally dropped fly ball as it is explained in the rule supplement. Rule Supplement 30 states “The ball cannot be intentionally dropped unless the fielder has actually caught it and then drops it. Merely guiding the ball to the ground is not an intentionally dropped ball.†The purpose of the rule is to prevent a defensive player from gaining an advantage for a possible double play. To have an “intentionally dropped†ball the ball must be caught and then dropped. It is always umpire judgment as to whether the fielder caught the ball and then dropped it. Play:B1 hits a soft line drive to the left of F6 which enters the pocket of his glove and then allows the ball to fall to the ground before securing it to create a double play possibility. Ruling:If in the judgment of the umpire, the ball entered the pocket of the fielder’s glove and the fielder caught the ball and then intentionally let it drop from the glove, the ball is dead, the batter is out and runners return to the last base touched at the time of the pitch

hey - theirs something wrong with your bat, can you take a practice swing for me?

1..Strike 2. 2 3. Strike 3 taught that at a young age and kept it. The guy that taught me was a CBUA Ump and one of the evaluators, so if good enough for him it was good enough for me.

wheres is at? Let me know I'll show up and bait him for you.

Was the pitcher taking signs from the rubber?

you should have took the pay, told the VT they had won, game over and then went to eat and then came back for the next game.

Obstruct in 10 runs, he'll get the message.

i dont grant time unless the play is over. cause the moment you grant time before he gets to first - here comes the coach telling you the BR was instructed to continue on to 2nd.

yes. Plus I'll have to ship it. So + shipping.

60,

Shoes, chest, shins, Mask, officials locker room, 1 b-ball jacket (med) 1 softball jacket (med), and an extra large Wilson equip bag with a seperate space for shoes. I'm thinking $250.00 plus shipping if need be is more than fair.

Rule Keep has dibs,but I'd like to move quick. i will put everything into a large Wilson Equip bag. Have baseball jacket, softball jacket and officials locker room also. shoes - 10 shins - 17 chest is M-L

Show up looking good, everything shined, clean well fitting ETC. As stated earlier you probably earned it. Hustle.

The idiot probably wanted IFF. I'd have gone with Maven's 3rd point. See ya!!!

Zip, zero, nada.

I'll be doing inventory this Saturday - I'll have pic's and sizes. Thanks for the feedback and well wishes.

What level? Some will judge the level of play, the weather, the talent, etc..... For a t-ball game no, pro's yes. Judgement.

Do to ongoing medical issues, it looks like I will not be able to umpire anymore - I probably could but shouldnt. During the next few days (maybe longer) I will be offering up all my stuff probably at the "make me an offer" price. I have Wilson Pro Platinum Shins, Pro Gold West Vest, NB Plate (non Patent) and NB base shoes that are both practically brand new. Wilson Equip bag. Pants, shirts, jackets, softball chest protector. A deal in jersey would probe be best to avoid shipping. I'm going to spend the next few days cataloging and picturing them. Let me know if youre interested.

Thanks Gray I had no idea.

Good for you

I'd love to know what happened. Did he play 6 consecutive outs?
