  1. How do I delete a double post?
  2. In my rec league for the age groups that use the 5 run rule, they let the final play continue to completion and all runs count. For example, 4 runs in the inning and a kid hits a grand slam, all 8 runs count and the inning is over.
  3. This was one of the most bizarre baseball videos I have ever seen. I assume the pitcher got ejected but it is not mentioned in the article or the video.
  4. My laziest partner told me that the base umpire has all the calls on the bases and wouldn't move from home plate.
  5. It was on the list of potential questions for IHSA. Me and my friends narrowed it down to C and D, as you guys have but I have no idea what the question is really asking. I'm really hoping its not on the actual test. I was saying C was my choice because as long as the player isn't dyeing the ball would remain live.
  6. This bizarre question is on my open book test The ball remains alive when: * A. the umpire considers the weather or ground conditions unfit for play * B. after 30 minutes he may declare the game ended * C. there is a medical emergency * D. a pitcher is unhappy with the calling of balls and strikes I'm leaning C. Any ideas?
  7. It was the championship for the next age group up. They do all the rec league championships on one day.
  8. I did a 12U championship game that went 9 innings (3:30) and then I had the game immediately after that. The second one only went 2:30 but it was 95+ degrees that day.
  9. How much chirping do you allow? Mostly I get "come on blue" or similar groaning and nothing really offensive/vulgar.
  10. Last season I was doing a 12U tournament, 2M system and this one coach had been on my partner and I all game. He was nitpicking about every little call. As we were walking off the field after the game he walked over from talking with his team to tell us "That was horse****" and something along the lines of "you guys are the worst ever". My partner held up his hand and said "enough, we are done here" and we walked away. We reported the coach to the TD. Do you think this was handled correctly? Or should it have been a post game ejection?
  11. Thank you guys for your explanations.
  12. What do you think of this call made by the 2B ump? Personally, I wouldn't call interference on Casilla. http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=24993687&topic_id=9780550&c_id=mlb&tcid=vpp_copy_24993687&v=3
  13. Hi fellow members, my name is Sam and I can't wait to start my 6th season of umping in a few weeks. Feel free to contact me about baseball anytime.
