Thanks for the info guys, we officiate a weird sport.
-
Bringing up a week old thread but am curious. On a force play how can a runner beat the throw but miss the plate? When I say beat the throw I mean the ball arrived, fielder has possession and makes contact with bag with ball in glove, but runner "beats it", running through the base (or HP), but not touching. Would you call him out immediately because he never touched the base, thus is out on the force, or once he runs passed the base it has to be appealed?

Majestic Cool Base black shirt with white piping
taa71458 replied to Get it Right's topic in Umpire Equipment
Purchaseofficials.com @JimKirkhave you seen the stock yet? I'm curious about the material used. I have a black and light blue both smitty with the vertical piping. Material on the two are worlds apart. Black is soft and comfortable, blue feels stiff. I'm hoping these are softer more performance feel. -
First year with the wraparound for me. I do enjoy them and they feel comfortable and provide nice protection. That being said, the pads can get a little uncomfortable in the high temps.

Hidden ball trick and double run down situation
taa71458 replied to ccourtney's topic in Umpire Mechanics
There is absolutely no reason a BU should be moving to a position until the ball is in the pitcher's glove. -
Thats my Milwaukee Brewers! Trying to go second to home on a passed ball.

I have a few game used UTrip balls in my trunk. $5 signed OBO.

I'm with @maven. I'm being proactive on these plays, especially when BR starts taking off towards first.

They should have the ump-cam as its own feed option on WatchESPN

Fantastic photography, though.

I can take the Black TW off your hands. How used are they?

A toe on the line would consider that foot in fair territory right?

I'm with Ken on this one.

Also, never ask PU for help on a banger at 2nd.

Why box the kids out there? I'd yell to them he's out if he doesn't touch. You'd have to think they'd let him come in first.

Someone will need to post UCSB's walk off today and the PU getting caught in the dogpile at home plate.

IMO ears are just as important as eyes in these situations.Did you hear it hit the bat before the glove? Did you hear the ball hit the dirt before the glove.

Had a kid hitting, pitching, and playing first base with this situation today. I think it's awesome. This is USSSA major level so he was no slouch either. Major props for the dedication it takes him to make his motions and adjustments natural.

What a time we live in where there are now established rules on drones.
