  1. If they are the protected fielder... no...
  2. I had a JUCO kid mask off the logos and BBCOR sticker and spray paint the rest of the bat black... Told him it still wasn't allowed.
  3. The 20-seconds between pitches... not between pitchers. The batter and pitcher have the same time limit... because of that it is unenforceable.
  4. The timing rule between pitches... It is unenforceable as written.
  5. Mid American Advanced in Kansas City, MO- In September.. I'm going to guess 9/17-9/20
  6. Right... I think that is where they are going with it. Not that I agree with it.
  7. I tend to agree with you here. But... would your opinion change if it was R2 only or the situation started with two outs since they become a runner?
  8. If I may ask... Why? There is some good pieces of information out there. To you, what is the difference between those platforms and platforms like this?
  9. It really depends. A lot of them never meant to be "instructional". Some of them are and the bad part is, they are wrong a lot of the times. Others are just content. It is what it is. They aren't looking to advance. They aren't looking to get better. It has zero effect on my day to day life, so let them have it. I did come across one that happened to be local to me and they actually appeared open to advice. At the end of the day. Let them do what they do... they are mostly harmless.
  10. Sorry... my fault. The use of the 18" base at first instead of the double first base. Because yeah, lets throw off the entire geometry of the field and have teams have to reset their first base anchor. 12, requiring all electronic and audio/visual equipment to remain in the dugout. That would literally mean all cameras would have to film from the dugout, which doesn't help anyone.
  11. Question 10 is the dumbest one on the list. #12 is close behind.
  12. We award any bases that would negate the act of the obstruction. Either way we end up with how we finished.
  13. You hold the point for the strike... then you make a signal if there is a tag attempt... it is much cleaner and eliminates confusion.
  14. The reason why is because it looks terrible to give a safe signal, followed immediately by an out call for the tag. Just point the strike and hold it out.
