I'm waking up too [emoji6]

Arik, why is a stand-off not constitutionally protected? I hardly even know what an anthem stand-off is

I will always stand. But if the kids want to kneel I'm not going to do anything to stop it, unless there's a new rule against it

Hey I guess you're right, U-E>FB! Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

You should not have allowed the batter to get first base. In LL, he cannot run to first on a D3K after he enters the dugout. Should've been 3 outs.

Ah, I see. What happens if he trucks another fielder, that is not the catcher? Out + EJ?

Sure. R2, double to the outfield. R2 obstructed around third base and then trucks the catcher standing with the ball at home. Also, can the defense still appeal the missed tag up if you award them 3B and they never tag up?

OBR, sorry for not mentioning

1) R2, caught fly ball and R2 is attempting to retouch second base but is obstructed while going back. He a) would've made it back without obstruction and b) wouldn't have made it back. Are they awarded 3B regardless? 2) I can't find anything in the rules about this. If a runner is obstructed (type 2), what actions can they do that would override obstruction? ie interference

Unsportsmanlike conduct, deviated from pathway to initiate contact. Auto EJ

I'll start off by noting my age -- 16. Because of that, I feel like I take more heat than older umpires. Last night there was a close play at first base -- I called the runner safe, and I was entirely confident with my call. Coach comes out and asks for me to ask PU for help because he "had a much better angle than you." I said "she was safe" probably 3 or 4 times, because as I said, I was pretty much positive I got it right. Coach keeps asking, and I say "that's enough" while turning my back to him, which he responds with a "no, that's not enough" and follows me. I say "alright, please go back to your dugout" and he does, but while loudly saying "that's BS, that's BS" (no, not swearing). I chose not to restrict/eject because 1) I didn't feel he crossed the line enough (though if he kept going I would've restricted) and 2) he wasn't swearing. But I am not sure if I should've restricted for this. Can I have some tips on how to better handle situations like these, especially because I'm already disadvantaged because of my age? Thanks!

Who leaked?

Definitely interested. Thanks for checking that out! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Shipping is pretty expensive, isn't it? Something like $35?

Nice deal. Would definitely buy if you weren't in Canada.
