Is next inning the same as next half inning?

You can't call an obvious infraction on the fair side of the line?

How did they do that?

It's not conflicting but it is troubling that they unslipped it out. But should we ask our amateur rules hechos to explain any changes in their interps? Randy Bruns just this year did an about face without explanation of his previous ruling. MLB explains sht.

I and others posted all your points when the interp first came out. Just call it like they want, or not in your neck of the woods. Once it was made clear in my neck of the woods there were no complaints. And I don't like calling it that way as I also don't like balking F1 going to the mouth on the rubber with a runner/s on.

That's a specific caseplay and the answer is no. 3.4.6-D

I don't see in the caseplays where FED doesn't allow a second visit by the catcher alone to discuss signals. Does the test question cite rule and caseplay when it grades the test. We use our own test in Texas.

A bunch: 2.10.2-B, 2.10.3-c, 3.4.6-A, 3.4.6-B, 3.4.6-C, 3.4.6-D

Off topic: You have not clarified your cite of coach ejection for illegal sub in the Overturning Ejection thread. On Topic: The casebook allows discretion without the ump monitoring for dead ball meetings, sub pitcher - catcher meeting, even a catcher walk out to pitcher to give a HBP ump some time. For some reason FED likes to keep the rule verbiage to a minimum and use caseplays.

8-4-1-g-1 is still in the book. They took out the quoted phrase which allowed you to ignore the RLI. They left in the criteria of avoiding a fielder.

My state has complied with Hopkins interp of RLI but some of you have used "if the act does not interfere with a fielder or a throw" in 8-4-1-g-1 to justify not complying with the interp. Your 2026 book does not have that criteria any more. RLI as Hopkins wants it called is now by rule.

Is this softball? Baseball coach is not ejected for illegal sub.

Don't know of any. Texas UIL has an appeal process that does allow an overturn. Haven't heard of any occurrence. And they specifically state that player ejections can not be overturned by a game official or chapter.

In Texas all the chapters of the State umpire chapters should have board and members meeting. A financial report is usually given and given the volunteer aspect of the officers it may not be detailed. But if you are in attendance, which is lacking to a great degree, in your state I'm guessing they would address your question. How they would respond to it should guide your future involvement with them. Or not, just pay the money and get your game fees.

Charity Golf Classic patch is dated 2008.

Some cleaning up to do with that rule. (2) The batter is out but is he out before touching 1B when he touched it safely and is on 2B? (1) If there is not 2 outs and no play at the plate who is "the runner"?

"6.01(b).....................................If a member of the team at bat (other than a runner) hinders a fielder’s attempt to field a thrown ball, the ball is dead, the runner on whom the play is being made shall be declared out and all runners return to the last legally occupied base at the time of the interference."

I think we can say that the throw was close enough for F2 to try to field it so it's teammate interference. R1 wouldn't be the runner whom would have been played on so the B-R would be out and without replay I could see scoring R1. But replay would have him not touching HP TOI.

Is it still up or out?

3 man, but yes, crew and defensive manager, wow

That was the problem with the previous NCAA rule. The runner is called out at the end of play. Now that he's called out at time of infraction I don't think the defense would play on him again when they have just played on him. Regarding a live ball my cite from the PBUC staff in the BRD says: "Following a coach's interference the assisted runner is out, but the ball remains alive: Other runners may make bases or outs." And Fitzpatrick is also cited: "The runner is out, but the ball remains alive." The cites are circa 2001 so we might need an opinion from Refmasters as to current MLB practice.

I'm not on RQ anymore but I do remember that as an improvement over Arbiter. It was kind of hard to search by topic. Are they still listed just by date. BTW, do you think Randy differed from OBR in calling time when a played on player is assisted. Or is OBR the same now. All I know is PBUC saying to keep it live some years ago.

That didn't make it into the current book but you can find it in NCAA's manual that has all of it's interps, NOT. "PENALTY for e. and f.—A delayed dead ball shall be called. At the conclusion of the play, the assisted runner shall be declared out." I've discussed the problem with calling the out at the conclusion of play before with some who defended following the NCAA rule. You now can call it like the other codes except for killing it when a play is being made on the assisted runner. While the OBR rule references a dead ball interps have the ball being kept live.

All you have to do is make a video of you, yourself, doing that and then turning and taking a windup or set position while remaining engaged/touching the rubber.

No video, no answer.
