When you used to give SWMBO directions somewhere, based on HS/LL field locations......... ..........and now she does the same.........

@Richveeit WAS meant to be humorous........with me being from PA and all.....

@MadMaxshouldn't you be in the cages....or in a classroom? 😁 Yes, I spoke with Perry

Or a night game?

The only rules I can think of refer to batters becoming runners.......touching bases in order...... As far as a penalty for it........Nope.

IT was a little of both. Don't the pro teams even play in new york?

well, i haven't been on here for quite some time, so just catching up on sarcasm and tongue fu.

I know, but hate the player, not the GAME..............didn't give me an opportunity to enter the SUIT reference.

Congrats! How far do you have to travel?? I mean, they don't really have colleges in NJ, do they?

don't be a hater, it doesn't "suit" you

side tracked.........we all know the depth of detail that @MadMaxwill provide in ANY response. I wonder if he responds to text messages with "K".

............and a partridge in a pear tree

2 out, bases loaded........as you indicated.......means that it is still a force play. "No runs can score when the last out of the inning is a force, or made by the batter runner before reaching first base" My verbiage may be off a bit.........but you should get the gist of it.

now I may not have the EXACT wording, as the interpretation received from Jim Evans 10-15 years ago was that you need voluntary and intentional release. UNLESS, control had been established to the point where normal release could be expected.

Arch, For the "one game", I'm pretty sure you are good. 15 years in the military, odds are he has a security clearance and a more thorough background than LL uses.

ump attire has free returns if you want a try before you buy option....

It's ok to anticipate the play............... It's NOT ok to anticipate the call......

Assistant Coaches are like children of the 1950's. They should be seen, and not heard.

The only time I get together between innings, is a teaching moment when training JR umpires. This 14/15/16 y/o may not recall......"In the bottom of the 2nd inning, XXXXX happened. Why did you/ did you not call this"? For more senior umpires, the situation may stick in your mind easier, as opposed to a youngster that may be having inferiority (for lack of better terms) issues with their performance in the first few games of what hopefully turns out to be a lifelong avocation.

LOL..................ANYTHING that results in the answer to the question "Does the run scrore"......being "that is a time play".

read as "political narrative"

mention vs. warn..........verbiage explains a lot between perceived intent, and just a conversation.

or a lack thereof.
