Rule 8-4

[bam]

On consecutive plays tonight I enforced penalties under rules 8-4-2(a) and 8-4-2(b). In both cases we had R1 R2. Both plays were initiated by F5, who botched both. Score is 14-3 in favor of team on offense in the bottom of the 6th.

On thr first play, he had a nice 5-4-3 DP, but he tries to tag R2 and misses on the dodge. Immediate point and a nice "runner is out of the baseline!" with accompanying mechanic.

Next is a slow roller to F5 where R2 miraculously doesn't make contact at the precise moment F5 muffs it. A nicely timed "that's interference!" With emphatic double fist pump.

By the time offensive coach realizes what's transpired in the last 30 seconds I'm happily in deep right field.

My partner asks me (not in a wise-ass, sarcastic way) when we reach our cars "what were you thinking on those two plays?"

"The Sam Summer in the cooler, bro. Here's yours."
