Defacing the Ball
Our search continues!! Bet no one ever looked at rule 10 either hahaha. 10-2-3-f mentions defacement of the ball is under the plate umpires enforcement- SoulFY

Defacing the Ball
So based on what you are saying it's okay for pitchers to cut the ball because it's okay for players to deface the ball because it's not changing the ball specifications and not specifically define in the rulebook?- SoulFY

Defacing the Ball
What i also found funny is that it happened in the top of the 1st too. So that means the coach gave the umpire brand new slick balls to use. Just hurting his own pitcher if the home team were providing game balls as per the rules- SoulFY

Defacing the Ball
The term defacing is used in the rulebook, you just looked in the wrong area as its not in the pitching rule section. Its in the Rule 1 under softballs. I am guessing those casebook rulings help clarify that rubbing the ball in the dirt is what they consider defacing so naturally rubbing the...- SoulFY

Infield Fly runner kept running - interference?
This falls under interference by a retired runner. Said HS so assuming its NFHS rules, a runner continuing to run AND drawing a throw MAY be considered interference. In your case I would say that it would be interference as the batter runner was already out and drew a throw to 3rd while the...- SoulFY

DD playing in All County Senior game and her HS coach wants her to put on her uniform at the game location
Is changing in the bathroom a big deal? Sounds like something they would tell us umpires lol. We always out dressing and getting changed in the parking lot so maybe I dont feel like its a big deal. Maybe they have had problems in the past with losing uniforms. She already used to being dressed...- SoulFY

Obstruction or good no call?
Would not have obstruction there on that play of 2nd. That would be a textbook case of NCAA type of obstruction though thats been talked about in other post. To me the fielder has the ball well before the runner can get impeded. Just started her slide too when she has the ball. Lots of good...- SoulFY

Obstruction or good no call?
Hard to tell as the 3rd baseman is right in the view. Sure the foot/leg moves in front of the base but cant really tell if the runner was impeded as the fielder is blocking the camera view. If she makes any contact with that leg/foot before she catches it then yes obstruction. Probably a good...- SoulFY

Can the offense appeal a checked swing called a strike?
Keep posting and asking questions. I would say start as soon as possible. Alot of people always say they regret not starting sooner when they really enjoy doing it. Plus another thing, the sooner you start the sooner you will learn and get better. Most of this stuff you will only learn by...- SoulFY

Can the offense appeal a checked swing called a strike?
Looks like it was a very interesting game lol So the perfect answer if everything is done correctly is, yes once the plate umpire calls it a strike because the batter swung at it then that is what it is. I guess the theory is if you believe so much she swung then there is no reason to ask. The...- SoulFY

LBR in effect with entire infield is in pitcher's circle celebrating a strike out?
Yeah from watching it looks like the coach is telling her to run once she is already standing on the base. The SS runs in to slap hands after the pitcher has the ball in the circle and your daughter is already back standing on the base. I guess the coach just saw no one near 2nd and was trying...- SoulFY

If the pitcher has the ball in the circle, the runners cant leave the base. So if the runner is standing on the base and the SS and 2nd run into the circle to slap hands with everyone, the runner should be called out once they try to run for 2nd. But if the pitcher tosses the ball to the other...- SoulFY

Field conditions - is this normal?
Thats the best way to do it, keep moving up the chain. If the school AD cant do anything then get a meeting with the school district superintendent. Bring evidence, pictures comparing the two places showing the unequally. Especially if the facility is not ada compliant with ramps, that is...- SoulFY

Obstruction?
For NCAA its coaches that make these rule changes here is an example of a run down that was being talked about earlier in the thread for NCAA obstruction. Maybe this got overshadowed because of the whole giving the middle finger to the umps that happened next inning- SoulFY
