I am going to steal Comp's post from HeyBucket. ;)

"10.13.4 The pitcher shall not wear any item on the pitching fingers, hand,
wrist, forearm or thighs that an umpire considers distracting. This
includes a batting glove, sweatband and loose lacing on a glove, or ballcolored
logos. Exception: The pitcher’s fingers, hand, wrist, forearm or
elbow may be taped for injury, providing such tape is a neutral color.

Different rule sets have differing rules. FED does not allow tape or bandages on the pitchers fingers."

(Just pretend I actually knew the answer to your question, who is that comp guy anyways?)

Yes, it is nice when they have a rule.

Where I have gotten in trouble a couple times is arguing a rule that does not exist, must slide was the last one. How do you argue against a call/rule that doesn’t exist? Show me in the rule book where it says you must slide didn’t seem to work.

Last year my niece played against a pitcher that looked like a clown, she went out of her way to make herself look as distracting as possible. I am sure the batters didn’t care what she looked like but her replant drove me nuts.

I do not know why the ump had an Issue with that, I have learned I am too concerned about things that do not bother the players at all so unless they mention something I ignore it.

Speaking of another major replanter I saw over the weekend=> Silkwood,.....jeesh..... I bet she would lose 5mph easy....
