    Horrible obstruction call UCLA vs stanford

    It is a catch but I do not see how wording it in front is safer. Catcher still going to make the play. Never seen a catcher watch a by to avoid obstruction. I prefer the impede language and catcher does what they want.

    Horrible obstruction call UCLA vs stanford

    Rule states something about if in the umpires judgement the player would have been out. Wonder if replay looks at that?

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    Are you against Title IX? Women’s sports all together? Truly do not understand but not wanting to assume. Human vs Human does away with women’s sports.

    Dropped third strike play

    A retired runner is a retired runner. Thus the distinction between the two in the rule book. A runner has a right to an unoccupied base. If in this case you treat as a runner the then wouldn’t they be safe or out when they reach first?

    Dropped third strike play

    Before you apply any rule, you must determine what the player going to first is. Is the player a runner, a batter runner, a batter, or non of them? IMO, the player is not a runner or batter runner. Applying rules that references them is not correct.

    Improving consistency

    One thing DD has taken to heart is just make the next pitch. You can’t go back in time. The other thing is to make sure it is a team game. The W or L goes with the team. If they are facing good hitters with a tight zone, probably giving up some runs. Their team should also be able to score...

    Improving consistency
