    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    LBR in effect with entire infield is in pitcher's circle celebrating a strike out?

    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...

    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...

    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

    Obstruction?

    Yes the uniform gave it away I was right lol. A copy and paste link should work depending on the video player and site it's coming from

    Obstruction?

    Yeah as the plate, I will always see the runner rounding 3rd for obstruction and touching the base. No way I would hold my arm up though for that long if the runner got obstructed at 3rd. Would be too busy moving and reading the throw for the play at home. Might be a college game as they are...

    Hitting team calls time out, can defense coach visit mound?

    For NFHS, when one side takes a conference, the other can conference too as long as they finish the conference at the same time. Don't see it much but a defense coach can run out quickly to talk to the pitcher while the batter calls time to talk to the coach. As long as the defense coach...

    Quitting already?

    And that's why I only like doing high school games because everything is alot more controlled and the behavior isn't tolerated. You have administrators at the game to help you deal with the fans and to kick out real problem people.
