    Obstruction times 2

    I've never done Little League softball, so I could easily be wrong here, but I didn't think Little League had that rule.

    A Question about Offensive Interference

    Re-read the rule that CPEM quoted, specifically the note: When the INT is called, the ball is dead, the runner is out, and the batter is awarded first base. She doesn't come up again. That's how you fill in the box: awarded first base -- I think it affects stats similarly to a FC, but don't...

    Restrictions on eye black (NFHS)

    How about bubble gum buckets?

    Scorekeeping Question: RP gets save or not?

    Also: Unless there's a win (by some other pitcher), there can't be a save.

    Batting out of order

    Wow, horrible mistake I made there. Ajaywill and Comp are correct, of course; it should have read as Ajaywill says; a pitch to the NEXT batter makes the PREVIOUS batter legal. I knew what I meant, but I sure didn't write what I meant.

    Batting out of order

    Edit: I'm leaving this here so that the later posts make sense, but it's so mangled that fixing it will probably just make it worse. Pay no attention to this; read Ajaywill's and Comp's subsequent posts. Until there's an appeal, nothing happens, so the defense can appeal or not, as it...

    Illegal pitch scores run

    That's an IP; the pitcher can rub her hands in the dirt and then go to the ball, but can't rub the ball in the dirt. That was an official interp in 2013 (situation 5 at that link). How far down the line was the batter-runner? Was the throw on target?

    illegal reentry question

    I've never done ISF, but it appears that under their rules the penalty does not include an out anyway, just ejection: Edit: Unless the sub was unreported. Section 8b.

    Important Umpire News

    It says lawyers make $132,000. Apparently I'm the wrong kind of lawyer.

    Run scores on D3K

    No run scores on any play on which the third out is made by the batter or batter-runner before reaching first. The run does not count.

    is there such a thing as a mlb hitting instructor cetification?

    They have hitting coaches, and some orgs used to have roving instructors, who generally worked more in the minors than the majors - they may still have those. But I think if you took a kid who just made it to the bigs, and said to him, "Here, meet Big Jim Farnswoggle, he washed out of the...

    What parents are really saying...

    When I was a kid (and dinosaurs walked the earth), I read a book on playing baseball. Its advice, which I've passed along many times since, was: It's okay to run like a man carrying a stove, as long as you move as if the stove was hot!

    Say yes or no to the face mask?

    Oddly enough, I had a cooooolwater sandwich on a Sunday-go-to-meetin' bun.

    Ackward situation

    Just a thought - maybe the other coach was from elsewhere, and Coach A wanted to convince Coach B that there were no good players in the area so that Coach A could have the cream of the crop himself? Edit: Dang, Chinamigarden, you type faster than me.

    Blocking/Obstruction/Interference rules - ASA ? (Sorry - couldn't find it)

    The NCAA rule is quite different; you asked about ASA. NCAA still has the "about to receive" language in their rules.
  16. H

    what would umpires consider a bunt?

    Here's what NCAA says about checked swings: Nothing about crossing the plate.

    Interference

    You can't protest judgment calls, that's correct. (An appeal is when you bring a particular violation of the rules to the umpire's attention, most notably a runner missing a base or a player batting out of order.)

    Interference

    Yeah, sorry, 100% judgment. Even I'm not right all the time. (Okay, I'm hardly ever right.)

    Flex/DP rule

    No, sorry, CoachGSJ, what the others have said is straight out of the rule book (assuming ASA):

    Obstruction ruling.

    Dixie's rules are online; here's the obstruction rule (it's basically the MLB rule, with two kinds of obstruction, this one being what the baseball guys call Type B, with no play being made): So, umpire's judgment on what base to award the runner. That much is the same in all rule sets I'm...
