    leaving the field of play

    Mtr there was only 1 base coach he prefers to not have a 1st base coach. He saw the pulled foot and the bu made the out call at first so he was trying to get him to ask for help from the pu. I'm not sure why the pu called her out that's why I thought it was strange and I just was wondering if...

    leaving the field of play

    Thanks at some point if you can let me know for my own knowledge I'd appreciate it. I thought it was something like that and I would think that they would want to get the call right. Would you as a pu go to your partner in this situation and talk to them or wait until he asked for your input...

    leaving the field of play

    I was in the stands and yes I am a umpire. I was watching my kids play not working and I try to not get involved in their games. I asked the plate umpire why he called her out and he said she left the field of play and I said that his partner called her out so she left because he told her to and...

    Runner Hit by Batted Ball

    thasts what i was saying though a line drive up the middle and 2nd/ss are 20 ft from the ball there is no way they will make a play on that ball why is the runner automatically out? it passed the reach of ss and 2nd base.

    Runner Hit by Batted Ball

    i do slow pitch and i have not called the runner out a few times on balls hit up the middle and it hits the runner at 2nd no chance for a play by either middle infielder or a chance for either outfielder. am i wrong on that?

    look back rule

    my question is as always why would the runner stop 1 foot from the base? there is no reason to do that. if i was a coach i would be correcting my players on that fact. i hate it when baserunners do that slow walk back to the base staring at the pitcher. just get back and let her make the next...
