    Rule Enforcement

    One may grow up and continue through life believing that something is permissible simply because s/he never suffers the repercussions of doing something wrong. An example would be the police don’t strictly enforce the driving laws in their area, so drivers become a little lax in their actions...

    OBSTRUCTION since someone was too lazy to start a new thread :)

    Yes, there is an LBR violation, but once that runner is ruled out, the ball becomes dead and the OBS ruling is applied which would either place the obstructed runner at 1st or 2nd base depending upon what base the umpire judged the runner would have reached safely had that obstruction not...

    First Base

    When are coaches going to start teaching players how to receive a throw at 1st base? Being seeing it for years at all levels. Saw it three more times today in the SEC & Big 10 playoffs where F3 plants a foot and the base and leans toward the fielder about to throw the ball and cannot recover...

    Just out of curiosity, who ever thought of putting NY, NJ, PA & DE under "New England States"? A map in the Christmas stocking may be a good idea :)

    Olympics

    ESPN I think this is a sucker bet if ISF goes this route. IBAF has zero commitment from MLB to allow players to partake in the Olympics and this has been the deal-breaker since the introduced to IOC. Those sitting on the IOC admittedly believed the vote on softball was the same as a vote on...

    Hats/Visors in Bad Weather

    Caught some of the Noah's Ark Invitational played Friday night in Athens, GA against Florida. I'm not a fan of playing in any type of precipitation, let alone a steady rain, but they did at UGA. However, it reminded me of something I have never figured out. IF you are going to put players in...

    Is it time to change the field in FP?

    The bases have been 60' in distance for what seems to be forever, at least 75 years that I can document. However, with the hi-tech, powerful bats and the hard and lively anything-but-soft balls combined with the always increasing athleticism and finely-honed skills of today's player, is it time...

    Do you coach to the game or the players?

    Confusing subject line, but wasn't sure how to word it. My question is, do you coach the players to do the best the can and win or lose the game based on their performance? Or do you coach to win the game by any means possible? :rolleyes: Do you get on the umpire about ruling a runner out for...
