    High-Five a base runner?

    I know. And thanks. Was trying to fix the tracks before it was a complete derailment

    High-Five a base runner?

    yes, line up. you said "the umpire should not have to fight for position to observe the runners touching the plate". I just used your same tactics it's called proper game management. an umpire with good game management skills makes this a non-issue by instructing the players to stay clear...

    High-Five a base runner?

    You mean like run out and congratulate the hitter for hitting a home run by meeting them at the plate? Baseball. I haven't seen a slow pitch game that didn't involve church or drinking beer in 15 years. The no assist rule is often used in baseball when players high five the batter.

    High-Five a base runner?

    No. Moral of the story is that umpires make incorrect calls sometimes.

    High-Five a base runner?

    That's just a turd of an attitude. There are two umpires that have absolutely nothing else to do on a dead ball... one would think that they could verify touching of home plate with players lined up along the 3rd base line high fiving the hitter.

    High-Five a base runner?

    What? They are congratulating a team mate who just hit the best possible hit in the game of softball. Something that does not occur all too often.

    High-Five a base runner?

    High-Five a base runner?

    Did I see something recently that the warning is being removed? It'll will be an out upon first offense going into next year (NCAA)

    High-Five a base runner?

    Drudging up an old thread. Similar situation as to the original post. 2 base runners on. Batter hits home run over the fence. Both base runners cross home plate and touch all the bases. Batter touches all of the bases and is greeted at home plate by team mates who apparently high five or...

    Effects of swimming glove?

    When my daughter had severe glove swim, she, indeed, wasblosing too soon but was missing inside. She was hitting righties. Her pitching hand mirrored her glove hand and caused her to swing around her body and release an inside pitch, not outside.

    Is Hands/Knob to the ball Dead?

    Let me ask you a question. Do you think all "good" MLB hitters swing the same?

    Is Hands/Knob to the ball Dead?

    I've never said anything like that, except where you, once again, attempted to put words in my mouth. I've never said shove, push, pull, etc

    Is Hands/Knob to the ball Dead?

    With his swing, it's the top hand. Depending upon the batter I might would say find the ball with the index knuckle.... but that would be a part of all of the rest of the swing.... so as no one is taking it out of context.

    Is Hands/Knob to the ball Dead?

    No, what I am pointing out to you is that Musgraves studied MLB hitters and realized that MLB hitters were not all the same but there were a few things that were consistent among them. Hand path was not one of them. Some are rotational hitters. Some actually have a hand path straight to...

    Is Hands/Knob to the ball Dead?

    And? Perhaps you should employ some reading comprehension and try again. Or at least try logic.

    Is Hands/Knob to the ball Dead?

    Pardon? You took an incorrect turn. That's about it.

    Is Hands/Knob to the ball Dead?

    There are very few good softball swings? Why?

    Is Hands/Knob to the ball Dead?

    That is not hands inside the ball. Not hands to the ball. A linear hand path has a slightly less open body at contact. The front arm is more bent as the knob/hands travel closer to the body in more of a line than an arc IMO, neither is right nor wrong, just depends on the batter. I do know...

    Is Hands/Knob to the ball Dead?

    Uh-huh. You mean like the coach who was asked to speak about hitting at the ABCA meeting this year? The same college coach who was invited to a couple of MLB clubs to go over his ideas about hitting? Or, perhaps the college softball coaches that promote a diversified hitting style so the batter...
