House rules can get you in to trouble when situations create loopholes. For instance, our LL Minors division uses a machine after the 3rd walk in an inning and after ball 4 when the bases are loaded. However, what if ball 4 gets away from the catcher and the runner on 3rd steals home? I would think the ball should be live since it does not force in the run. This is how our umpire ruled it and of course the coaches from each team had their own opinion.
How do you think this should be handled? What other house rules have you seen that break the game?
