Scott makes several good points in his note. However, the one I want to address is... The PU (or any umpire having a situation) making some kind of call. ...
NO... mostly. A Bat or Batter hit by a batted ball is an ACCEPTABLE call by the BU if discussed in the parking lot prior to the game. However... it's...
I would be very carefull in the hand sign you use for "Let's Talk". Use NOTHING that a manager or coach can pick up on as you rebuking your partner for a...
Let me clarify my previous note. If the Pitcher STARTS, then STOPS, then completely RESTARTS. This is a Balk / Illegal Pitch. If the Pitcher STARTS, then...
Tony, It's usually a Bat Grin........ and a nod of the head! LOL Barry CA D62 ... From: anthonystockfish [mailto:t3dfish@...] Sent: Wednesday, July 01,...
Following your interpretation, would you allow a LHP with R1 leading off (90' game) to lift his free foot and STOP all motion? If the LHP lifts his free foot...
Well, there have been some very nice 'Feedback' remarks from several folks about our WR "Junior Umpire Training Program" (JUTS). I thought I'd provide some...
Tony, I'm sorry if I misled you. My remarks were for Majors and Minors only. Senior Division is BY THE BOOK. If a pitcher in Sr. Div has a 'Leg Kick'...
... Very interesting, but it would have helped if Andy K. had put that in official print. Since he did not, all I can go with is his last official word (Andy...
Batman, With your information it seems as though this may cost me a steak dinner, more importantly I want to get it right. First is there anyway you can find...
It is also a disadvantage to the pitcher. Not only is it putting more stress on the arm, but he is losing a lot of velocity in the pitch by stopping at the...
As much as I respect Batman, I'm going with Andy on this one. I understand Andy's reasoning but I feel the pitchers will learn faster with the call. Rita...
Unfortunately Andy did not always codify these type of rulings. However they were picked up and taught through out Little League. They are accepted on the same...
Not trying to sound like a "bad" guy, but the umpires who stood up the school this year were the same exact umpires who had the 33-18, 4:10 slugfest! To me...
No argument intended, but you know as well as me, that there are numerous rules that are interpreted differently than written. I personally agree that the...
Before either of you sharpen the steak knives, let me check with the WR UIC for his take. The chances of me finding that e-mail are slim and none. Also,...

Yes, players, managers, and coaches can be replaced. However, once a player has been replaced, it is permanent for the rest of the tournament. If the player is...
The number of coaches is determined at the game - not from the number of players on the roster. If you have 12 eligible players at the game, then the team...
Hello All, I had a good one tonight.? 1st and 2nd no out,? Pass ball runner on second goes half way to third,?stops returns back to second.? R1runs all the way...

... Understood and agree. However, without seeing this "interpretation" it is not possible to apply it. I honestly have never heard of this interpretation...
