Re: Pitcher Visits


Me too. And "reasonable" is what I say it is. A simple "coach,
visit's over. If you go back, that'll be another, OK" would cover it.

Now, if I can just get the league commissioner to stop huddling his
team between innings...buddy, huddles are that OTHER game.

Unless LL has a ruling to the contrary the visit ends when he leaves the dirt of the mound. That's assuming a grass infield, without it use yuor judgement. 5 ...

I think I'd still enforce it that way. As far as the actual area of the mound, I'd guess. That's what they always accuse us of doing anyway. Sometimes a WAG...
