You're applying OBR and LL to a game played under different rules. There is no A or B obstruction. There's only obstruction. And since it's Team USA, they...
I think they were playing ASA rules, because eveything around the field said ASA and I believe PU had an ASA shirt on. Anyway, even if there was OBS, the...
I was reading the ncaa sb book and it said that you would lose protection if you attempted to advance to the base passed where you were protected. Maybe this...
I think it depends on what each site offers. I've always had housing, very little in the way of food unless it's from the concession stand, ER MSB gave me one...
It's natural to get nervous but the games are basically broken into two groups. The one group that has teams that think they've got a chance to advance to the...
I worked plate for a BLSB Divisional game yesterday. Visitors jump on home team in top of 1st and game is intense. With R3, this occurred about 4 or 5 times...
The question concerns adults warming-up players. I had a gentlemanly difference of opinion today with a friend of mine whom I respect. My district is hosting...
I agree with you. I see no violation of 3.09. He is one of the three coaches allowed to get the kids ready to play. He's not warming up the pitcher. And...
Nick, I disagree he is acting in the capacity of a player. Bob ... From: "Nick Haluschak" <nickdist4@...> To: <llumpires@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday,...
I agree with you and do not see this as a violation as long as the adult catcher is not throwing back. I have had this happen on many occasions and allow it. ...
I agree with you and have always enforced it like that when I was PU. If I was BU, I always bowed to what my partner thought on the matter. Dan ... From: "Nick...
... Bob, what is he doing that's violating any rule? He's obviously not warming up a pitcher. There is no rule that says an adult may not act in the capacity...
"Gee, Coach, can't you arrange for a player to handle those chores? It's really the way we'd rather have it done, you know, the game is for the kids and...
As ridiculous as it may be, we've been told by ER that coaches aren't even supposed to be playing catch with someone, even if it's not warming up a pitcher. ...
Nick, I have to agree with Bruce. I see no 3.09 violation. Most of the time you see a player without a helmet, so that gets corrected right away. The few...
I agree with no adult even playing catch with a player at a LL "event". When pressed to prove this prohibition, we remind the offending adult that the rules...
Nick, You are right on. No where do the rules say that a coach can't coach. 3.09 is about warming up a pitcher. Unless there is a pitcher throwing to the ...

How about if a coach just catches the balls from the kids ineligible to pitch that day, and lets the other ones go?...
ER has repeatedly said managers and coaches can't catch infield. I know 3.09 only talks about pitchers but that's what they've told us, so we don't allow it. ...

I have one league that does this all the time. While I would prefer a player I have not said anything. The question I have; What if the coach was at first,...
