Kyle, I Agree with Bruce, BUT, getting the call right is paramount. If you are sure that the Batter Runner is out of the box and makes contact with he ball....
You guys are correct, I was wrong. It's not the same call. BUT, I'm envisioning a situation, albiet quite third world, where the PU either gets completely...
Would you also provide info on a check swing without being asked. I see no difference here. SOOB is purely a PU call. Anything else is purely poor mechanics. ...
Remember in this year's LLBB World Series, a big hitter from one of the US teams was being intentionally walked. He reached WAAYY across the plate and hit a...
What is has to do with is areas of responsibilities. The PU is responsible for all calls at, and around home plate [except when they rotate to a base]. Base...
While I agree with the fact that we get the call right, I still think it's impossible to see if the batter is out of the box from 70 - 110 feet away. Lines...
I thought we were supposed to call "Time", and let the PU decided if he was in the box or not. How can the BU tell if the batter was in the box from that far...
A member and instructor in my association, NBUA, Mike Muchlinski is an AAA umpire and one of the few on the list to fill in at MLB games. He was U1 yesterday...
I forgot to mention in my previous post that just killing the play and waiting for the PU to decide foul or out use to be the mechanic many were teaching....
I have had the catcher move up, and in as the batter swings (blocking my view). Then had the batter hit the ball that I could not see go down, and then hit...
It's not really a tough call. If you see a batted ball stike the batter and you are not 100% absolutly sure he was out of the box, you just wait a few seconds...
didn't see it but if angel was involved anything - including the newapaper's version - could have happened. ... From: "Ed Wiggins" <ewiggins11@...> ...
Very true. One of our district umpires who has since passed on without thinking yelled "hit in in the box" on a play like this, batter turns to her and said,...
I'm handicapped on this.... I was right-handed catcher for eight years. There isn't a chance that I am retraining my brain for that one. ... persuaded that ......
Interesting end to the Padre game today. R1 two outs, ground ball between first and second, F4 makes nice play far out on the outfield grass, throw to F3 pulls...
Sure, now I have to go back to rethinking this. ... From: "Alex Pufhal" <alexpufhal@...> To: <llumpires@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, October 01, 2006...
I have and was like OPPS. I ran this buy an NCAA D1 Softball umpire and he said that as bad as it sounds NOBODY takes it the wrong way. I guess not everyone is...
Ys, I should have said TIME instead of FOUL BALL. Good point. Bruce ... ============= I thought we were supposed to call "Time", and let the PU decided if he...
Dave, I change HIM to HER where appropriate, of course. :) Bruce ... ============= careful making that call in a girls softball game, though. ... From: Bruce...
