Wait, let me rethink this.......Are you a manager TOO???? Sounds like a rat. ... From: Brent S. Smithline <brentdist4@...> To: llumpires@yahoogroups.com...
You know Brent, it's because of stubborness and lack of training like this, that is causing me to remove my name from the posts. Thanks a bunch. ... From:...
I'll take compliments any time one's offered, but I really haven't been all that involved in this discussion - just one post supporting Rich's position. But I...
To be fair, I will acknowledge that someone I know who is a minor league umpire and has very recently gone through PBUC says his training made no such...
Clay; I have to disagree with you that the rules, and regulations do not state that a play in uniform must play. Regular season | Regulation IV-The Players (i)...
I've e-mailed Andy on this. Let's see what he comes up with. You're mixing apples and oranges, Brent. You can't use the definition for dugout to defend a...
... like a rat. ... That was COMPLETELY unnecessary. Though I agree he is being stubborn on this on, that is no excuse to stoop to namecalling. Shame. Rita...
Dave, No, it doesn't prevent interference from being called. One involves a throw to a base and the other involves a play at the plate. Different rule ... LL...
The instructor's comments say it all. It really seems you are purposefully not seeing the answer everyone has given to you. Only rostered players are allowed...
Will; As far as the ejected player goes this is a risk management question. Both the local leagues stance on the issue, and what I have read from Little ...
But there's the problem. Why should I tell you if I'm not going to play Johnny? I have a rule that protects me if Johnny even shows up one pitch late. I may...
Once again LL has taken the long way around to address a perceived problem and now face unintended consequences. They could have simply stated that a player...
Brent Here are a couple you missed: 3.17 – Players and Substitutes shall sit on their teams bench or in the dugout unless participating in the game or...
A play did happen last year in MLB. Padres Dodgers, Agust 21, WP gets a way from catcher towards third base dugout. RH batter backs out of box the same way....
When the catcher asks for an intentional walk on the batter, does the ball need to be live or does it matter since in granting the request and waving the...
LL Majors. Continued game, two weeks later. Tie game, and the game was suspended after six. Home teams pitcher throws 85 pitches. Home team bats in the bottom...
... Cute - pitch 85 gets the third out in top 6 and the game suspends as a tie before the 7th starts. Home argument - I don't have to replace him until we're...
I think he's done! Since I believe the pitch count states the pitcher's maximum pitch count is 85 pitches in a game (unless he needs throw more to complete the...
Protest committee hat on ... Didn't we discuss that defensive changes happen at the beginning of the NEXT defensive inning (according to the Wizard of...
He is still the pitcher of record and had not been replaced yet. The rule says the pitcher of record can continue to pitch if he has the proper rest. Obviously...
Just go to note 3, "In suspended games resumed on another day, the pitchers of record at the time the game was halted may continue to pitch to thier...
"may continue to pitch to their eligibility for that day" (meaning the day of the original game)... Pitcher had completed his eligilibility for that game........
I've been through this one with Southern Region, and Steve's statement is correct. The 85 pitches is a limit per DAY not per GAME. Kevin Hunter District UIC ...
It also eliminates the practice of the offensive manager giving you three or four substitutions at the beginning of the inning. Your particular wording would...
