Well, I might just infer that this base coach's action was intended to hinder the play at the plate. Think about it: R1 and R3, and a fly ball down the left...
That's a pretty good summary as I understand things. BTW, bench restriction is a State Option.... In Florida we don't have the option, so anything (such as 2nd...
I like this guy... Think I might get to see him in the play-offs? What school? Maybe I can use your name if I have to let him go?? ... adopt. At times,...
FL does follow NFHS rules. There are certain rules that may be adopted by local option. Some other local option rules for SB (I think - since I'm only ...
I would guess that if LL does ever put in the Admin Removal option they would eventually address that situation. After all, what happens re: MPR if a kid is...
Agree. Ejecting a kid who hasn't met MPR during tourney play is not a violation. In fact, he'd miss MPR for the next game while he sat his suspension. Can't...

A invitation to all list members in New England, or I suppose the Eastern Region for anyone who wants to travel. The State of Maine Umpire Clinic is scheduled...
Manny: OK, I'm going to bite on this one. You'd have an AR for a batter who lets the bat fly but you wouldn't apply that to a pitcher who is drilling batter...
Pitchers hit batters all the time. It's part of the game. Why should I invoke any punishment on a pitcher who plunks a kid in the first inning, hits another...
Living in Virginia, I certainly can't answer any questions regarding CA high schools. But I don't know of too many high school coaches who would allow their...
If you mean "on the roster" but not playing in both, sure. If you mean *playing* in both leagues, California HS rules prohibit a player from playing other...
Did the Evans BRA give any examples of the "in any manner" referenced in the statement "This may be allowed if the coach does not interfere with the play in...

I would go back to the old This Week in Baseball video where someone tried to blow on the baseball. I think they let that one go. On the other hand... A FOUL...
