OK. That's the way I was leaning. The ump counted the run in this game. Thanks!

I only ump slow pitch, so never had to deal with this. My buddy is at his kid's game and asked me this. Dropped third...runner from 3rd scores before getting the batter runner out at 1st. Does the run count? I see in my book that they become a batter runner when the catcher fails to...

Just the way I was reading it. It was perfectly clear.:sad6:

OK, I gotcha. Thanks!

I'm confused. It seems like you're saying two things. Is it dead or play on?

1st runner scores and heads toward his own 1st base dugout. Next runner coming home, throw ricochets off the brick backstop and hits first runner in the foot - he's still jogging toward the dugout, not looking toward the ricocheted ball. Ball continues up the line a bit and now past the on...

I can understand and accept an umpire being wrong, but I cannot understand nor accept an umpire refusing to be wrong. When I'm wrong it's a learning opportunity for everyone.

It's gotta be a do-over. :p

Yeah, I usually wait for the pitcher, but it's like pornography - you know it when you see it. If the pitcher and another fielder are going back and forth, I wait. You know who the captains or leaders of the team are. You wait until they agree.

Remember it a "safety" bag and it's for safety's sake that they are "switching" sides. If, in this situation, you require 1B to still use the white portion, you may be creating a potential collision.

Anywhere from $18 - $25, which is fair. What is a little disheartening is the socialist mentality of it all - I bust my butt and am regularly complemented ("Nice hustle, Blue" "How'd you get all the way out here?") and get paid the same amount as the guy that makes a call at 2nd base from...

Yeah, sounds like 2 bases to me. If it hit the tree first, by your admission, it's foul. But since it hit you first, in fair territory, it can't be foul.

In whiffle ball we always played it out of the tree - live ball, if you catch it, it's an out. That's the best I can for you.

Agreed. Sounds like we're on the same page.

Huh? I can't imagine how this rule would/could be put down in print.
