    Throwing the bat.

    Yes, like did you enjoy the show? If you did nothing then it must have been nothing. Boiling because he went yard? Could his actions have caused a potential injury to anybody? If so and you did nothing shame on you. UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT.

    Offline throws

    Reason I say this atom splitters, Tuesday night, catcher steps in front of the plate, maybe 3 feet or less. Fast runner rounded 3rd, frozen rope comes in from LC fielder. Ball arrives split second as runner comes by who sees catcher about to catch ball. Ball caught, runner tagged in back of...

    Offline throws

    Yes just yes. They did NOT say impede. They said collide. Did you see them run towards the incoming throw NO YOU DIDNT!!! taking the word of the player does not mean you are always right. Common sense knows you can block a advancing runner. Once again...did you see throw? But if it's timing and...

    They never said impede. You didn't see the play. What if it was on point, timing was right and a catch and tag could have happened. Show me a rule that says, defense can't try to catch a thrown ball. Play some ball instead of reading a book. Especially when it comes to home plate. So....if...

    ASA Last night

    Tie????? And sounds to me like this umpire is on the take, an idiot, crack head... unless it's an all senior league senior bats not allowed. I think a UIC. and league director needs to meet on this.

    You have the right to go after a ball, as well as the runner has the right to their running lane. If you two collide a judgement call will need to be made. I do have to ask this, if the play is that close as mentioned you may want to try to save a run versus keeping a runner on second from...

    Batter's box

    Exactly... the ORIGINAL threads then number 3 insinuated like they didn't have enough "room" to swing. Simple statement.

    Batter's box

    He referred to his stance needing room. Plenty of room. Unless you know the game and have ball placement skills. Pitchers beware.

    Advance on foul ball

    No matter what association run counts. Good teams will yell out....let it fall. Runner can't tag up then that is dead ball.

    Is throwing overhand just an illegal pitch?

    The USA clearly states the rules of pitching. It doesn't mention an overhand fastball/baseball style. I would definitely call it unsportsmanlike conduct. I'm not going to drag you through the coals, but I have to ask why would you agree to be in a D class league with unlimited homeruns? Who...

    ASA Well, it finally happened - (where to start)?

    You are right, no matter how I order pants they all need alterations! They make us wear the Heather gray and powder blue shirts all weekend. Last weekend though we had almost all umpires with the new shirts, ballbags, hat. Only thing the one USA hat available at moment is wool cap. Very hot. But...

    Video recording

    If it's on the actual field any umpire should put an immediate stop to it as this is a safety concern then. We don't allow cell phones on the field with people taking selfies , etc. Let alone an actual video recording device.
