Yes... it would be a 2 base award from time of pitch. A fair batted ball that leaves the playing field after touching the ground.

Oh... so I can use those super sticky football receiving gloves? Good to know.

All the catchers that wear All Star mitts do too...

This is memorabilia and really a fielding glove.

I believe that it is a tangle/untangle situation.

Yep... that is a 4 base error.

I agree with you 100%

When a league or organization makes it a point of emphasis then you have to do it.

What about the runner who is off the base holding the ball? It prevents the defense from making a play on him.

Runner is out for interference... for picking up and throwing a live ball.

No you can't

Because 5 games will cover everything that they will need to know. I know guy that have umpired for 25 years who still think that live ball appeals are force plays.

And, correct me if I'm wrong but, isn't the batter out if they refuse to take the base that they are awarded?

Now... I'm not sure if it is different from baseball but if the run scores and the Batter Runner reaches first then we have a ball game, if play doesn't continue. The ending of the Reds Dbacks game earlier this year is an example.

Well with the way that it is written, if the fielder can demonstrate a voluntary release ONLY is could also be determined a catch. This is going tl be far fetched but hear me out... Say a player is juggling the ball as they move towards dead ball territory. They then throw the ball backwards...

The biggest problem with this is the "and/or" in the rule... I know the baseball OBR only says "and" when it comes to the voluntarily release. I think the "and/or" adds an unnecessary grey area into the rule.

When I did baseball... my mask would come off, I got out from behind the plate and held my strike signal until someone realized something was up.

That is when you just calmly say, "We will be playing this game under protest." And move along.

My wife told me that I could either play softball or coach baseball... I decided to coach and actually make money.
