| July 29, 2010 stick8 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Illegal swing of the bat Thunderstruck21, as long as you take a full swing what does it matter where your hands are on the bat? |
| July 29, 2010 stick8 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Slide or give up Jetboy, as an ump I'd have to see the play. From what you say he was out but did he crash into you running at full speed? Did he try and avoid hitting you but couldn't slow up and stop in time? Did he throw his arms up covering his face to avoid being hit? Did he intentionally try to spike the ball out of your glove with his hand? I'm not certain about SSUSA but in USSSA there is no specific rule that says you must slide or give yourself up. It only says runners cannot intentionally interfere and crash into a fielder. |
| July 28, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Just curious.... For me it would be not hit any hr's and win |
| July 27, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: nature of bat cheating... While we can all suspect players of using shaved bats the only way to accurately determine if someone is using a shaved bat is to cut the bat open and examine the inside walls. |
| July 14, 2010 stick8 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: What's the Call UMPS???????? Fair ball. In your scenario it depends on where the ball stops. If the catcher happened to touch it in fair territory it's a fair ball. |
| July 13, 2010 stick8 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Stick8 you guys coming to LVSSA? Joe, it was on our original schedule but since the date was switched I can't be 100% certain either way. I'll be in Dalton this weekend and I'll find out more. Who are you running with this year? |
| July 9, 2010 stick8 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: umpire interference KEP that is absolutely wrong!! The umpire is part of the field. In that situation it's the result of the play. I've never heard of "umpire interference". If the runner ran into the firstbaseman and then continued to second base then you have interference. |
| July 9, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: rules question Webbie I vaguely recall that as a kid but I can't believe anyone would allow adults to do that anywhere--even in a low level recreation weeknight league. If you can't run or even walk to first base stay home. |
| July 8, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Five run equalizer 3-2 count was designed to speed the game up but in reality it didn't. When I played major ball it was 3-2 no foul to waste. One would think that would be an even faster game. Reality was we still had mostly 2-21/2 hour games. |
| July 8, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: rules question Terryspears as I read it that rule would apply in the following scenarios: 1)that courtesy runner is not on the roster 2)that courtesy runner was previously ejected from the game 3)that courtesy runner had already ran for someone earlier in the inning 4)that courtesy runners turn to bat is up and he's on base. |
| July 8, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: rules question Webbie, if rules were such as to permit what your saying that opens the door for allowing a runner to stand next to home plate and run to first base after the batter gets a base hit. As Clint Eastwood said in "Heartbreak Ridge", it's a cluster----. If a player doesn't have it in them to walk or jog 65 ft after a base on balls then how are they going to be able to run 65 ft after hitting a ground ball? |
| July 7, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: rules question Red57bird did that really happen? That's unbelievable. In the situation you describe the ruling as i understand it would be an out. The original courtesy runner wouldn't be able to run for anyone else again that inning. As In understand it the batter who was issued the walk must touch first base before a courtesy runner can be used. |
| July 7, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Five run equalizer Joe, sounds like a big hassle. I suppose change in rules can be initially met with resistance, especially when folks are used to certain rules. I vividly recall when USSSA went from a 4-3 to a 3-2 count one would have thought the softball world was going to end with all the complaining about it. |
| July 7, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Five run equalizer Joe hope all is well with you and yours. Just out of curiosity could you have waited until a couple of weeks before the event to cancel? Is it true the LVSSA 50+ major plus has been moved to Labor Day weekend? |
| July 7, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Five run equalizer Dave, you never know where I'll show up. I would certainly hope wacky isn't on the agenda. |
| July 7, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Five run equalizer Dirty, just for the fun of it I'd love to sit in on the rules committee meeting. I'd wager certain members bring up the wackiest ideas intended to make the game more "fair"----retarded. |
| July 7, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Five run equalizer Or hitting to right field is out! |
| July 7, 2010 stick8 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Five run equalizer "How do proud men accept what is nothing more than a handout because they aren't as good, through no fault of the team doing the handing?" Dirty this is something I've never understood. While I can understand applying the home run limit of the lower level team, as far as runs are concerned it should be my team against theirs --straight up. Next thing you know they'll propose giving lower level teams 4 outs an inning or higher level teams only 2 outs an inning. Totally retarded. |
| June 30, 2010 stick8 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: scorekeeping error Thanks Webbie25. It's really not rocket science to make sure everything is right. You certainly don't want have a team get screwed out of a run which could end up being the tying or deciding run, especially in a tournament where a team has spent money traveling. As a player I sure like to know if my team is up or down and by how many runs. |
| June 28, 2010 stick8 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: scorekeeping error Dud, in this scenario you have to go with the designated official scorekeeper. I suppose this would be protestable but I'm not certain how it would turn out. As an ump I always make sure the score is agreed upon by both teams after every inning. It avoids a situation as you described. In the event of a disagreement I get the scorekeepers for both teams together to go over the scoring. It's usually resolved in a matter of a minute or two. The main thing is to get it right. |
