| Oct. 30, 2007 rsv79 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Dead ball? I'll chime in here, I'm an ASA umpire, and have been in this situation before. According to ASA rulebook, if the player is injured and in the umpire's opinion requires immediate attention, the umpire should call dead ball, and award any bases that should have been awarded had the umpire not called time out. (Rule 4-Section 10) This applies to all runners. Now I don't know how hard the ball hit the player's head, or if the player went down and didn't move, but looks like the player crawled to the base like you said. If I had been umpiring, I would have called a delayed dead ball, thus, giving the player time to reach the bag safely. |
