Oct. 6, 2014 Webbie25 Men's 70 2410 posts | When there is no double bag at first This happened at Boulder City this weekend. We had no double bag and so we were required to MISS the bag and step where the orange bag should have been. Why??? It is totally counter-intuitive. Why not just play the game the way it had been played for so many years before the orange bag? I saw numerous people, including myself, called out for touching the bag. The safety bag is great, but in the rare cases where one is not available, we are big boys and can handle playing the game the 'old fashioned way'. If that is not acceptable, then why not get some orange chalk and chalk in an orange square where the bag should be so when the batter/runner is headed to first it will serve as a reminder NOT to touch the bag? Thanks. |
