| June 21, 2024 Michael Plunkett | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Underhanded pitch Thank you Donna, have seem the rule but administration of the rule seems to be very subjective and almost arbitrary as the same pitcher can pitch tournament after tournament with out issue and out of no wear an ump will call him as illegal. It’s very frustrating for the pitcher as he believes he’s legal … until he’s not! So questioning the ump about a judgment call, the pitcher and coach needs to live with the idea sometimes he’s going to be legal and sometimes he’s not. Also because it’s a judgement call there is no appeal to the rule book. Your thoughts on, not on the rule, but administration thereof might be helpful as pitcher has been removed from a game for questioning umpire’s illegal call. |
| June 19, 2024 Michael Plunkett | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Underhanded pitch I was looking for definition of what is underhanded. It seems it’s up to the umpire. If an umpire calls it illegal because it’s too side-arm there is no point questioning the umpire as it’s “in the eye of the beholder” from what I can find if 20 umpires call it legal and one umpire calls it illegal makes no difference. It’s pure judgement without regard to precedent and/or yesterday’s umpire. It’s no difference than calling a runner out or save at first. Each single umpire judgement. we have a tournment pitcher who has pitched for ten years that has never been called for too side-arm except by one specific umpire lately. Donna, If I understand correctly I have no recourse. |

| Jan. 11, 2023 Michael Plunkett | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 1st Base force out Thank you Dave, didn’t see message intertwined among that “supposed” umpire call at first base. Find it hard to believe any ump would really make that call. If she/he did I bet it’s last time that mistake would be made. |

| Oct. 19, 2022 Michael Plunkett | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Age breakdowns going forward Dave, I just had a player tell me that SSUSA rules were just changed to all 70 teams to have two underage. I don’t believe this has happened. I believe it will come up in yearly meeting but that the player is wrong as of this date and time. Would you speak to that please. |
