March 1, 2026 Randall	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Run scores? Thank you very much Mr. Dowell. I can now print this and try to alleviate the sniveling!
Feb. 27, 2026 Randall	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Run scores? There are R1 and R2 on base with one out. Batter hits a fly ball. R2 tags up legally. R1 leaves base before ball is legally caught. R1 realizes that he needs to return to 1st base. R2 scores before R1 is put out at 1st base. I ruled that R2 scored because R1 was not forced out at 1B and that R2 scored before R1 was put out at first base. Is this ruling correct?
Feb. 8, 2026 Randall	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Interpretation I don’t mean any hardships, but with the aging population of players we have, strange things continue to happen. I truly appreciate all of the input you have shared. It makes our league a better organization!
Feb. 8, 2026 Randall	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Interpretation BR runs to first base safely. He yells courtesy runner and goes into the dugout. No courtesy runner goes to 1B. Defensive team before a pitch is thrown says the BR is out for going into the dugout. Is he out?
Feb. 4, 2026 Randall	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Safe or out Thank you
Feb. 3, 2026 Randall	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Safe or out Thank you. I couldn’t find my answer in the rule book.
Feb. 3, 2026 Randall	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Safe or out Lead off batter hits a double and is situated in second base. The next batter hits a ground ball to F5. F5 sees R2 leave second base and advance towards 3B. R2 heads back to 2B, F5 throws the ball to F4 who is covering 2B. R2 gets back to 2B but steps on the foot of F4 who tags R2 after R2 is on the foot of F4. Umpire rules that R2 is out because he didn’t touch the base as he was on the foot of F4. Is F4’s foot part of the base? Thank you
Jan. 30, 2026 Randall	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Courtesy runners Batter runner ends up at 2nd base. A batter 8 down goes in to be a courtesy runner. He ends up scoring and takes his turn at bat. He gets a hit. Can he have a courtesy runner come in for him?
Jan. 11, 2026 Randall	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Fair or foul Thank you for answering. My 1.24 was a typo.
Jan. 11, 2026 Randall	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Fair or foul Yesterday in a game a batter hit a bloop fly ball over the first baseman’s head. The fielder ran back to catch the ball. The fielder made contact with the ball with his glove while the ball was in foul territory. However while attempting to make the catch he knocked the ball up in the air with his glove and the ball landed in in fair territory for the balls first contact with the ground. I looked at rules 1.22 and 1.24 and am still confused. Please help
Nov. 19, 2025 Randall	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: What is the ruling Thank you so much for this clarification
Nov. 17, 2025 Randall	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: What is the ruling Dave, when you say discovered/appealed, can the play be appealed after a pitch or multiple pitches have been thrown? Thank you

Nov. 15, 2025 Randall	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: What is the ruling There were no outs until R2 was thrown out at home
Nov. 15, 2025 Randall	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: What is the ruling We had a situation where the BR got a base hit. R2 was thrown out at home BR went to the bench for some unknown reason. No one recognized this and the next batter hit a pitch to the second baseman, who looked to throw to 2B but there was no base runner approaching 2B because he had gone to the bench. The second baseman did then throw to 1B and got the out. We know that the BR who went to the bench was out, even though it wasn’t declared as an out at that time. What would happen if the second baseman would have thrown to 2B with no runner going to 2B and because of that the return throw to 1B was not in time? Thank you
Nov. 4, 2025 Randall	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Dragging pivot foot Thank you B.J.
Nov. 3, 2025 Randall	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Dragging pivot foot Rule 6.6E talks about a legal delivery if the pivot foot remains in the pitchers box during release of the pitch. Can this pivot foot drag while in the pitchers box. Is the pivot foot no longer a pivot foot if it is dragged? Please consider that all other elements of the pitch appear to be legal. Thank you.
Sept. 29, 2025 Randall	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Infield fly rule I thank you for your discussions. Is there a way that I could read Donna McGuires writings concerning this matter?
Sept. 17, 2025 Randall	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Infield fly rule Should the ability of players be taken into accounts when the umpire calls the infield fly rule. I know that the rule should be called if in the umpires judgment, the ball could have been caught with ordinary effort. However a 60 year age level team has a much better chance of catching fly balls than does a 75 year old team. I appreciate your responses. Thank you
