Topic: Bats
Discussion: are there significant difference in 1.20 bats

One of the leagues in my community has a rule that the teams must use the 1.20 BPF bats provided by the recreation department.

In a casual discussion at a clinic I asked why that was since a lot of guys would like to use their own bat. The reason given by several was that it keeps everyone on a level playing field.

My response was to ask "isn't a 1.20 BPF bat always a 1.20 and thus equal no matter who makes it?"

What say you?

Discussion: interference or not

well to play devils advocate....the runner did avoid the fielder by coming to a complete stop prior to the base in the base path. Not sure how this would confuse the defensive player.

What should the runner have done?

Runner on 1B. Ball is hit to the infield for a play at 2B and possible double play opportunity.

The runner coming from 1B runs straight toward 2B. The fielder makes the catch and force at 2B. The runner continues straight toward 2B and comes to a stop about 2 feet from the base (no hand waving or etc but he stands straight up). The fielder must move off 2B to make the throw to 1B (or throw over the head of the runner).

Intentional interference or not? I have my opinion but want to hear others.
