Bob Frey replied to John A. Baker's discussion Bouncing Pitch in the Dirt in the group Umpires
"I agree with all the answers below. The one thing I do not see mentioned in any of the posts is that regardless of where or when the ball hits the dirt, it remains a live ball. In situation 1, if the batter swings and makes contact, the ball is in…"

Pitchers Going to Their Mouth on the Bump

I coach in a league that plays under OBR, and one source of conflict I have with the other coaches and even our Umpires is the rule covering when and where a pitcher can go to thier mouth. My understanding of the rule (8.02(a)(1)) is that under normal conditions, the pitcher must be outside of the dirt circle (on a regulation grass infield) before going to his mouth to lick his fingers.

russell dean richardson replied to Bob Frey's discussion Help-League Title on the Line! in the group Umpires
"Ithink thefactthat there was one out is significant in that even if you honor the appeal at 1st which you should as long as the other runners touch their base, especially the guy coming home, youve got yourself a league champ."

Perry Lee Barber replied to Bob Frey's discussion Help-League Title on the Line! in the group Umpires
"Rule 7.04 of the OBR states: Two out, bases full, batter walks but runner from second... [overruns third base] and is tagged out on a throw by the catcher. Even though two are out, the run would score on the theory that the run was forced home by…"

Coach Ruben Corral replied to Bob Frey's discussion Help-League Title on the Line! in the group Umpires
"Jeff, I hear what you're saying, but rules apply in this game, and however technical they must be followed or taint the game itself. Shoddy coaching on the "winning" team's part for not knowing the game enough to instruct the…"

Jerome L. Hicks replied to Bob Frey's discussion Help-League Title on the Line! in the group Umpires
"in this case each runner must legeally advance to the next base or they are subject to being called out on appeal just like in this case here. Although they made the right call in calling the BR out it didn't matter. Now on the other hand had…"

Dakotah John Skilbred replied to Bob Frey's discussion Help-League Title on the Line! in the group Umpires
"the Umpire ruled correctly.....the Batter/runner is out for not going to first.....but that's only the 2nd out....Actually......it's a Dead-BAll situation...so the Runners should be sent back to their respective bases?!!"

Ken Williams replied to Bob Frey's discussion Help-League Title on the Line! in the group Umpires
"Two Outs, one run scores...Game Over. Under all rules (NFHS, NCAA, OBR) the ball is immediately dead when a batter is hit by a pitch. In this case, the umpire awarded the batter first base on the hit-by-pitch. With the bases loaded, all other…"
