Ask MrUmp1 your rules question.


Recommended Posts

A&M vs LSU yesterday.  Play at 3rd missed original tag.  Runner dives to base and puts the oven mitt in the middle of the base.  3rd baseman dives to tag him and pushes his hand off the base.  Called safe then out when his hand came off the base. 
 

They did review it, but I don’t believe that is reviewable and stuck with the out call.  What’s the rule?  It’s just umpires judgement and we get screwed when he pushed the A&M guy off the base?  Oven mitts are stupid btw

Wasn't watching at the time but Duke while utilizing the Durham Bull's facility had a power outage delaying a conference game.  Leads me to a general question but not a specific game situation as I have only seen or been part of power outages during dead ball situations.  How would an official handle a power outage during a nightgame of course that occurs while a ball is in play. I'm thinking of a ball against the outfield wall with runners on or a lazy fly ball and lights go out leading to it not being caught...these are 2 very different situations in that one was offensive advantage and the other defensive advantage at the time of power loss.  

Going to take a shot here and speculate it would be treated as though the pitch never occurred, buy could also see umpires discretion to determine runners placement or out call on fly ball.

Guy steals 3rd , catcher over throws the bag runner goes home to score. Umpire says he interfered with the throw from the catcher.  What's the ruling? 

Batter is out and the runner must retuen to the base occupied at the time of the pitch

I would say the whole play would be nullified and would start back before light prob

Question wasn’t worded clearly.  I thought he meant batter as well.  The ump is part of the field.  If the ump gets in the way, then too bad.  Nothing happens.  

You can have umpire interference in that situation.  Umpire is part of the field is a common comment that is not true.  If a batted ball ball hits an umpire before a fielder has a chance then it is a dead ball.  Batter would be awarded 1st base and any other runners would be advanced one base from where they were at time of pitch.

No need to look it up.  I will correct one aspect that I mis-stated.   If Umpire is hit by a batted ball prior to an infielder having an opportunity it is a dead ball.  Runners will move up one base from time of pitch , IF FORCED TO MOVE UP.

Umpires are not part of the field.  Fields were not built with the field, much like hands are not part of the bat.  Bats were not created with hands attached.

You might want to upgrade your rule book.

my rule book is fine.

I was just pointing out that you had the rule wrong and by your own admission you agreed with me.

I have a question on scorebook keeping. I hope this is an appropriate place to ask.

Runners on 1st and 2nd, No outs, a blooper is hit to shallow left field, runners don't get a good jump and the Left Fielder is able to field the ball and throw the runner from 2nd base out at 3rd for a force out.

Batter is safe at first, runner from 1st is safe at 2nd base. 

Should this be ruled a Fielder's Choice or a Hit for the batter? 

 

Appreciate any comments, thoughts, etc on this

Hit for the batter, imo.

    • That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol. 
    • I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.  
    • I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet. 
    • They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
