The problem I have with it is the fact that the home plate umpire overruled the third base umpire without consulting him. I talked to the ump at third to understand what the facts were. We always talk in our pregame that if something happens out of the ordinary and there is any question, all four of us will come together and discuss and make a call. In the series I was calling in last night we actually did that and they play was reversed since the ump that maid a call was blocked from seeing the ball that had come out of the first baseman's glove.

From what I have read, it is at the umpires discretion to determine if another base should be awarded.  The play last night, the ball never left the infield and the runner would slide into 3rd anyways expecting a throw.  

The rule’s purpose is to prevent fielders from forcing a slide when it’s not needed.  For instance a runner at 1st being deaked into sliding at 2nd on a hit when he could have reached 3rd without the fake tag.  

 

Maybe I’m reading this wrong and Mr Ump can correct me, but IMO the obstruction call was incorrect.  

I agree with your interpretation of the rule. Since I was not there I can not comment on what was ruled. 

I am with you on that it will take a couple of years to get things on track. 

The man has a plan. Sounds like they hired someone who will install a system if the kids buy into will be successful. Would not be surprised if this leads to a new football stadium. 

Kirbyville vs New Waverly

Thursday 6pm Kirbyville

Friday 6 pm New Waverly

Saturday 3 pm Lufkin Morris Frank  (if needed)

If it is not a split crew, schools either agree on a neutral chapter to assign umpires or they contact the uil who will then contact a chapter to assign umpires. The cost of neutral crews is much more because of travel. 

Charged Conference, you get three mound visits per 7 innings, it does not count as a charged conference when you make a pitching change. 

Stopped in Nederland Colorado once, was snowing good that day. Nice place up on a mountain.

Being a baseball guy I know this also helps both of these schools in baseball. 

If they go to one high school, IF, I think the Maroon and Gold theme is good and would go for Leopards as the mascot. Gold Leopard with Maroon spots.

Watered down or not the UIL is saying..... Show me the money Jerry!!!! Show me the money!!!

As you know Guido is out doing some collections. So I used a cousin of mine who is kinda like Jimmy the Greek, he is Alphonse the Coonass. 

I went ahead and tried to predict tonight's outcomes to project the bracket. Key word in this is TRY. Just haven't used my crystal ball lately.. Still a little cloudy from the flood waters.

I think you need a new keyboard, looks like your caps lock keeps sticking.

Burkeville vs Huntington

It was 2010 when Royal beat WOS in a playoff game so I really do not understand all this revenge talk. Players today were in elementary school when that game took place. Has to be much more current to even speak about revenge.
