Everyone in the park knew it was a foul ball except for the 2 people that mattered most....... The 2 umpiring the game. Yes that's right they both said it was a fair ball.

Either they weren't nominated by their coaches or if they were, they weren't available to play

One question....

 

Bases Loaded, 1 out, infield fly situation, batter pops up foul towards the 1st base dugout, Nothing is ever said by the umpire, ball is blown back fair by a very strong wind and lands just inside fair territory, ball was not caught due to the wind...runners take off and runner is tagged at home....double play....

 

I understand that the runner took off at his own risk, but is it part of the umpire's mechanics to declare "infield fly, the batter is out"  or is the signal for infield fly the only real mechanic needed?

An infield fly that is clearly in the infield is called for the protection of the runner. No verbal called is required. Coaches and runners should know the situation. 

Knowing the situation is not the only answer.  Yes - no verbal is required, but why wouldn't an umpire use the verbal mechanic?  The reason I say this is, there is still a measure of judgement to an infield fly.  It is an infield fly when "in the judgement" of the umpire that the pop up can be caught with ordinary effort, he has to judge this, not the coaches and runners.  In other words, not every pop up to the infield is an infield fly.  Knowing the sitch can be easy, but wondering if the umpires judgement is the same as yours....not so easy.

Coach goes out to talk with his pitcher.  He tosses a ball to his SS so he can throw to loosen up his arm.  When visit is over the SS throws ball to bench.   Allowed or Not -Allowed......     If not allowed why and by what rule.

I have never seen a specific rule. If I am behind the plate I may not let the conference go as long as I regularly would. There is also a rule, not quite sure of the number but maybe 10-6 that says an umpire has the right to rule on anything not specifically noted in the rule book.

If a runner leaves early on a steal attempt, can a move be made to the base the runner is trying to steal without first disengaging the rubber. I think there is a rule that states as long as a play is being made you can do this even though the base the runner is stealing is unoccupied.

The pitcher would have to step of the back in that case. If he just spins around on the rubber it is a balk which is different from a straight pickoff throw to second. 

why would that be a balk?

 

ART. 4 . . . Balk. If there is a runner or runners, any of the following acts by a

pitcher while he is touching the pitcher’s plate is a balk:

a. any feinting toward the batter or first base, or any dropping of the ball

(even though accidental) and the ball does not cross a foul line (6-1-4);

b. failing to step with the non-pivot foot directly toward a base (occupied or

unoccupied) when throwing or feinting there in an attempt to put out, or

drive back a runner; or throwing or feinting to any unoccupied base when

it is not an attempt to put out or drive back a runner

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.

      Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
