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

All of the players that was nominated by their coach and is available will be on the roster to play. TASO does not exclude any player that was nominated

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

    • I’ve stated over and over that I don’t think that the hush money trial has merit. I also don’t think that the fraud/appraisals case in NYC had merit, either. I think that the evidence in the Election Tampering case down in Georgia is pretty damning, and the case about mishandling documents down in Florida is a real problem for Trump… because that’s what intelligent people do-look at the facts make sound decisions not based on their pwecious feewings.  You know, just saying “Bah! It’s all a bunch of lies because I love him!” Or “of course he did it! I hate him.” But thought processes are something most people are incapable of. They only manage to scroll social media for posts that validate their own opinions and them off as truth or fact when they are just outright lies… but they make the re-poster feel good inside so he believes them without question.    Every time I soundly refute the  idea that trump was good for the economy, y’all yell “but COVID!” His tax cuts provided a short term bubble in the economy by way of an exploding deficit and debt that our grandkids will still be paying interest upon 50 years from now even prior to COVID.  It’s like when Mama takes over the family finances, maxes out all of the credit cards and drives the family into bankruptcy.  Y’all would be the spoiled brat, immature and stupid children that spout off “things were so much better when Mom was handling the finances! We had everything we wanted! Put her back in charge!” Anybody that says “Trump was good for the economy” is just letting they world known that they don’t understand micro/macro economics or the effects of rising interest rates have on a debt the size of ours.    What none of you seem to realize is that the problems were facing today (interest rates and inflation) would be occurring even if Trump were in office because his fiscal policies are more flawed than either conservatives or liberals.    Libs: we should raise taxes on the rich and spend more! Conservatives: We should cut taxes on everybody but cut spending!   Trump: We’re gonna cut taxes and spend more!    It’s a recipe for pure disaster. He’s literally the guy who says “we’re gonna buy high, sell low, and make it up in volume!”    
    • The problem our buddy @CardinalBacker has is that the Dems have been cheating Trump since before his inauguration.  There's 4 cheats going on right now against a private citizen.  But yet he wants us to believe that the 2020 election was squeaky clean.  No cheating what so ever.  That a brain dead individual got 81 million votes.  But the other guy that was supposed to be so bad got 74 million, the most any President ever got for reelection.  Evil people don't turn on and off their evil cheating ways.

    • You just analogized to a tee the situation going on with the Trump New York trial. And I bet you can't even see the hypocrisy elicited out of your hatred. You once again outed yourself...without any realization of your actions. I'm not sure if Reagan actually set you up to expose your blatant hypocrisy, or if it was just a happy coincidence. You seem to thrive on humiliating yourself. Now get to work on providing that evidence of your emphatic declarations that Trump's economy was horrible. You failed miserably before, I bet you will again.
