  1. At the risk of repeating myself to the point of irritating others...

     

    No fielder has the right to block a runner's path to a base UNLESS they are in possession of the ball BEFORE they block the path to that base - regardless if a play is coming or not. If they do, it is obstruction and the runner is protected and cannot be called out.

     

    At no time is a runner EVER required to slide. There are a few rec leagues who have their own special slide rules, but no rule book has a slide rule. Runners can be called out or even ejected for running over a defensive player, but they are allowed to run around, slide under, and in a few rule books, jump over a defensive player, but never are they required to slide and never are they out if they do not slide.

     

    Hopefully the coach knew the rules enough to know that raising cain would only have shown he didn't know the rules very well and would have subjected him to ejection. Obstruction, like balls/strikes and out/safe, is a judgment call. Judgment calls cannot be protested and arguing judgment calls, by specific rule, is rewarded with ejection.

     

     

     

    My bad Mr. know it all

  2. I feel bad for those Cascade girls. They should have def. won that game. Even if she was standing on the plate without a force out as long as the play is coming to the plate she has the right to block the plate I do believe. I would have def. raised cain if I was the coach. Also in the picture the girl didn't slide, she should have been called out anyway right

  3. Watched Crockett vs Milan today. Pitching duel till base running errors, fielding errors caught up with Milan. Milan had the game won 2 -1, after CC was up 1-0 in the 6th I think. Milan was a sleep on the bases and CC ended up winning 4-1 in 10.
