New TSSAA Rules

[vandycomms2006]

I heard about these news rules that are put in effect for this year and they seem a little ridiculous to me. If a single profanity comes out of your mouth, even if its accidentally, they kick you out of the game. If you wear ANY jewelry on you during the game, they give you a warning and then you get kicked out. Are these rules a little strict or is it just me?

I esspecialy LOVE the rule were u can't stand there and take a ball to get on base you have to "attemp to move".

[vandycomms2006]

Haha, yeah, that definitely is one of my favorites. If a pitch comes across the batter's box and hits you, that should be an automatic base. The batter's box is for the batter, not the ball. I say take the pitch all day in the back.

I think the bean ball rule has the clasue about attempting to move so that you don't have people chasing the ball trying to get hit.

 

I think the profanity rule is great. Why do you need to be out there cussing? I don't think that anyone starts out cussing, and thinks it is a good thing. Everyone knows it isn't right to cuss, but they try to make it acceptable to fit it into their way of doing things.

 

Enough preaching.

[vandycomms2006]

I agree, but if people are just standing in the box that is rightfully theirs, and not the pitchers, then they should be able to take a pitch off the back without moving and still get a free base. If they step over or move into one, that's a different story.

Yeah, and I'm not the kind of guy to go out there cussing on the baseball field, but if something slips out when you are really mad they should really not be so strict about that.

Does the rule say that you can't wear ANY jewelry at all or just jewelry that has metal on it?

[vandycomms2006]

You can't wear ANY jewelry, no necklaces, or earrings or even those Livestrong bracelet type things.

You know, I can understand no jewelry in basketball, but where is the issue with it in baseball???

This rule has been in effect for many years,it did not start this year,if you want to go to a beauty pageant,then stay off the field.

the jewelry thing doesn't make much sense to me....i ran cross country and i had on a wwjd bracelet and a watch, and out of the two, they made me take off the wwjd bracelet....neither cross country nor baseball are true contact sports, so i don't see where any dark-colored, non-reflective "jewelry" affects game play whatsoever....oh well, guess they just have to make an all-emcompassing rule to take care of some jewelry that could prove to be distracting
