| Jan. 27, 2023 fresnomdn | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Proton Sports Top Gun Tournament I'd settle for that right now. It's not there. The only results showing are what somebody copied themselves for the first couple of days (the same time I was there) and posted. |
| Jan. 27, 2023 fresnomdn | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Proton Sports Top Gun Tournament I'm not sure if I'm missing something or not, but I can't find any results of the recent tournament in Bullhead City: Proton Sports Top Gun. There is a link named "Tournament Results:", but it doesn't have the results of most age brackets. It's been over a week since it was finished, so maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? Everything has been refreshed, so that isn't it. |
| Sept. 22, 2022 fresnomdn | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Hows the new ball performing at worlds Dave? Just wondering, Mikelmart . . . did they find the balls? |
| May 19, 2022 fresnomdn | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Commitment line on a tag up. I would guess (and hope) that the commitment line issue would be nullified by the catch and need to return to 2B. I don't know why there would need to be an 'appeal' made for the play at 2B, as long as the ball is in play. I don't believe I've ever seen a player appeal throwing behind the runner on a caught fly ball, except when the play has ended - i.e., 1st & 3rd one out and flyball caught. Runner from 3d tags legally and scores, but defense then appeals the runner from 1st. The 3rd out is on the appeal so the runner scores . . . however, if the defense threw immediately to the base left early, the 3rd out could occur before the run scores. The runner leaving early is what triggers the out. Sorry for the lengthy response. |
| April 28, 2022 fresnomdn | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: You make the call Always two bases on this play no matter the direction of the runner. Two from the last legally occupied base of the runner, tag or no tag. Unless there is a special senior rule for this play, it's always been two bases no matter the wording (two bases, one+one, etc., and direction of the runner is irrelevant. |
| May 22, 2021 fresnomdn | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Infield Fly Rule I don't think you reverse it. If the second call (reversed) was made verbally, stick with the Infield Fly call and rectify the situation, which would likely send the runners back to their original bases and the batter is out. |
| April 17, 2021 fresnomdn | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Southwest Championships Refresh, refresh, refresh |
| April 16, 2021 fresnomdn | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Southwest Tournament Is anybody else having trouble getting updates? I have nothing from about Tuesday afternoon. |
| Jan. 28, 2021 fresnomdn | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Infield Fly (not) Thanks B.J. Not sure I like it, but I do understand how age might make it a good rule. Even though the SS in the mentioned play did not intentionally play it this way, I would make the same call myself (now that I know this rule). |
| Jan. 27, 2021 fresnomdn | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Infield Fly (not) I know the Infield Fly scenario. Didn't know what else to name this thread. There was no touch of the pop up. Unless it's a Senior rule, the intent of the infielder isn't relevant unless they actually touch the ball in the air (same thing with a line drive). The batter not running is what makes this a doable maneuver for the defense . . . unless it's a Senior rule. You could let a ball hit the ground in order to force a faster lead runner, but you'd better be sure you can play the hop. And if the batter doesn't run to first, he can be doubled up . . . unless the umpire stops the play. I guess what I'm asking is if there is a specific Senior rule for this. |
| Jan. 27, 2021 fresnomdn | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Infield Fly (not) No outs, runner on 1B. Batter pops up in front of SS (big wind blowing in). The SS comes up like he has it, but then stops and lets it hit the ground (looked intentional, he says not). The SS picks it up immediately and tosses to 2B forcing the runner from 1B. About this time, the umpire calls the play dead and calls the batter out for not running. The defense accepted it, saying it didn't really change anything (but said they thought it was wrong to make that call). I think it did change things, as they had an easy double play due to the batter not running it out. I know what this would be in any other league, baseball or softball, just not too familiar with Senior rules yet. |
| Dec. 6, 2020 fresnomdn | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: the catch rule?? Good call. It's a catch. If the runner had reached 1st before he held it in his hand or glove, not an out. He didn't actually 'catch' it until he held it in his hand. |
