Sept. 9, 2024 Larry S	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: rule covering hitting a bounced pitch What if the batter swings and hits the ball fair?
Sept. 9, 2024 Larry S	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: rule covering hitting a bounced pitch What rule covers a batter hitting a pitch that bounces over the plate.
Sept. 3, 2024 Larry S	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Walked batter not touching 1st base Rule 8.1 (I) states when umpire has called 4 balls or walk issued, all runners must touch all bases in order. IF the bases are loaded, the 5th run is on 3rd, and the walked batter goes into the dugout rather than touching first base, does any rule cover sending the walked batter from the dugout area back out to first base. ie: when is it too late to send the runner to 1st?
July 19, 2024 Larry S	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Rule covering runner touching base Bases loaded. 5th run on third base. Batter walks forcing in 5th run. 3rd base runner does not touch home plate, he walks into dugout. What rule covers runner must touch home plate? Thanks

June 12, 2024 Larry S	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Rule Question Ground ball to third base, the throw to first pulls first baseman into runner's path. Runner pulls up short of first as to not run into 1st baseman. Any obligation of 1st baseman to give runner path to bag?
June 3, 2024 Larry S	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: What is correct call Bases loaded, one out, batter hits high pop-up ten feet in front of home plate. Umpire calls infield fly rule. Ball hits ground and rolls foul. Umpire calls foul ball.
June 1, 2023 Larry S	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Where is the timing play rule? Bases loaded. one out. Batter hits a fly to center that's caught. Runner on 2nd takes off as soon as the ball is hit. The runner of 3rd scores after the catch is made. After the runner scores, the ball is thrown to 2nd to appeal the runner not tagging. A double play is called. Where is the rule that says the run from third counts? Thanks.
Feb. 4, 2023 Larry S	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: pitching screen placement We have been using a pitching screen in our local league many years. We have a near miss every year on the pitcher who did not fully step behind the screen and the line shot missed his head by 6 inches. One of our discussed remedies is to move the screen so the pitcher must pitch over the screen so they are behind the screen every pitch. For the local leagues that pitch over the screen, how do you word your rule? Thanks.
July 8, 2022 Larry S	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: defender touching first base orange bag first I have read & reread the rule. If the defender touches the orange bag first, then drags his foot across the white bag, is the runner safe? There is no runner interference.
May 21, 2022 Larry S	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: what's the ruling on ball over the foul line Batter hits ball down 3rd base line. Ball stops in foul territory with about half inch of the ball sphere over the clearly marked foul line. The ball does not appear to be touching the foul line, but about one half inch of the ball is over the foul line. Fair or foul?
May 10, 2022 Larry S	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: What's the call on a pitch We have a player in our local league saying the plate umpire is calling a strike when a pitch hits the ground first, then hits the plate on the bounce up. Is this a correct call and simply a perfect pitch at which a batter should/could never swing?
March 22, 2022 Larry S	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: How would you rule the call Just to clarify, there was one ump at home plate.
March 22, 2022 Larry S	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: How would you rule the call Local Senior League. Runner on first. Batter hits a fly to left, fielder appears to make a shoestring catch. Umpire signals a catch. Left fielder throws the ball to second to force runner and says I did not catch the ball. The first base runner retreated back to first thinking the ball was caught. How would you rule?
May 22, 2021 Larry S	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Infield Fly Rule In our Rec game last week the umpire called infield fly. He then reversed his call when the ball did not go as high as he thought. How do you handle a reversed infield fly call?
May 19, 2021 Larry S	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: merging stronger players with weaker players at local level Would like to hear ideas on how your local senior rec games handle setting up teams with the strong big hitter travel guys & the weaker guys who love playing the game. Point being what happens when the big hitter lines it into the infield & the infielder is one of the weaker players? We have some big hitters not wanting to play because they don't want to injure a weaker infielder. Thanks for input..
Feb. 20, 2019 Larry S	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: foul tip question In our senior league we have modified the foul tip rule to read that any foul tip that goes directly to the catchers glove is an out. We have an umpire saying there was a rule one time stating that if a foul tip was not cleanly caught, it was not an out. ie: if the ball popped out of the catcher's glove, but he caught it before it hit the ground, it would not be an out. Did such a rule ever exist?
Dec. 13, 2017 Larry S	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Survey I voted and it worked fine. When I called up the survey again it said:That survey is unavailable or has already been completed
Nov. 20, 2017 Larry S	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 75+ roster question SPA rule allows : Players on Men’s 75+ Major Plus, Major, and AAA rosters must be from their specific area of the country based upon being East or West of the Mississippi River, and may select one player without geographic restriction Does SSUSA allow one player without geographic restriction?
