re: Pearson is the ultimate Little League coach’s son

He’s probably the best/smartest base runner on the team or in the discussion for it.
He’s a solid defensive player.
He isn’t a 20HR/.350 BA guy and never will be either of those things.
He's a solid player. I’m glad he’s on our team. ...
re: Why aren’t batters swinging when catcher step toward (not on) the plate.
Posted by Hopeful Doc on 5/26/24 at 3:17 pm
[quote]So I guess you call a play to tell batter try and hit the catcher if he comes forward. Really?[/quote]
The play is usually a very slow, long swing with no real intention of hitting the ball and being very slow to vacate the box for a righty. There’s a general awareness that you may hit the...

Posted by Hopeful Doc on 5/26/24 at 3:14 pm
[quote]Yeah but that would have been strike 3 and the game would have been over before the runner reached home plate[/quote]
Yes- in this case it was not the smart option. But in general, swinging on a steal home [u]is[/u] a called play. ...

[quote]Almost always when stealing home the batter is told not to swing. Imagine a line drive hitting the runner in the face as he is stealing home[/quote]
As a called play, it’s pretty easy to swing and miss. ...
re: Out of batters box
Posted by Hopeful Doc on 5/26/24 at 9:08 am
[quote]Does the pitch end because this turns into a throw to home to stop a steal? [/quote]
No. It was a pitch. But it seems as if they called interference before the pitch was complete, negating that there was no interference to the absent batter and awarding him first base before considering...

[quote]So it’s a strike out before Neal ever catches the ball. What was the count?[/quote]
Something and 2 (with at least 1 foot clearly out of the box, arguably 2 depending on whether the call is from when the ball is released or caught)
I just want someone to acknowledge that the batt...

Let me be clear. I’m not disagreeing with you. I have a couple questions as well
[quote]The catcher never stepped on the plate or in front of the plate before he caught the ball[/quote]
“In front” of the plate I think is poorly defined. If someone would define it as any part of the foot “bre...

Men on 1/3
Guy on 3rd breaks for home before the pitch
Batter leaves box
Neal jumps up and forward, receives ball, tags him out.
They go to dugout
2 minutes later; they call a interference on catcher or catcher’s balk- not sure the technical term.
Jay’s response to the umpire see...
