So what we’re saying is now when you walk you have a time limit to get to first base? I thought ball four entitled you to first base, free and unimpeded, no matter how long it actually took you to get there?


You also can’t have anyone assist the runner towards a base, which if any of the players who dogpiled him figured out that he had to touch first and then picked him up and pushed him towards first, he would’ve also been out.

Bonehead play not only by the batter, but by the rest of the team. Good thing they pulled it out

Based on NFHS rules, I’d coach catchers to whip it down to first after every walk.

Take 5 seconds to take off your football gear and walk it towards your dugout? Out.

That doesn't show intent of giving yourself up. Showboating and dogpiling shows you have zero intent of going to first base.

I would say take it out on the kid, but the 3rd base coach was also celebrating until he saw someone say the kid had to touch first, so I would blame him for not knowing the rule and not teaching it.

It’s a bad rule and they had a bad umpire if he applied it in this situation

Yeh, you have to ask yourself why it matters in this situation. The answer is it doesn’t at all

Catholic won so it’s water under the bridge but it’s an over zealous ump situation

The players Catholic cuts transfer to other Baton Rouge schools so they can play

I have more issue with the rule than the ruling. A technicality that only applies in a walk-off is a bad rule.

A base on balls turned into a race to first base. That isn’t the intent of an appeal rule.

You may not like the rule, but it is the rule and the crew must enforce it. Just like next year they must enforce the safety 1b rule just like college.

Also players coming onto field during a live ball

No, they are offering financuial assistance. And with NIL being legal under LHSAA interpretation it is irrelevant because some booster could simply contract to pay it for them to be under the rules.

LHSAA and NIL

This document is going to make things far worse in high school sports in Louisiana.

That makes humans seem like apes to say that in a situation like this

You absolutely do not need to mindlessly enforce this rule in this situation. It was completely meaningless

He abandoned his attempt to reach first base, not a race.

That crew would have been eviscerated had they not enforced it.


Officials can’t choose which rules they do or don’t enforce.

No they wouldn’t. Only a few ridiculous BM fans would have complained but even most of them would have said “it doesn’t matter”

BM had to complete the appeal before the batter corrected his mistake. The play ended with the batter sliding into first behind the throw.

It’s just asinine. The entire thing. Every fan and every player understood when the count was 3-2 that a ball means the championship is over. Everyone saw the ball

Everyone accepts it’s over. This is why refs/umps rightfully get blasted at times. Nobody cares you know this rule and nobody cares about your “honoring the rule book here”. It’s just ridiculous.

You can recruit but the players have to live in district. So if you want to move your kid there sure go for


If you don’t think non selects don’t have kids coming from wrong attendance zones and even other parishes you are very uninformed.

Even 2-3 parishes away.

You might wanna look up the Hahnville qb case from a few years back - player was reported and documented and LHSAA ruled him ineligible - yet a st Charles parish judge ruled him ineligible.


Also MANY coaches will not turn in another school- BECAUSE

1. They may need to work for or with them some day.
2. They don’t want the finger pointed back at them and having all of their players looked at(I have heard coaches actually say that.

If there would have been another game and they didn’t enforce, they wouldn’t have called the next game.

A missed call is one thing, ignoring a rule is a completely different animal.

Several times in several sports it has had officials on championship crews get removed and even whole crews removed.

Getting mechanics wrong can be worse than the above(especially when it comes to an official not being or looking where they should be and major action happens).

Then that shows just how ridiculous the entire organization for umpires is
