  1. To clarify, once the ball leaves the zone (3 yards behind and beyond the line of scrimmage, 4 yards to either side of the ball when snapped) the zone disintegrates.
  2. But also remember that the Free Blocking Zone goes away very quickly after the snap!
  3. I think this horse is dead! The bickering on this is getting a bit old. The umpire in question made a JUDGEMENT call. He called what he saw. Obviously some disagree with what he saw and that is fine. Nobody says that can't be done. The umpire in question is, and it has been stated in this thread, a very competant umpire. He cares about what he does and works hard year round to improve and be the best that he can be. As someone incorrectly stated, he is not out to just collect a check. I would say that most umpires at the high school level are not just out there for the check. If so, they aren't making a very good living for themselves. Not sure who MAC W is but based on his comments in some other threads, he doesn't appear to be a 9th region guy...hopefully he isn't an umpire at all! If he is an umpire, his comments are reflecting poorly on the rest. Unfortunate! Can we please talk about the game or move on? The "call" has been discussed and is over.
  4. In this situation, plate umpire has the catch/no catch. The base umpire is watching the batter/runner round first and wouldn't have been able to see this. Thus, he has no possible way of overruling the plate umpire because he can't call something he didn't see.
  5. Do you really think that two (2) umpires are supposed to be watching an outfielder catch a fly ball?? I don't know the situation (anyone on base, was the ball drifting toward a foul line, was the fielder on the run for the catch, etc.) Depending on the situation here, only one (1) umpire is supposed to be watching for the catch...not two (2). Obviously the one (1) that was watching it, saw it wrong and booted the call. The other one (1) can't over rule on it because he didn't see it because he was watching his other responsibilities. Now, missing a call like this is never good but it happens. BTW, I don't know who the two (2) umpires were, but I doubt they were kidding with you!
  6. It should be interesting to see how consistent this is enforced.
  7. Balk is an immediate dead ball. Runner now on second.
  8. Nevermind. I interpreted that incorrectly. The run doesn't score. All are returned to their base. Batter gets first base. 2 outs.
  9. No. Run scores. Game is over. The award for rule 5-1-1f "Hit runner is out. Batter awarded first base and credited with single. Others return to base occupied at the time of interference unless forced by batter-runner" Since the bases were loaded, they were all forced to advance and therefore the run scores.
  10. State championship game Bottom 7 Bases loaded 1 out Scored tied 3-3 Batter hits ball to right side of infield. Perfect double play ball scenario. Ball hits runner before 2nd baseman can field it. What happens?
  11. The rule reference is incorrect. That isn't the NFHS book. Rule 5.1.1.f.2 Ball becomes dead immediately when a fair batted ball touches a runner after passing through or by an infielder and another infielder could have made a play on the ball.
  12. Sorry Clyde. This is right. Rarely seen but one that would cause a "discussion" with the coach! :-)
  13. Sorry. I meant to quote this post
  14. Okay, let's use this same scenario except the ball is hit in the gap between first and second. Second baseman misses his attempt to field the ball. However, the first baseman is still attempting his play on the ball when it hits the runner. What's the call?
