When a team uses a DH they have 10 starters which all can re enter the game once in the same spot in the batting lineup they were in originally. Also when a DH comes in to play a position if he has never been out of the game, killing the DH, this does not count as a re enter since he has never left the game. [/quote] He,he, he, he!!!!!! I remember someone doing this in a big game one time and the opposing coach had no clue it was legal!!!! Classic! [/quote] I bet the opposing coach still doesn't understand the rule  lol

[quote name="hitman009" post="1389314" timestamp="1364395567"] can a starting player (fielder not batting/being DH for) be a  runner for the Catcher or Pitcher?  What happens if the player is pulled?  can he run then? [/quote] No starter can be a courtesy runner, only a player that has never been in the game can be be a coutesy runner. If a starter re enters the game, it must be in the same spot he occupied originally.

If the bat is lying on the ground it becomes part of the playing field and you play it as is. If the ball hits the bat a second time before it hits the ground then it is a foul ball. You would not allow a batter/runner to throw a bat at the ball or kick the bat to project the ball away from a fielder which would be interference.

There is no protest in Texas HS Baseball per UIL. The second thing, a district can not change a federation baseball rule. Federation Baseball clearly states that a pitcher can not be on the dirt area of the mound and a fielder hold the ball for the purpose of tagging out a runner in a hidden ball trick. That has for the most part eliminated the play. A district can not create a rule that says no hidden ball tricks and expect it to be upheld by the UIL. They can do other things but they cannot supercede a rule with one of their own. Hope this helps.

As an Umpire, we go by Federation Rules and any exception provided by the UIL. Could you imagine the confusion if we had to know any special district rule also, what a cluster. That is why there have been times about suspended games we as umpires can only stop the game then let the district committee rule if the game should be restarted, resumed or is final.

[quote name="Ty Cobb" post="1386643" timestamp="1363708761"] SCENARIO/QUESTION 1: The batter swings the bat and hits the catchers glove.  Interference is called and the batter is awarded 1st base.  What is the official ruling for the batter?  Is this an official at bat?  Does it go down as a reach-on-error?  SCENARIO/QUESTION 2: Top of 7th, tie ball game, visitors have runners on 1st and 3rd.  The starting pitcher is pulled with 2 outs.  The relief pitcher comes into the game, throws 2 pitches to the batter, then picks the runner off of 3rd to end the inning.  The home team then scores a run in the bottom of the 7th to win the game.  Which pitcher gets the win? SCENARIO/QUESTION 3: Bottom of 7th, home team is down by 1, runner on 2nd.  The visiting team uses the hidden-ball pickoff play to get the last out of the game.  The district rules state that "HIDDEN BALL PLAYS" will not be allowed.  What happens? [/quote] First two we do not get involved in how plays are scored in the book so check with a real baseball statistician, as far as the hidden ball trick, the rule is that if the pitcher is on the dirt of the mound when a hidden ball trick is used, it is a balk. I have never heard of a district making a rule of no hidden ball tricks, but i do know that baseball and UIL rules can not be superseded by local umpire chapters or districts. 

[quote name="HSB&Rangers" post="1385859" timestamp="1363380019"] That usually something that the individual umpire has to do. It is a very simple process, but for the technically challenged umpire it might be difficult. [/quote] There, I went and changed mine so I can be taken off the technically challenged list but please do not take me off the eye sight challenged list.

We had new pictures taken at a couple of our meetings to update pics but I am sure some did not make those meetings. I will ask bout it though. 

I know the last game for Saturday was at 3:30 until the 6 PM game was added yesterday. That could be why they are flip flopped but then I have made a wrong call or two !!!!!!

From what I have seen I think 21 3A could be the most competitive district. Many of the teams seem to be very equal. I have not seen Silsbee or BC but the other 5 I have and  on any given nght any of them could beat the other. 

That is correct, if the runner advances past what he would have received from obstruction, he does at his own risk.

Contact Bob West at the panews with your question.

Man what a game so far. Looks like a espn instant classic

I sure wish some folks would just grow up or realize their stab at comedy is not funny at all.

I will be at this one, called this match about 3 weeks into the season. Sometimes it plays out just like you see it but this one was pretty obvious. I'll say Newton by 14.

It is one sweet place to play been there twice.

Got my two tickets!!!!!

[/quote] There is no way they will be able to stop that many fans from sitting in the parking lots. I think what they mean is that no tail gating can be done beofre the game starts [/quote] They could require you to show tickets before letting you into parking lot if it is a sellout which i know it will be. For folks to go and take up parking spaces with no way in is not right to the people who have tickets and should get the parking.

wos is visitor Buddy

I think there are a few of other teams that will have a say so in this. Bellville, Gilmer, Henderson or Graham
