    Interference on pop up

    What if you felt the fielder had a reasonable chance to catch the ball but certainly not ordinary effort and they are hit but the BR. Can you just call the runner out and not call the batter out?

    Drop Dead question

    I agree with you. Timed games are bad enough but if you at least play an equal number of innings it's a "real" game.

    Interference on pop up

    So in this case since the fielder caught it and thus likely a DP both are out? Would it be the same if fielder dropped on getting hit? Appreciate your knowledge on this.

    Earned run question

    It is a fielder choice

    Earned run question

    Situation R2 1 out. Routine grounder to SS. Easy play at first would get Batter but she decides do try and get runner who had gotten off 2nd too far. Throws and runner is safe. Easy scoring FC on batter. Next batter K's for 2 outs. The next batter hits a triple 2 runs score. Are they...

    How do you score this?

    Except they made no play on the anyone else so it's a hit.

    How do you score this?

    That's not really a blanket statement. In the case of a player looking a runner back(not making a play on runner) then trying to get the batter and the batter is safe then it's a hit even though if bases were empty they would have been out. It makes up the FC's that occur when a runner makes...

    How do you score this?

    I would like to see someone show the rule but I believe it's a hit if there is no attempt to get someone out. It's similar to a GB to SS with a runner on 3rd that they look the runner back and then the batter beats the throw. That is a hit even though the hitter would have been out had there...

    Looking for Position Responsibilities Diagram

    You don't say how old the players are but if they are young the best thing to learn is that you do something when the ball is hit. At first they might backup the wrong base or not cover but at least it gets them moving. The other big thing is that you should go for every ball that's in your...

    Dropped third strike play

    There's a big difference between taking a step or 2 and running down the line. I get your point but it doesn't change what I say.

    Just a rant

    Even if you don't play multi sports kids should still have multi interests. Learn how to play an instrument or act in a play or join the chess club.

    Changeups Work Better When You Call Them

    I think that coaches link a bad outcome to a bad decision too often. Someone hits a fastball 250 feet and you think nothing of it, but when you call a CU and someone gets a hit you tend to blame it on a bad call. I see teams that have a ball hit over their head and move the OF back 20 feet...

    Runner tag-up after Infield Fly?

    I think every coach and fans should have to take a 30 minute class on the IFF and D3K before they are allowed in the stands.

    Dropped third strike play

    One more question if we are applying strict ruling if the count was 3-1 and the defense throws to first after strike 2 when the batter ran is it then ball 4 for throwing to an unoccupied base?

    Dropped third strike play

    This is an area that there should be a rule change. I know the defense should know the rules and count but the offence shouldn't get a benefit for not knowing (or even worse knowing and trying to exploit the situation). I would make it a dead ball all runners return to previous base if you...

    When is the right time to speak up....

    My opinion is that as long as you do it in a positive manner and at the right time (not right after a 15-2 loss) you have nothing to lose. If you kid isn't playin anyway they can't bench her more. On the other hand school sports is definitely a situation where most coaches are playing to win...

    First PGF, What to expect.....

    As you move up what you'll notice is that the lineups are much deeper, the defense is much better and the pitching is all good to great.

    NC Top Gun Tournament Rules

    When playing in an organization it's important that you learn the rules. Generally if you can bat everyone in pool play there is free substitution. The only thing you need to report are P and C for courtesy runners if allowed. In Bracket play in most associations you can use your subs to PR...

    Becoming a pitcher only?

    To me it's an issue of what you want out of softball. If college is what you really want and you think you can't make it as a hitter then try and be a P only. However if you really love playing hitting is so much fun. I wasn't a P but if I couldn't hit I wouldn't have played BB. I do know...

    Correcting pitcher during game

    No, maybe I read it wrong but I was under the impression that the OP thought the coaches should do something. I was just saying that most coaches don't really know a ton about pitching.
