Hmmm perhaps that should read offense and defense are allowed to be ignorant.To the OP …
The rulebook does not support you.
I do not support the rulebook on this. “The defense should know while the offense is allowed to be ignorant AND benefit from it” is one of the dumbest things ever said in the game.
However, them’s the rules.
As others have said though, do it on purpose or try it twice coach, and you will find a different end of the stick.
*imo that IS on them! Mental part of the game is part of the game!
(heck... there is even a person standing on the field who's keeping track of balls, strikes and outs. Use the resource!)
What does the rule book say about people who are playing that don't know the rules?
... is there a caveat built into that?! LOL
