@KevinDay8504 @Seth_3773 The pitcher is delivering a pitch, he only needs to step off if he's trying to throw the runner out which isn't what happened here. The interference is because the catcher is out of the catcher's box on a legal pitch, whether or not the batter stepped out is irrelevant

@_TrueVoodoo Can you send me info to access?

@rentfred @ShoreUndercover These have been around since 2009 when O'Malley expanded the program statewide.

@ShoreUndercover They are actually turned off on the weekends (they are active only 6a - 8p Mon-Fri) but remain active when a holiday falls on a weekday.

@ObiwonTrader @JohnDoeKnowsGuy If you have no clue what you're talking about, why bother responding?

@drmarlonperalta I have a Casio dw-h5600 for exactly the same reasons as you. It does what I'm looking for with no subscription and doesn't look goofy as hell like most of the others...

@stuckintwoson @aliciaandrz You lack empathy which is a basic human emotion. I know which one I'd much rather be missing. And side effects have been studied but you didn't really care about that, did you? You just wanted to put someone down because you're weak

@Troj2Troj2 @aliciaandrz How do you know that anyone will have to use it for life? Can you point me towards a long term study?

@RumorsandRants @Philly_Hotdog If a bunch of neutral subject matter experts all agree it's properly called and a bunch of biased fans who don't know or understand the rules agree it was called unfairly for their team, who do you think is more likely to be correct?

[David B @mowrmowr]

@Teddymac44 @balkwhisperer Every time someone mansplains loudly to a subject matter expect that they're wrong when they're actually not, an angel gets it's wings.

@mikerice02 @Cooper19874 So in a high school game, the umpire could rule that the catcher was not making a legitimate attempt to throw the base runner out and is therefore sent back to first. College does not allow for that ruling.

[David B @mowrmowr]

@mikerice02 @Cooper19874 Interestingly, the NFHS rule for this specific case does allow for judgement:
" If the pitch is a third strike and in the umpire’s judgment interference prevents a possible double play (additional outs), two may be ruled out (8-4-2g)"

[David B @mowrmowr]

@617dimare @mikerice02 Intent doesn't matter, no room for judgment:

f. The batter intentionally or unintentionally interferes with the catcher’s fielding or throwing by stepping out of the batter’s box or making any other movement that hinders a defensive player’s action at home plate;

NCAA 7-11-f

[David B @mowrmowr]

@HogfanChris @gif_tannen @daddutroub Not surprisingly, the umps know the rules. NCAA rule is 7-11-f

PENALTY for f.—The batter is out and all runners return to their bases at the time of the pitch.

Exceptions—

3) If the batter also should strike out on the play, it is a double play.

@CSCawley @MarcErnay @ScoringChanges @MLB Lol, there's one of these dudes in every post

[David B @mowrmowr]

@MarcErnay @ScoringChanges @MLB Good question, I hope we get an answer since it happens so rarely. Is it just a pop out foul and advance on a tag up with no RBI awarded to the batter?

@kristoncapps @JPL606 Here are 2 pictures of neighborhood roads - one in DC, one in MoCo within half a mile of each other on either side of Western. Guess which is which.
