Jeez, after T-Bone's last two posts, I feel a little guilty complaining that the umpire in my son's baseball game was not well versed on the infield fly rule.

I went to a baseball game for my nephew a couple weeks ago, and saw maybe the worst umpire ruling of all time. It's a 9/10 age league, so I'm not expecting Jim Joyce out there, and I expect a big strike zone to be called, but this guy just made an awful call that blew the entire game open against my nephew's team.

Runners are on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. Some kid on the other team hits a very weak line drive to the second basemen. The ball is caught, and the batter is out. The batting team got aggressive and sent their runner on 3rd to attempt to score. As the throw is coming into the plate, the batter who just made the out is running back to the dugout across the field and runs right in front of the catcher who is attempting to catch the throw and tag the runner out. The ball thrown home hits the batter who just made the out and the catcher is unable to have even a chance to catch the ball and make the tag, so the runner scores.

I would think this is a simple interference call against the hitting team and the runner trying to score should be ruled out. At the very least, the runner should have been sent back to 3rd. But nope, dumbass called the guy safe at home, and the other team ended up putting up 4 additional runs in the inning, and eliminated my nephew's team from the playoffs.

"It is interference by a batter or runner when—Any batter or runner who has just been put out, or any runner who has just scored, hinders or impedes any following play being made on a runner. Such runner shall be declared out for the interference of his teammate."

Comment: "If the batter or a runner continues to advance after he has been put out, he shall not by that act alone be considered as confusing, hindering or impeding the fielders."

My younger brother passed away this afternoon after a long illness. 39 is way too young. My parents, his wife, and me and my wife were all there for his last moments. My wife and I never had been through anything like that before and it was a very surreal moment. We are all happy that he has gone on to a better place. Look forward to celebrating his life early next week. Hug your loved ones.

i went to a farm auction last weekend and bought every gas can the guy had with the old spouts. so much happier.
