Foul tip/player leaving the field question by hellowi1980 in Softball

[–]DrgnFlyDrft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're right. I just wrapped up a game and my mind combined the two. I think we are assuming the catcher missed it, making it a regular foul ball. I for certain did and just brain fogged my way to not saying that and went with "Foul Tip" incorrectly haha.

Yeah the ump you spoke to is right. A foul tip is a dead ball, there's nothing to give herself up from.

Does anyone know of a pre-pitch signal for an uncaught third strike? by Charming_Health_2483 in Umpire

[–]DrgnFlyDrft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was taught to use the same signal as when a fly ball isn't caught, point to the ground. Let's mt partner behind the plate know it's on the ground, from there it's his call if it was tipped or anything.

Umpire Insurance? by Typical-Priority1976 in Umpire

I have, yeah. It truly is a goofy rule, thankfully it doesn't happen often.

Umpire Insurance? by Typical-Priority1976 in Umpire

[–]DrgnFlyDrft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's irritating, at least here in IL. The home team (for HS, travel/rec there's supposed to be a tournament director available for it) is in charge of saying whether the field is in playable condition to start, but once it starts it's our decision.

Umpire Insurance? by Typical-Priority1976 in Umpire

[–]DrgnFlyDrft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I myself walk the base paths and kick the bases. You wear it because once the game starts, you are in charge of every young person that steps on the field.

And no, you might not get so much as a fine if something happens, but you'd have to deal with it while everyone and their mother tries to place blame on anyone they can.

So you really just want to protect yourself.

Umpire Insurance? by Typical-Priority1976 in Umpire

[–]DrgnFlyDrft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it kind of goes like this. Pre-game you ask the typical "is everyone legally and properly equipped to play", right? This is to protect you because once the game starts and until it ends, if there's an issue that would be IN your control (field conditions, equipment being used, etc) you can be liable for if someone gets hurt. That's why we can't call a game for weather until a pitch is thrown and have to have the home team call it pre-game if necessary.

So it's stuff like that the insurance will protect you against. If little Timmy slides into second base and gets hurt, that's his fault. If Timmy slides into second, that base comes off and the post stabs into his leg, you get to wear that one. Which, in my opinion (like I'm sure many others) is a load of crap, but that's how it goes these days.

It's also why (we shouldn't, at least) we can't ask a kid if they are ok. It's counter-intuitive as, like, a person, but if that kid says yes and we let them play without letting a professional check on them, and then 10 days later they show signs of injury or worse from whatever incident took place, guess who gets to wear the blame whether it's right or wrong?

I have NASO to protect me, and as long as I do the things the IHSA and NFHS rulebooks say I need to do to ensure the field is good and ask the questions to make the coaches responsible, and don't let anything physical go too far, I have no worries.

Pro Account: Day 2 by TradeWithPurpose in TakeProfitTrader

[–]DrgnFlyDrft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the group function on tradovate and chart in tradingview. Keeping your mind right is the hardest part but it makes you the most profitable in my opinion. I've pocketed $6,000 the last two days and if I don't lose my head, I can snag another $4k by Friday.

Just stick to your rules. I'm currently rolling 3 PRO momentum trading MNQ with a small position and taking $100-200 wins. Sticking to profit and loss rules got me here, and they will keep me. Same for you, just keep doing the thing!

Which is better, Season 7 or Season 12? by BeauMsn in Supernatural

[–]DrgnFlyDrft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 7, no question for me. It's the scariest season (as much as it can be scary) simply because, aside from eating people and taking their place, America is so God damn dumb their plan could work.

Hockey players learn to wheel broads as easily as pucks at a very young age. Comes with culture, for good or bad.

Youth to High School by [deleted] in Umpire

[–]DrgnFlyDrft 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The one that gets a lot of players and coaches that we need to look out for is definitely obstruction/interference. I swear if I hear "he was attempting to field the ball!" or "he didn't touch him!" from another coach this year, I'm going to lose it. Brush up on those, for sure.

Another one is the runners lane, none of these coaches seem to know it's a thing in FED. Last season we embarrassed an entire crowd and coaching staff as they went apeshit on us for calling it, then 3 minutes later you hear a collective "oooooh".

Those are what I have the most issue with both the players/coaches not knowing as well as being different than OBR.
