This is fun kickball, and not everyone's as focused on the game as they could be. It's worst when it's officials not focused, or officials uneducated in the rules. So the blog readers now have no excuse for not knowing the rules discussed here ad nauseum. I guess it's up to interpretation at this point.<br /><br />Good luck and happy opening day.J.W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16543953877827119961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518356691616461696.post-36221724152457141472010-04-06T14:35:44.681-04:002010-04-06T14:35:44.681-04:00Just so we are clear.

Just because Ty does douchy things doesn't mean I hate him. Hell my best friends do douchy things all the time. Doesn't mean I hate them. <br /><br />I only hate HNiF. <br /><br /><br />And when the ref laughs at you for "overrunning" 2nd base and then trying to arc or whatever else you claim. You can be called a clown. It's not like I called him a dipshit, fucktard, assbag or some other derogatory name. <br /><br />No one would have been in the runners way if he wasn't out in left field.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00398486451739296814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518356691616461696.post-21657274304723679972010-04-06T14:35:31.629-04:002010-04-06T14:35:31.629-04:00I've rune to 2nd base numerous times to find 3...I've rune to 2nd base numerous times to find 3 girls having a conference at the base discussing who would possibly catch the ball should a force play happen there. I've literally had to pick up a player and move them out of the way before while rounding 2nd and heading to 3rd. Unfortunately part of the game.YellowBirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02251490840633045130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518356691616461696.post-31374509308586732942010-04-06T14:35:08.960-04:002010-04-06T14:35:08.960-04:00we didn't used to have that extra base and I d...we didn't used to have that extra base and I don't remember that many injuries before... just sayingGeoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115443393865431133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518356691616461696.post-25292092804711976082010-04-06T14:20:18.299-04:002010-04-06T14:20:18.299-04:00Couple last kicks of the horse that I was trying t...Couple last kicks of the horse that I was trying to add earlier but stupid work kept getting in my way:<br /><br />Bull, I disagree. That bag saves a few injuries every Thursday, I bet. If people aren't using it correctly, let them know. The bases aren't easy to feel and it's impossible to play it like a baseball first base with the balls of your feet on the corner because all of a sudden you've pulled your foot without knowing. You have to keep too much of the foot on there for it to be safe for someone to run through the bag trying to beat out a throw. <br /><br />In the case of a poor throw up the basepath, like what ryan is talking about, it should have been plenty obvious that the runner can tag whichever base is convenient. I didn't see that play clearly from where I was, so if the runner got to first, whichever base, before the first baseman caught the ball with a foot on the standard base, then the runner should have been safe. <br /><br />Also, there's quite a difference between overrunning a bag and making a turn in baserunning. What our player did was make a turn (which he was forced to do because a fielder was standing directly on top of second base, btw) well within the normal baserunning arc you described, and while retreating to the bag, which happens in the vast majority of cases when utilizing this method of baserunning, a fielder cannot hinder the runner's progress to the bag. I've seen players on your team, on a few occasions, utilize this "turn", draw a bad throw, and turn it into extra bases. I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate it if a fielder interfered, just as we didn't.<br /><br />Finally, it's pretty uncouth to call someone, particularly someone you don't know at all, a clown. I know you hate Off Constantly, but there's no need to make it personal all the time. That's the part that draws these long-winded responses. Then again, maybe that's your goal. If so, congrats. <br /><br />In the words of Les Miles: "have a great day."J.W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16543953877827119961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518356691616461696.post-91168771540334957952010-04-06T13:42:50.095-04:002010-04-06T13:42:50.095-04:00Alabama Hot Pocket!!Alabama Hot Pocket!!Chandlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15864775186727498712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518356691616461696.post-16790666673315878972010-04-06T13:39:30.033-04:002010-04-06T13:39:30.033-04:00This post is a lot like the RRR posts.
