That's happened before, but thankfully refs repeatedly whistled it dead to indicate they were on top of it. This though is just a bizarre play where they think a dead ball is a live ball. Had the fielder thrown it into the stands I don't know what they would have done- said it was a grand slam??

Believe it or not I have seen an interception in the end zone called a safety. The player took a knee after the int and the refs gave the offense 2 points and the free kick. The coaches went nuts and got 15yd penalty. I have also seen a basketball player tackled from behind on a lay up the ball goes in a clear intentional foul called a regular non shooting foul.

I once saw a dropped third strike where the ball bounced up the first base line and the batter took a few steps toward his dugout (third base side). By the time he realized he needed to run to first, the catcher had the ball and was standing directly on the first base line, making it basically impossible for the batter to reach first unless the catcher dropped the ball on a tag. The batter decided to run AROUND the catcher, ending up basically running across the mound on his way to first. Not since tee ball has anyone seen a runner go so far out of the baseline. The umpire called interference on the PITCHER, WHO NEVER LEFT THE MOUND. To this day I still can’t understand what went through that ump’s head.

The fact that this is the breakdown that broke Jomboy is kinda funny. He’s dealt with lots of crap umpires and this one just makes him the most upset

[@Biswalt]

@K lake it’s also because it’s not ONE ump screwing up. It’s ALL the umps screwing up. You’d think ONE person there would have realized it was a dead ball. I’d have lost it if I was a player or coach.

[@hyuggie]

because it's such a basic rule of the game, actually any sport. Field of play has boundaries.

[@bpuryea]

This is why my HS coach and my son's HS coach always had the rule book in their back pocket because they both knew the rules better than 99% of the umps.

[@OJuggernautO]

Right, that’s definitely a smart decision for sure. But like… I don’t think you’d need a rulebook on this one. Tbh if I was a player or coach I would think it was some Vlog Creations prank or something, lmao

[@lineygoblue]

That's a good way for a coach to be ejected. Bring out a rule book and shove it in the umpire's face. Good bye.

[@bpuryea]

@@lineygoblue There is no such authority for umpires in all of my experience. In MLB, sure, the umps all know the rules better than the coaches. Possibly at the Div 1 level of college too, but at not at any other level. Showing the relevant rule to the umpire is not an ejectionable offense if it comes from a coach!

[@lineygoblue]

@@bpuryea You're wrong, sir. I was a umpire for 25 years. If a coach pulls out a rule book and comes out to argue a point with me I'm telling him immediately to put away the rule book and go back to the dugout. If he refuses, he's gone. Its considered unsportsmanlike conduct. If the coach believes I've mis-applied or misinterpreted a rule, he can play the remainder of the game under protest. if he's arguing a judgement call, he's automatically ejected. Don't shove a rule book in my face. I know the rules. As an umpire, that's why I'm there.

In the league where I coached briefly in the 1970's a rulebook in the back pocket would mean an automatic ejection.

I played a lot of sports and reffed jr high sports like soccer and track & field. when I was in HS at 16. Since I did track and field and knew all the rules and regs, I also worked as a track and field judge at meets in high school for teams in the other classifications. Those were good gigs, I got $10 a meet for jr high, and $20 for high school ones.

[@therealMolochko]

It's honestly all down to the fact that nobody ever gave the initial signal of "foul" and dead ball. You break a habit that's been ingrained by thousands of repetitions and people's brains will break too.
