May, 2015 Interpretations May, 2015 Interpretations May 1, 2015 1-12b, Penalty—bat warmers are considered an artificial means to improve a bat’s performance. The use of bat warmers is prohibited. 2-16—Definition of a catch, “a fielder shall demonstrate complete control of the ball and that the release of the ball is voluntary and intentional.” Play: A fly ball sticks in the webbing of the fielder’s glove. The fielder, with his throwing hand, knocks the ball from the webbing and the ball falls to the ground. This is not interpreted as establishing the validity of the catch. The fielder may remove the glove, with the ball still stuck in the webbing, from his hand and toss it to another fielder and that would establish voluntary and intentional control. 2-55, A.R. 4—If there is a pickoff at any base, the fielder may not block the base unless he has the ball in his possession. He may be blocking a base without the ball but if contact is made with the fielder by the base runner before the fielder has possession of the ball, obstruction should be called. There is no “in the act of fielding” on a pick-off throw. 2-75, a-d—A suspended person shall follow the same rules as an ejected person, (“be removed from sight and sound of the contest”). In addition a suspended person cannot: be dressed in game uniform; communicate with any team personnel or umpires; Page 2, May, 2015 Interpretations take part in any pregame activities at the site of the competition; be in the stadium once pregame activities have started. Interpretation: Any time a participant has been ejected and the ejection carries a suspension, that ejection and resulting suspension shall be upheld, even when a game is stopped due to weather, light failure, etc. The resulting suspension must be served in the team’s next regularly scheduled game or games. 4-4a—At the pregame meeting, both teams submit their official lineups to the UIC. The umpire is officially in charge of the game and the lineups are official. If the game is suspended or halted without a pitch having been thrown, the lineups in the UIC’s possession are set for the resumption of play. Should a coach wish to change his lineup, the players that are changed are ineligible to participate in that game. 5-2, A.R. 1—Allows teams to film from any unmanned camera location. No video from any manned or unmanned sources may be transmitted for coaching, training or scouting during a contest. As per the new rules, the Committee is allowing unmanned cameras beyond the cutouts toward the outfield as long as it is not used for coaching purposes during the game. With this being allowed, the next challenge we will face in our game will be the integrity of our programs and the following of the rules of the game. 5-7, A.R. 10—A seven inning game that was originally scheduled as a part of a doubleheader, and was never started or had been halted Page 3, May, 2015 Interpretations due to weather or light failure, etc. may be completed as a seven- inning game at a future time. All three entities, umpires, visiting team and home team game management must be present when this decision is made. It provides both teams with the flexibility of never starting or having to halt a game once it had been started. If the change is not weather related or facility issue, the game may be moved to another date but it must be played as a nine-inning game. 5-9, Halted Game—A game that has been agreed on before its start or by Conference adoption to be continued later from the point of interruption, or played to a predetermined point of completion. Meaning that a halted game may be played to less than nine innings, if on get-away day, no new inning may start after a mutually agreed upon predetermined time. The conditions of Rule 5-8 for a regulation game must be met if the teams are playing to a “drop-dead” time. Once the Halted Game rule has been agreed on at the beginning of a contest, the game must be played to its completion or be counted as “no contest.” A game may not go from the Halted Game provision that was agreed upon prior to its beginning to being decided by the regulation Game rule 6-4d, 8-3k—Once a baseball is lodged or stuck in field padding or player’s equipment and does not immediately drop out, it should be considered a lodged ball. Each base runner is awarded one base. Rule 7-1—while the pitcher is taking his signs from the catcher, the batter intentionally steps out of the batter’s box with both feet. Page 4, May, 2015 Interpretations May a base runner attempt to steal his forward base? Is “time” automatically out? No, time is not automatically out. Unless a request for time is granted by the umpire, the ball is still “live and in play.” The pitcher may pitch and the umpire will call the result of the pitch. If there is no base runner, the pitcher and batter are still governed by the 20-second pitch clock. With a base runner, there is no pitch clock. 7-2e, (3) (a)—It takes three substitutions to create a double- switch situation. Play: 10-man lineup, pitching change in the 6th, coach stays with 10-man lineup. In the 8th, game pitcher becomes the pitcher/DH. In the 9th, a new pitcher enters the game but the replaced pitcher remains as the DH. (Coach must make that designation at the time of the substitution.) In the 10th, the removed pitcher (who is also the DH) goes in on defense, the DH is eliminated). At the same time, the defensive coach substitutes for another defensive player. (DOUBLE SWITCH POSSIBILITY) The DH is locked in. The removed pitcher, although going in on defense, is locked-in by the DH position he held prior to entering the game defensively. But, the coach can place the continuing pitcher and the second defensive player in the position that he wishes in the batting order. 7-10—An illegally batted ball is a ball hit, fair or foul by the batter with one or both of the batter’s feet are upon the ground entirely outside the lines of the batter’s box OR when one foot or a portion of one foot is touching home plate. Page 5, May, 2015 Interpretations To be called out, the foot must be completely outside the lines of the batter’s box OR be touching home plate when contact is made with the ball. The batter must start with both feet on or inside the lines of the batter’s box. 8-3f—A fielder that moves in front of a runner and attempts to intentionally and continually block the runner’s view of the pitcher is a form of visual obstruction. 9-1a (8)—prohibits the pitcher from taking a forward step with the pivot foot before releasing the ball. Interpretation: A pitcher is not allowed to jump or push forward off the pitcher’s plate with his pivot foot and then bring this foot to the ground and make a second push-off prior to delivering the pitch. This delivery is to be considered an “illegal pitch” and with runners on base shall be called a balk. With no runners on base it shall be called a ball. A pitcher should not be considered to be in violation if he pushes off the pitcher’s plate with his pivot foot and maintains consistent contact with the ground with his pivot foot without a second push-off from the ground. 9-2a—Interpretation, Quick Pitch, in the umpire’s judgment, when a pitcher delivers the ball in a deliberate effort to catch the batter off-guard, this delivery shall be deemed a quick pitch for which the penalty is a ball if the batter does not reach first base safely. 9-3m, Penalty, 1), 2), 3)—In the enforcement of the balk provision, a coach is not allowed to choose an option of advancement. Example: R2, balk followed by a pitch that hits the batter. The coach does not get the option of taking the hit batter because R2 did not advance on the HBP. Page 6, May, 2015 Interpretations On a pitch, the batter and all base runners must advance one base. 9-3c—A pitcher may throw to any base while in the pitching position in an attempt to retire a runner who has acquired the base or in an attempt to retire a runner who is advancing to that base. If the runner is not attempting to steal and the pitcher throws to the unoccupied base, a balk shall be called. (See Penalties, a thru m) 9-3m, Penalty, 2)—On a pickoff where the balk is followed by a wild throw that permits a base runner to advance to or beyond the base to which the runner is entitled, the balk is still acknowledged. The umpire will call the balk in the usual manner but will not call “Time” until all play has ceased. A runner may advance past the base he is to be awarded at his own risk. 9-4a, A.R. 6—during a free trip, a defensive player may warm-up with another defensive player as long as both are in the current lineup.

  • The Musical Number and the Sitcom
    ECHO: a music-centered journal www.echo.ucla.edu Volume 5 Issue 1 (Spring 2003) It May Look Like a Living Room…: The Musical Number and the Sitcom By Robin Stilwell Georgetown University 1. They are images firmly established in the common television consciousness of most Americans: Lucy and Ethel stuffing chocolates in their mouths and clothing as they fall hopelessly behind at a confectionary conveyor belt, a sunburned Lucy trying to model a tweed suit, Lucy getting soused on Vitameatavegemin on live television—classic slapstick moments. But what was I Love Lucy about? It was about Lucy trying to “get in the show,” meaning her husband’s nightclub act in the first instance, and, in a pinch, anything else even remotely resembling show business. In The Dick Van Dyke Show, Rob Petrie is also in show business, and though his wife, Laura, shows no real desire to “get in the show,” Mary Tyler Moore is given ample opportunity to display her not-insignificant talent for singing and dancing—as are the other cast members—usually in the Petries’ living room. The idealized family home is transformed into, or rather revealed to be, a space of display and performance. 2. These shows, two of the most enduring situation comedies (“sitcoms”) in American television history, feature musical numbers in many episodes. The musical number in television situation comedy is a perhaps surprisingly prevalent phenomenon. In her introduction to genre studies, Jane Feuer uses the example of Indians in Westerns as the sort of surface element that might belong to a genre, even though not every example of the genre might exhibit that element: not every Western has Indians, but Indians are still paradigmatic of the genre (Feuer, “Genre Study” 139).

  • A's News Clips, Friday, June 18, 2010 Oakland A's Bullpen Lets Dallas Braden Down in Late Loss to Chicago Cubs by Joe Stiglich
    A’s News Clips, Friday, June 18, 2010 Oakland A's bullpen lets Dallas Braden down in late loss to Chicago Cubs By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune Dallas Braden was lined up for a well-deserved win, and the A's were poised to leave the Windy City with a series victory. That script never played out on a picturesque Thursday afternoon at Wrigley Field. Oakland's bullpen laid an egg in the late innings, and Kosuke Fukudome's walk-off RBI single off Jerry Blevins in the bottom of the ninth gave the Chicago Cubs a 3-2 victory in front of 36,942 fans. "That's a tough way to lose," A's second baseman Mark Ellis said. "Give (the Cubs) credit. They had some good at-bats there at the end." This one had to sting on several fronts for the A's. They could have carried some momentum into St. Louis as they begin a challenging weekend series against the Cardinals tonight. Instead, they watched the Cubs win their first series since taking two of three from the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 25-27. Oakland also spoiled an excellent start from Braden, who threw six innings of one-run ball and left with a lead but still hasn't found the win column since his May 9 perfect game. "Dallas pitched so hard. He gave us a chance," manager Bob Geren said. With the first-place Texas Rangers gathering steam, the A's have lost 11 of their past 16 and are a season-high six games out in the American League West.

The sophmore effort in this baseball/Private Investigator series is another home run!By Ray J. Palen Jr.Released just in time to coincide with the start of another Major League Baseball Spring Training season is the second baseball mystery by author T.T. Monday entitled DOUBLE SWITCH. Monday is the admitted pseudonym of novelist Nick Taylor and he combines his obvious love of baseball with terrific plotting and characters that spring to life on the page.Veteran lefty --- or 'southpaw' --- reliever Johnny Adcock is resigned to the fact that his waning years in the big leagues will be spent as a set-up man. He is a situational relief pitcher typically called on in the latter third of the game to get out tough right-handed batters. Adcock pitches for the fictional San Jose Bay Dogs and they are in the middle of a pennant race in the National League Eastern Division.Outside of the fictional Bay Dogs and their players the majority of the other teams and players are actual major leaguers.
