| Does it matter which base you are on when you lead off? At first you can argue you need a bigger lead than third. Well what does everyone think

| a lead off will be called if a runner leaves a base before contact is made with the ball and that runner will be called out.
so the answer is. No anticipation step is allowed

| You may be surprised to find that there are rules for Slo Pitch
SPN Rule 8 Section 11 indicates "If a baserunner fails to keep contact with the base to which he is entitled UNTIL a pitched ball has bounced in front of, reached or passed the home plate / strike mat or is batted, the ball the baserunner is DECLARED OUT.
Baserunners who have left the base legally (after a pitched ball has bounced in front of, reached or passed the home plate / strike mat) but the ball has not been hit, are NOT DECLARED OUT , must immediately return to their base and the ball is dead.

| You may not approve of the umpire's discretion. It seems like there is some confusion around the rule at this point. Hopefully it will be crystal clear next year.

| The term "lead off" is a baseball/hardball term. When the pitcher is standing on the mound with the ball the runner leads off.
There are NO lead offs in slopitch. Pitcher on the mound runner is on the base.
Runner can "anticipate" when the ball is pitched and lands in front of the plate - when ball passes home plate - when the ball is hit.
If he runs when the ball is in the air and not to the plate - he's out and play is dead - no pitch.

| Think about this one:
1 out, runners on 1 and 3. Ball hit to RF. Ball hits fielders glove, pops out without him having any control, he kind of bobbles/juggles it around (which you can clearly see the ball the whole time) and then finally catches it and securely has it. Batter is called out on the catch (2nd out). Runner at 1 takes off after initial contact with the glove. Runner at 3 waits until the ball is fully secured and then takes off to home. Runner from 1 is standing on 3 and runner from 3 is long past home already. Other team yells that runner didn't tag at 1, then throw the ball to 1 and umps calls out.
Am I not correct in saying that a base runner can take off on initial contact with a fielders glove?
If the runner is deemed to have left early and the ball goes back to 1st for the out well after the runner from 3 has crossed home, its still and out the run doesn't score?

| Yes, you can leave once ball touches fielders glove.
If not he could bobble the ball all the way to the infield.
If ump calls out at 1st then the ump was of the opinion that the runner left early and the runner from 3rd does not count as a run. Imagine if it counted and it was the winning run - no way.
Surprisingly they is logic in the rules

| How about this one.
The runner misses 3rd base and keeps running, goes past the commitment line and then goes back to 3rd after his teammates yell at him. Opponent then tags him (while he is on 3rd base) or throws home and touches the plate, is he out or safe?

Throw to plate is off line, catcher comes off plate and catches ball and proceeds to tag runner between commitment line and home
Safe or out?

It says "A base runner may not be tagged out between the commitment line and the scoring line".

| I'm curious as to what might be the proper interpretation of the rule.
Ground ball was hit to the shortstop, and a runner was on 2nd. Runner held up enough to let the SS attempt to field the ground ball, but he missed and in rolled into the outfield. As the runner then proceeded to run by the SS, he very lightly grazed him, and the SS argued that he was interfered with.
As far as I understand the rule, once the ball passed the SS he no longer had a right to the base path...but is that the correct interpretation? The runner definitely didn't hinder the SS's ability to make the play, and he most certainly didn't graze the SS intentionally (he did his best to avoid contact altogether, but the SS's momentum was going forward after the missed play).
Answers please!

| The rule book indicates that if the contact by the runner was unintentional and the defender has had the opportunity to play the ball - then the play continues and runner is not out.
Smiley Guy seems to be making the point that contact was unintentional. I'm sure the runner was on his team. If the ump agreed - then play ball

| During a game with a runner on 3rd with a big righty up started 2 steps behind 3rd base (towards outfield fence). Didn't take a running start or anything. So if anything it's a disadvantage. Asked me if it was allowed, as the umpire had allowed it. My understanding was that the runner was supposed to maintain contact with the bag.... But I'd never really heard of this before. Is it allowed or just something the ump didn't notice/know.
I wasn't there to hear the explanation so who knows.

| Looks like the Ruskies were up to their old tricks. They were upset with Warren Beatty's film "Reds" (circa 1981)
(Blumpkin you missed this bit of useless info)
Beatty produced, co wrote and directed the film. Story of an American Communist who failed to intro Communism to the US. The Ruskies were just getting even with Beatty

| Come to think about it the 2016 Champs (DST) also call themselves the "REDS" - i wonder if they had any communicating with the Ruskies. Especially around playoff time.
I suggest an Executive investigation. Oh, wait a minute I think there is a Presidential connection with DST. We need an independent investigation.

Runner is safe on 2nd ..... he starts arguing with the ump and gets tossed. The team uses a courtesy runner so the umpire doesn't give them give them an out. Is that the correct call? Wouldn't think it would be allowed

| Correct call. Only matters if the thrown out player comes around to bat again. If you have a sub to replace then that is allowed. If not it is an auto-out. Side note I believe that NSA you can't walk a batter to get to an auto out as well. SPN and SPO you can.
