NEWS ALERT...on the DODGERS/KNIGHTS GAME

What was going around the league as a wise coaching move by Coach Dazzio (walking two batters and loading the bases) -which turned out to be a game saver was lets say a JOINT decision.....All the applause, high fives and the hugs that Coach Dazzio was given after the game needs to be sent to the one as well who advised Coach Dazzio the idea...  The call came from Assitant Joe McLean.  ...so, next time you see Coach McLean, tell him ..GOOD CALL....Overall, good Coaching on the Dodgers and the move worked..... Kudos to Dazzio and McLean and the Dodgers ..Nice play Dutton..
 

Week 1 (Opening Week) is complete and....

Week 1 left us with only 2 remaining  undefeated teams.   Talk about balance!   Got early games only during the week due to testing and looks like some good matches.

OTM Trophy will have trophies and plaques this year for all the baseballers!.stay tuned for deals on Vestavia Village.com

 the Diamondbacks pitched very well and handled the White Sox in Game 1 of the season...Great crowds were out to witness the Opening Games of 2010.

In the Nightcap, Dodgers handled the Bulls using pitching, hitting and defense....The Bulls have a break this Saturday (they have a bye week) and this is a good time for them to regroup...

Dodgers and DBacks take the opening day wins..Predictions are 2-0 for Vestavia Village...

Mondays Rain Outs move to Wednesday...

Baseball Starts today!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Question..What is the call...

Ok.. what is the call..

Runner on first and second and both runners takes off full speed and batter pops it up (real high)..the Ump calls an Infield Fly Rule ..with both runners running past both bases and heading to 3rd and home they hear the call...

It is dead ball and they automatically get their first and second bases back or the batter is out and the runners are at their own risk even when the call is made by the umpires?  

I have heard both ways that the runners are not automatically sent back and the play is still going..just the announcement is stated and the batter is out..what is the call..this would have to do with a high fly ball to the infield when the runners had the ability to run farther than normal..

confused. and two umpires have stated two different answers.. all in fun but interesting..
