What's this?

I don't think sothe ump is supposed to give the delayed dead ball signal


As soon as he/she sees the illegal pitch. It's the same hand signal on an obstruction call. So technically they should make the call no matter what the end result is everytime he/she sees it. I understand saying what good does it do to call it on a ball because the end result is the same, but he should have been calling it every time he saw it. As the announcers pointed out, he didn't. And yesterday the ump wasn't giving the signal until after the ball crossed the plate. I think this article is saying that there isn't a way to accurately account in a scorebook for how many total were called because if it was a ball anyway then it goes down in the book as a ball not illegal pitch.

  It is not a reviewable call anyway -- AirborneHokie96 04/11/2022 06:55AM
  This is not a S/B call. It is a rule interpretation ** -- rtp_hokie67 04/10/2022 11:39PM
  Help me out... -- HokieJack 04/11/2022 07:11AM
  The rule is clear. It was the timing of the calls that was the problem. ** -- william floyd 04/11/2022 07:26AM
  Timing is not part of the rule... -- HokieJack 04/11/2022 07:31AM
  Timing was a problem. The call was made on strikeouts and outs. -- william floyd 04/11/2022 07:45AM
  He was calling it every time the FSU 3rd base coach whined about it.. -- SWVAhokiegirl 04/11/2022 09:27AM

  No, their pitches were legal. ** -- william floyd 04/11/2022 07:46AM
