Bottom line is that is what the rules say. Call the IP if they apply any foreign substance, other than roisin (resin) with umpire supervision.
Hang on there, Bubba. We ain't talkin' about the hands. You can never place resin on the ball. And there is no question that resin is a foreign substance.
It doesn't matter if you agree with the rule or not. There are several rules I don't necessarily agree with, but I, as an umpire, will enforce them to the letter.
I agree
If you are an umpire, and you aren't enforcing these rules, then you aren't living up to your responsibilities.
I agree, if I see a violation, I will enforce the written rule.
