Protection of the health and safety of players is indeed the goal, so why not do EVERYTHING reasonable to make that happen? 

 

The difference of opinion is over whether we ought to do "EVERYTHING reasonable" or "everything REASONABLE."

By the way, the case book section on 6.1.6 says, "It is not an official's responsibility to determine if a team has violated a state association's pitching restriction policy."  

The things I write down in the course of a game--substitutions, mound visits, courtesy runners, written warnings to coaches, etc.--support decisions I may make at some point later in the game or document actions I took that may need to be reported, such as disqualifications.  If I'm not going to make any rulings on pitching restrictions, I don't care to write down information pertaining to the rule.
