Re: Re: here is the situation that bothers me

[/QUOTE]I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with Rich and nine01c on this occasion.

Well, I guess we'll just have to disagree. Over the years, I was taught to ALWAYS call BR OUT! since it is CLEAR (to me) that he is OUT if 1B is occupied with less than 2 outs. This mechanic has been taught at three different clinics I attended.

Even though F2 "should" know the count and that BR is OUT (because 1B is occupied), verbalizing this fact can prevent a headache by stopping unnecessary play.

Does anyone know what students at the umpire schools are being instructed to do in this case? Or at the college level?
