While BU in the B positon I had a play where R1 went from first to 2nd base on a steal. When the catcher threw to 2nd base, F6 took the throw and as the ball beat the runner to the base and just when the tag was to be applied ....F4 moved over in front of the bag blocking my view. Even with the lean and look I never saw a tag applied.
Conversation with coach:
Coach:
C'Mon blue, what game are you watching, didn't you see the ball beat the runner to second?
Myself:
Sure did coach, it was a great throw and had your second baseman not blocked my view I probably would have seen the tag. Never saw a tag, no choice but to call F1 safe. I never guess an out.
Was the runner out....probably.
