You gotta call what you see. Calling what is wanted will ruin your credibility as an umpire.
you..."should NOT have seen it" and "effected the outcome" There is the "TON of poo". The batter should not have committed the infraction, plain and simple! It was the illegal act that "effected the outcome" not your call!
"But Blue, how can you see him out of the box?, ain't no box there!" (I have heard this before) reply...There may not be a drawn off box, but I can show you where his foot was!
Good call Blue, Welcome to the board!
