There are no ties in softball. Either the throw beat the runner, or the runner beat the throw. I'm going to call it as I see it. That being said, just as we seel some calls, I believe players can seel soem plays. A runner who hustles to beat a lazy throw will help sell a "safe" call. An outstanding defensive play can help sell an "out" call, just as a defender bobbling the ball before the throw can help sell a "safe" call. I'm not saying I think of all these things as I make a call, but I do believe on very close plays, player actions have influence how we see things.
