It was a lose-lose situation for almost everyone
It's funny, then ego part of me was glad to see that guy fall flat on his...
But, as I've said all along, to respect the game is our duty. I felt bad for the kids playing and the coach who clearly chose the wrong words, but was very right.
I'm not sure what more he could have done after kicking it and allowing enough time to pass before "trying to make the right call." Yes, he got the call right, but it was his error that caused it. (I know the catcher thought it was a force, but you know what I mean.) This is going to be one of those head scratchers that I'm going to use when I'm teaching.
