blue just last Tuesday who told me the day before had been
calling a Dixie State Tournament and balked in the winning
run in the bottom of the 7th because the pitcher took his
signs from the catcher off the rubber. I was shocked, and
of course he argued he made the right call.
The umpire should be ashamed of himself for making such a call in the 7th inning.

If the pitcher did it in the 7th then he also did it earlier in the game and if he wants to booger pick do it then.

Don't wait until a game ending situation and make such a stupid call.

Sorry but that's very very poor umpiring.

Thanks
David
