The LIGHT.....

The LIGHT just came ON ! I think ?......By reading this rule and typing this and speaking to another umpire here at my place of work I would like to present this idea..... I agree and will not go to another for help in this situation unless I personally know my partner from or by a great deal of past expeience with that partner (good looks count to...as in Ms kellerumps case, I'll go with the expierence thing with Mr. kellerumps and FUBLUE)...but since in this situation I did and my partner created a "delayed call" and "placed the batter-runner in jeopardy" as the rule reads I could have and should have "rectified the situation" by "reversing". His call. Now granted I probally would have still peeved off one of the coaches BUT at least I would have a rule to step back on for the basis of my call. Batter returns to bat with a 3-2 count ! What do you think ?
