Thanks, One and All
Thanks, I had this situation is a AAAA HS game last night situation.
6th inning 0 - 0 and R1 on 2B with batter attempting "Slap Hit" 2 Strikes and 2 Balls every pitch is an attempt or a pull back then a another attempt and I call Foul, the defensive coach comes out to argue 3rd strike foul bunt out, I say NO and mild discussion, same thing on next pitch and coach returns and questions again, I reply "still foul ball" coach returns to dugout, 3 more foul balls and then, swing and miss, out. Game ends in 8th, home 2 visitor 1 and we leave.
I discussed this with my partner and he said from his view at "C" position the first call could have gone either way but there was no doubt on all the others, I guess I had a similar experience to WMB.
All input appreciated, after all it does come down to umpire judgement.
