I don't know WCB...

Windy,
I usually agree with you on the "get the call right" wagon but I have to question you on this one. When in the B/C positions, I discreatly check my partner for some sort of indication that the fielder was on/off the bag (we pre-game this). If I have no indication from my partner, the fielder tags the bag a second time, I have used my assets available to determine that the BR is safe.

If my partner comes out to offer unsolicited advice to me after I have made a call, we will have words about it. If I have a question about the accuracy of my call, I have an obligation to utilize all my available resources to get the call correct. I also have an obligation to be in the proper position to see the play. In this case Gordon did the proper thing.

Gordon - good call and I would have called the same thing.
