Windy, believe me, I am all for getting the call right but, once the BU made his decision based upon what he thought he saw, (instead of asking for help immeaditally), he put the lid on that turkey.

This was not a flagrant drop of the ball or miss of the tag or base, it was a bang bang close play. For his partner to come out on a play like this to say that the pitcher missed the base (or something similar), I believe causes more problems and is showing up his partner.

Should we now suggest that the BU come in and ask the PU if he clearly saw the pitch he just missed?

Again I am all behind you on getting the call right however, in this situation I have to go along with Rich.

You done good Gordon.
