Greg, when you are working alone and must make a pickoff call or steal call from behind the plate, call what the people in Cleveland saw. That is, if the throw is good and beats him, he's out unless you UNDOUBTEDLY saw a miss. If the throw is bad and there's a swipe tag, high tag, etc, call him safe.

Reward the good play, that's what the people in Cleveland saw. Forget the jeers when working a 1 man crew and calling plays 90 ft and beyond. If a coach comes to argue a call like this, he's stupid and needs to get into the dugout quickly. Don't let discussions like that persist when working alone.

Just my opinion,

Steve
