[B]I had plate the other night with 2 outs and close play @ 1B. BU is set, sees the play, then yells "FOOT" and points to me.
Is this the proper way to ask for help? I expect to be pointed at for help, not "FOOT" yelled at me.
I was @ the 45-foot line and did indeed have a pulled foot, but this confused the defense..."What did he say?" and they started trotting off the field.
In pre-game I said 'look' to me for help on a foot-pull.
Did he have the base is what I say. Or do you have a tag if there's a swipe tag. In either case there's a delayed call by the base umpire. It's the defenses's problem if they're confused. After you gave him the answer did he call the runner safe?
