I feel this could have been a healthy discussion, without the insults. I don't know why some feel the need to get personal just because someone disagrees with them. I do agree with Tony, I am not going to award an extra base on a simple OBS call. I can't foretell the future so I don't know if she would have made the extra base or not. In an extreme case where the fielder knocks down the runner or "Sits" on them. You may award a base or bases you feel the runner could have made. Use a little common sense guys, it is not an all or nothing situation. That is why they say "in the umpires judgment."
