Two teams trying to stay in the hunt for playoff spots met tonight.
The team trailing and trying to crawl back into the game, has 1 out,
runner on 1B. Ball hit to right center, which the right fielder grabs
and fires back to 1B just beating the retreating runner. I gave a sell
out. On his way back to his third base side dugout, 1B coach says,
"blue, thats the worse call I have ever seen." Me, "The worse call?"
Coach, "Yes, the worse." Me, "Damn". Let it drop and return to my
in between inning position. Two innings later still trying to
get back into the game, runner on 1B [hefty, actually huge] girl on 1B.
Ball is hit to LF down the line. 1B coach, same guy, telling his
runner to go to 3rd. She is thrown out by five steps. As he passes me
while I am cleaning the pitcher plate, I remark, "Coach, that was the
worse call I have ever seen!". He replies, "blue, I believe your
right, I went one up on you."
