A few games ago I (PU) had one of the slow rollers that the catcher followed to foul territory then picked up - foul... then 3B coach begins ranting and the entire crowd did also.. which was absurd.. it was slow moving and definately foul and almost got him ejected.. a case of a coach getting their clocked cleaned and taking it out on the blues. They were getting destroyed so I went easier on him than I should have. Coaches see what they want to see out of bias and desire to assist their team IMO.
It was Oakdale High cleaning their clock btw, (A Top Nationally ranked team and lead by pitcher headed to UCLA or someone else big ...google Oakdale High). Was a real treat to work the plate with such a talented pitcher.
