OK
I will ask. If you as BU saw this play as I described, would you:
A. call interference, under FED 8-4-2c. Ring up the BR and eject R1 for throwing equipment.
B. call runner out on the tag by F4 and consider the contact incidental. Ignore the tirade and tossed equipment.
I guess I am manifesting an inferioriy complex here. I have been intending to join the local organization of officials that is sanctioned to do all Texas UIL games. But I have not because I don't feel that I have the experience as yet. But now my son is playing HS ball now and I have seen some very mediocre officiating in alot of these games.
These forums are very informative and I learn much from the likes of Tee, Garthb, Carl, RBS and numerous others. I just dont't feel we should categorize umpires by the level of baseball that they officiate. I guess my post came off a bit too sarcastic and probably as umpire bashing. That was not my intent.
I have been intimidated by the "BIG DOGS" (not my nomenclature)on these sites and also the ones I know personally. No more. I am as capable as they are.
Mike
