In my game yesterday, no outs, R1 at 1st, 1-1 count. Must have been a hit-and-run, runner is off with the pitch, foul tip (text book perfect foul tip). No throw to 2nd, runner is safe. Defensive coach starts to argue with me that it was a foul ball and runners need to return. Funny thing is earlier in the game I rang up a girl from the other team on a foul tip strike three. I always marvel at the skewed vision coaches, players, and fans have about our work. We make the same call in the same situation and they claim we are biased for the other team.
