Guess what?

That being said, I have been told to put up the Delayed dead ball, say 'obs.' loud enough to be heard by the closest player, and then follow the play.
I will wait until the play is done to decide where the runner will end up. If it's a bang-bang play at third and the runner is out, who am I to decide at first base that the runner has a double by hte hit?

Huh.....the umpire?

Has anyone in here ever heard of not making the call until you know what has happened?

Ever hear of doing the job the right way? You say you know how it is to be done, but blatantly show that you intend to ignore it. IMO, that is not the sign of a good umpire.
