jcone,
So I should of killed it, not made an initial ruling, discussed with partner, then made a ruling. Ok, that makes good sense. Thanks.
Now, if we decided that we needed to place runners at first, second and third, I'm sure the defensive coach would express that a safe call was made and that nobody knows (but the runner) why runner abandoned second. Our only defense would be that the BU did not verbalize the call. I must admit that I am uncomfortable with this. Again, I am not arguing with this approach, I'm not ignoring the advice that MC gave me, I am only saying that a call was made, the offensive coach saw it and he should of communicated with his runner to stay at second. If I was the coach, I would of been yelling at my runner to stay at second. Bottom line is the kid abandoned the base, for whatever reason, and it seems he should be out for doing it. This is just my thoughts, but I obviously could be wrong.
Just read the posts after I typed the above information. Guys don't take me the wrong way I am not trying to argue, but do most of you think we should of placed runners at first, second and third? If so, then I will deal with defensive coach and explain that the miscommunication by BU caused runner to abandon base. If this is right, then I will sale it and hopefully he will accept it or else.
