ok ok. i was trying to keep it simple and giving the basics of the play b/c it was slightly more complicated.
what really happened was that i was in C position...might have been 1st and 2nd or 1st and 3rd...cant remember right now. in any case, I called out R1 for being out of the baseline b/c thats what i thought I saw based on the field layout etc., (obvioulsy i wasnt in the basepath so I had to make that judgment from an angle )and as i said i didnt clearly see a tag or no tag. after the play, when i went to get a closer look at the grass and basepath and their layout, i determined he wasnt out of the baseline based on from where i remembered R1 taking his steps to 2nd when trying to avoid the tag. so i went to PU to ask if we should do anything and through the course of the quick meeting he told me the tag was never put on. so then i HAD to reverse my call. not that it changes the situation too much, but i hope it clears up a little bit of why this play looks so bad. sorry for the confusion, but as for that part of the question i will take DG's advice the best...make the call and stick with it.
essentially though, i'm really asking about whether i put the runners in thier proper spots or not based on the call reversal...
and on that note, like before, what do you do if you dont get a good look at a play and you know you need help from your partner (when possible) but the ball is still live with other things going on and you cant really make a sound safe or out call? you cant just let a runner run around the bases and determine later what to do..can you? I know its infrequent, but it happens. is it maybe an unspoken rule not to go to your partner and just make a call to your best ability?
