I can deal with the "looked foul" concept on a moving ball. Carl makes the same point. That's how it's going to be called. It's real world. Also, any coach will view the call as correct or incorrrect based solely on whether it's to his adavantage and half the people in the park will be on your case no matter what. And as others have pointed out, the ball is far, far away and the touch is too fast to get a perfect look anyhow.


So let's lighten up, there's no game in progress, no real call to be made, and get back to the "let's get technical 'cause it's fun" part of the program . . .

R1 - batter lays one down the 3B line - R1 sees the ball there so he stops at 2B - BR stops at first - the ball stops a foot short of the bag in the contested position - F5 just stands looking at the ball - all action has ceased - call will not affect an outcome - U1 (his call to the base) comes up, takes a good look, and calls ????
