If it feels good, do it?
I got to experience exactly what Blue Ape mentioned...
I am BU. 1 out, no runners on. Pitcher throws a good breaking ball on the outside corner. Batter doesn't swing, PU goes up with the right hand, says "Strike!"....... then turns his body, hollers "Oooooouuuut!" and gives the old chain a good yank...
And of course he never saw the ball missed by the catcher go careening to the backstop. The runner took off, but when he screamed "Out!", she stopped. Catcher stayed with the play, and threw to first in time. PU finally realizes what happened, we conference, and award B-R first as she was placed in jeopardy by the incorrect "out" call. Defensive coach (understandably) wants to have a little chat with my partner.
I've learned many things the hard way...glad this one was my partner.
