If his glove was a foot inside the baseline (which it wasn't) then the batter was more than 4 feet away from the tag becuase one foot was clearly inside the line before the tag attempt and he clearly moved outside the running lane to avoid the tag. So, what you are saying is you would resort to lieing to avoid being one-upped by the manager, when a simple consultation with your PU will result in the proper call, since he has a real good angle on this play.
