I could not agree with you more. The catcher finishes the job (play)...we do not have this long discussion. In the post game news conference, you can hear (or suggest to yourself) that Doug Eddings may switch back to being a pointer type of umpire because of last night.
I point and have been for the past two seasons because of this exact play like last night that happened to my partner. After watching the whole thing transpire with my partner a few years back and then again with the play last night, is why I will probably always point from now on.

Ditto. After having a similiar play in a game several years ago, now I always point to the batter on a non-caught pitch, works great.
Thanks
David

I can guarantee one thing...in PA where I am if I would point, I wouldn't even smell a post-season game.

That's idiotic.

Rich,
I don't disagree with you. But in all sports around here, if you don't use strict NFHS mechanics, then you will be lucky to get a post-season assignment. If you are lucky enough to get one, then you better know your evaluator really well to move on to another round. Here it's the hammer for both strike and out, as per the signal chart on pg. 70.
