Thanks for the reply, refreshing to see one thats not slamming someone. I understand the "expected call". But it also seems that this wasnt a routine "expected play - second baseman off balanced to apply a tag- So as I have been told by someone that "No umpire of any ilk would ask for help on a call that is this basic. That is the major difference between umpires that work "real" (tm) baseball and small diamond guys." I will A2D

One can A2D is they like, but don't tell me that, go to the one who's a little higher than us - the guy who MADE the call! Did he ask for help - no. And the call at first first the other night? no. and etc.,
Call it "real" baseball or not, (well at least the Cardinals didn't) but the Astros aren't complaining.
And, BTW, the ones who ask for help, that's the small diamond guys ... that's why you don't see it on TV!

*Disclaimer for young umpires - I don't mean to suggest that umpires can't ask for help; however, on a basic call, make the call.
