1) For foul balls then it is now umpire's judgement on what is 'directly' - Fair enough, since I do only SP it give me more possible outs.
2) Double base - This at least gets rid of an attempted argument from a case I had earlier in the year where the BR rounded 1st but may have only touched the orange part of the bag on his way to a triple. The defense appealed that he missed 1B, I said it was a good argument but called him safe. I might have called him out, but after spending all year reminding player to use the orange part of the bag when running to 1B - I wasn't going to call him out. Plus I didn't have the best angle to see if some of his foot actually touched the white.
