Ball in the dirt.
Pitcher tosses a ball in the dirt. The batter makes NO attempt to get out of the way. I don't have a clue what the catcher is doing. It plunks batter hard --> HBP, award first base. It plunks him softly --> Dead Ball, get out of the way, ball. The runner goes into 2B standing. Considering common sense and fair play, do you always make the runner return to first?
The OC coach doesn't like my call and tells me that I shouldn't be partial. I let the pitcher get away with a balk and penalized his runner. I need somebody to bail me out? I request a group huddle to figure out what I should tell the OC. Please be kind cause the coach really doesn't like me and I may have to toss him.
