What about those times like I had last night. 2 outs, bases empty. Ball hit to left field, gets by the outfielder. Runner is trying to leg out a triple. F5 catches the throw and tags a sliding BR right before he reaches the bag. I have been set in position because of my hustle and was just waiting for the play to develop. Big out sell. BR says, "That's a bad call." His teammate says "No, Todd, you were out." Teammate looks at me and says "Blue, that's not your call, you can't call that."

Don't you know that most ballplayers teach mechanics at clinics?
