Well I didn't get the call to work those games, and I'm sure not gonna be too critical of those who did. Overall they do a fine job.

I may though not have agreed with some of the plate calls, but I got to see the replays.

All I will say is on the second HB in question, where the ball rolled off the batters leg out of the box, I beliieve when the ball contacted the knob of the bat, or the batter (which ever you would have called), the PU came up with a Dead Ball Signal (and possibly call) BEFORE the ball hit the runner. If that were the case the ball off the leg would be a mute point. Dead ball, batter awarded first.

I watched for that on the replays, and was convinced that was the "chain of events". I just called what I saw though, I could be wrong!
