I had a similar situation last season.

My partner, PU, stepped into the basepath to clean the plate, while a runner was advancing from 3rd (he assumed a Bang, Bang double play at 1st that wasn't).

He litterally knocks the runner down, the catcher receives the ball, walks over to the runner and tags him out. My partner calls him out. Talk about a $hit house.

After the game, this guy tries to chew me out for not calling the batter out at 1st. I said the runner beat the throw by a full step. He says, then you should have YELLED safe, so he would know.

Yell Safe on a play that is not even close ? Some guys have never looked in a mirror.

Let me add:

About 50% of our association have scratched themselves from working with this guy.
He doesn't show up for at least half the games he is assigned.
Why is he still in our association ? That's a whole other discussion !
