Regardless of whether or not the plate ump should have been watching the play or not, the field ump is a poor umpire.
He boots the call at first by not being in position, then when he goes for help and is told what happens he basically says I’m not taking the chance of this game going into extra-innings so, ball-game. I wouldn’t at all be surprised if this guy really did see the pulled foot and just blew it off to get the game over with, and then went to you to try to cover his a$$ after getting called on it. I really wish there wasn’t such a shortage of umpires in some areas so guys like this wouldn’t be able to get a job above T-ball.
I think after this game I would be making a call to my assignor and kindly ask not to be partnered with this guy again.
