Oh, good. So I only need to take my focus off my job when someone thinks that another call is obvious or blatant. Now we have a rule with attempted enforcement, sometimes. Who decides what is obvious or batant? So what happens when a coach thinks it's obvious or blatant and I don't?
I can see it now. Batter squares to bunt and, in the opinion of a coach, is blatantly out of the box. He, checks his swing.
PU: "Did he go?" BU: "Beats the F*@# out of me, but I think his foot was out of the box."
Just the fact that the other side of this issue has to try so hard to come up with a situation to support their position should tell you something.
