This play is actually the biggest loophole in the 2 man, in a proper 2 man, the umps will NOT see this. PERIOD. Base ump is sliding to first, with his back to the play, and the Plate guy has fair/foul. the infraction should be missed by both ump if they are doing thier job. That is why this guy does it. He will even do it when the Other team has the 3rd base dugout.
Sorry Rut, I think you have to Call this safe, and explain the problem with the two man system. But to make a call you never saw, what are you going to say in the arguement with the coach? He knows you didn't see it, because HE was watching you.
It is unsportsmanlike, and I can even see you finding a way to eject this jerky coach, but to give an out when you haven't seen it, thats tough.
