Happened Monday:
I'm the BU. Bottom of 3rd, home team up something like 14-2. We're something like 55 minutes into the gametime. 1B coach asks me "Is this only the 3rd inning?" "Yes, coach, it certainly is."
About 15 minutes later, after about 6 runs have come in, and we're still bottom of 3, he has a batter who rounds 1B, and dances with the pitcher, who's got her arm ready, about to throw to F3. She does, and BR dives back, safe by a split second.
I ring her up. For the first out of the inning.
He picks her up, says to her, "That's ok, you were safe."
Next pitch, he turns and says, "Are we still in the 3rd inning?"
I say, "Yes, coach, that's why your runner was called out."
Laughing, he says, "And that's why I wasn't in your face about that call, either!"
