Not trying to make excuse, I did go toward the 45 foot line, all the way to the dirt of the mound, but the first basemans late stretch blocked me. I guessed blocked by the first basemans leg and body is a better word than straightlined. And yes, this was the first base coach, and no I usually will not grant an appeal by the asst. but in this instance, I granted the appeal because I did get blocked. I wanted to just make sure we got the call right. I guess I shouldnt have granted the appeal, but isnt getting it right the most important thing?
