This is a good, direct analogy that I'm surprised no one has brought up. However, I still think the location of the ball still has some influence over my award (see my previous reply).
What surprises me more is how seldom I see an umpire signal DDB in situations as mcrowder described.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
