Well, I appreciate the reasonable explanation. Of course, for that matter if you're looking up high at the ball, how can you watch for the tag/touch of 2nd base? I'm just being facetious now.
Just because it doesn't make sense to me doesn't mean I'm not willing to do it. But I doubt any explanation could satisfy me. I think this should be BU's call all the way. But who am I? Just some rusty schmuck umpire on an Internet forum.
