Ya funny how coaches get things in their heads! I had one that made me chuckle. R1 on first hit toward 2nd base ss covering the bag, close play, runner slides into base hands first I call her out. Coach asks for time and we get together,
Coach: Blue you had her out?
Me: Yes I had her left arm past the base not touching it, then the fielder stepped on the base then her right arm grabbed the base, so there is an out.
Coach: You saw all that in a split second?
Me:Yep that is what we got coach
Coach: wow, guess there isn't anything else for me to ask...but I am going to stand here for a minute to make it look like I am really fighting for the team. Cause if I don't the parents will really be on me.
Me:Ok no problem coach.....
Me: Is that long enough?
Coach: Ya that ought to do it, thanks blue.
It was all I could do to keep from laughing!
