PU: I didn't see the pitch, coach. As you requested, I was watching to see if the runner left early. She didn't.
Do that once, and I guarantee the DC will either shutup, or read you the riot act. Either way, he's all yours.   |
You stole my thunder......
A buddy of mine and I were working single umpire games on adjacent fields. My game ended early due to a mercy rule, so I was watching my buddy work.
The only diffrence was, he made absolutely no call on the pitch down the middle, but told the defensive coach that the runner on first did not leave early. The coach was so stunned, the look on his face was priceless......
