Walked over to my partner and politly asked him what he saw, "nothing" was his answer. Great. Thats two of us.
Being the senior guy I went over to the coach and said he could either start yelling now or accept the fact that neither of us saw the tag and therefore R3is safe.
Coach said "I can't believe this crap", turned around and walked back to the dugout. I wasn't as nice to my partner after the game as the coach was to us.[/QUOTE]
#1 Why would you ever walk over to the coach and tell him start yelling.... neither one of us saw the tag ???????????????
#2 It is my understanding that in most areas, the PU is the UIC, being the more senior as far as I know doesn't supersede anything.
#3 After you "walked" over to your partner, HE should have signaled safe perhaps with some sort of a verbal " runners safe on the appeal" and resume the game.
It appears to me that you took a situation that isn't all that uncommon and made it worse. If anyone needs to be denutted, it wasn't the PU
