On Ties...
Try this idea...
A baseball partner and long-time friend suggests this to all of the umpire recruits at our clinics:
"The runner is either coming to a base or going away from the base."
The rules are clear - as always, but sometimes quoting a specific rules isn't too helpful on a banger at first in a tight game. I use this philosophy almost as a religious mantra when working the bases, and it hasn't failed me - yet!
This is especially useful in any ballgame where the bases are closer than 90 feet and the runners a little faster.
I use the GLM count only as a secondary approach.
