I'm actually going to disagree with you there. Yes, both are judgment calls, but to me, "she pulled her foot" is very different from "she beat the throw." While both are contesting a judgment call, the first statement is "I think you missed a piece of the puzzle, Blue." The second statement is simply "I don't agree with you."

The first statement will almost always prompt me to go to my partner. He or she will hopefully have had the angle and the awareness. The second statement will almost always get an "out" call.

Okay, just kidding about the out call, but you know what I mean.

As for John's post, if a coach states that they want to file a protest on my partner's call, I might do what John does and nip it in the bud right then and there. At that point, what do we have to lose?

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
