I think you guys are mis-reading Cajun's post. He didn't stay that he didn't make the call or wouldn't make the call. He is just bringing a light-hearted post to the board, talking about a play that just doesn't seem fair - but you've got to make the call anyway.
I know where he is coming from; I had one of those calls a few years ago. Varsity District Championship game, girl squares to bunt. Pitch is right at her. She pushes the bat at the ball, maybe trying to bunt it; maybe trying to protect herself. She does neither and gets nailed in the ribs.
She is flat on her back; tears in her eyes. I looked down at her and said, "Young lady, I know that hurts like hell, but its going to hurt even more when you find out I have to call a strike on you!"
She smiled; got up and dusted herself off, and got back in the box, ready to battle again.
