Out, every time.

Rich, I understand what you are saying and agree it's just as likely the throw beat the runner if it's so close it appears to be a toss-up. But if I see what looks like a tie that also means I did not see the ball or tag beating the BR so I will call Safe. I call them as I see them and if I don't judge a ball to have beaten the BR to 1st base I call the BR safe. ...Al
