Batter's Out!

I am only referring to the "Batter's Out!" call after a DTS, w/ 1B occupied and less than two out.

I sat on the fence about whether it was appropriate or not. I also believed it was coaching. I wasn't actually coaching, I was making the right call. The call became easier to make over time. I found that I was more alert and in touch w/ a common game situation. It made me a better umpire.

Its tough trying to rememeber where/when/who provided me with the info about a correct DTS mechanic on this website when so many threads have been devoted to the subject. So I will link one of many similar discussions: Dropped 3rd Stike Fiasco

Edited to delete "until I finally figured out that I was wrong" from 2nd sentence.
