Wouldn't keeping the other teammates away be an indicator as to the umpire's judgment of R3 possibly leaving early? I'd tend to think so. How does an umpire prevent such an incident from occurring without showing his hand before the cards are played?


Just my opinion,

Steve;

This is not a recommendation, just an observation of big dogs.

The way that a big dog would prevent this "cluster boink" and all of its following bad or difficult decisions is:

Big dogs often make judgement calls based on which will cause them the least amount of manure, not what by what actually happened. Therefore, the big dog would assess that calling R3 out would create too many problems and instead call him safe. That leads to much fewer problems, (just one mad team), hence we don't have any of these other decisions to make! :o)
