I propose that it's better to call what you need to see.


Tim.
He better tag him if I am watching the play.

Now if I am in the middle of the diamond and I am a ways away I am not going to nit pick a tag to the millimeter. But if he wants to get a tag he better keep his glove down so that I can call the player out. I have never had a problem calling it that way my entire career. And if you know how to make a tag, you do not need to stay in the path of the runner.
