Lot's of good insight on this one. I am glad I posted it originally. I know we got the call right but as shown here with some of the posts, there is always an opinion. During the season I was BU in a D3 game and unbeknown to me I had 2 evaluators in the stands since I have been nominated for move up next season. I had a situation with R1 and R2 so I was in shallow "C". Hard ground ball to F6 so runners are going hard. F6 charges hard and I see R2 hold up on his advance to 3rd just a bit to avoid the INT. F6 takes the ground ball off his glove into his chest and it bounces forward into the path of R2. R2 then jumps over ball in very close proximity to F6. I signal safe so both teams know I saw it. F6 picks it up and retires BR at 1st. After game during dress out, 1 evaluator asked why I didn't call INT on R2. I explained what I saw and stated that he did what he was supposed to have and the possible INT came on a misplayed GB by F6. He told me that was correct and the fact that I gave safe signal was right on. The other evaluator disagreed and wanted the INT called. Those 2 were still arguing when I left 20 minutes later. Just goes to show you that it's not as black and white as some people think.
