Well, if a fielder raises his/her arms, I'll call the blocked ball. If they jump and miss the ball, then I'll call the blocked ball. But if it's within easy reach and there's no danger to the player, I'm not calling a blocked ball.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
