Sparky answers:
1.) I call a strike, if I think it's a strike.
You didn't answer the question, Sparky. What you "think" isn't the rule book answer. Shame.
2.) As perfect as humanly possible.
What a cop out. Yes or no?
3.) Use my bst judgement from the position I am located.
So then you make a call without realling seeing a tag. Shame.
4.) Runner establishes his own baseline. There is three foot given on an attempt to avoid a tag. If by my judgement the runner runs more than 3 feet away from the fielder to avoid a tag . . . the runner is out. I use my best judgement.
That's not what the rule book says, Sprarky. How come you don't call it like the rule book?
5.) The possibility of the ball and player arriving at the EXACT, PRECISE same time is near impossible. I make the call to the best of my ability.
You must have super human vision, Sparky. Time gaps shorter than those discernable by the human eye happen all the time. What do you do? Hint: calling to the best of your ability is a copout not covered in the rule book.
6.) If a coach leaves his spot to question a call . . . during our meeting I'll ask him to call Time out on the next question before he comes to me. If he disobeys my request . . . I'll then send him to the dugout for the rest of the game.
BZZZZZZZZZT. Sorry Sparky. Ever read 9.02(a)comment?
7.) Pretty much the same thing. I warn him not to repeat the action. I'll check the ball. If in my judgement he intentionally distorted the ball by the action . . . he's ejected.
You have to be kidding. A pitcher receives the ball from the outfield, wipes the crud off on his shirt and you want to check the ball? Really? Every time?
Ever hear of OOO?
Sorry, Sparky. Apparently you don't call by the rules. By your own standard, you must be a hypocrite. Or maybe you're new and just don't realize that the learning process continues.
Hope you stick with it, Sparky. Work, read, listen and learn. You'll make it.
