What would be the umpires story if a manager came out to question a neighborhood play?
Manager: Blue, he missed the bag by two feet.
U2: But the play was made long before your runner got there.
Manager: So you're saying that F4 doesn't actually have to touch to bag to record the out?
U2: Nope, just close enough
PROTEST!
Guys, I'm trying to understand the old school of thought, I just need to know how to respond, as an umpire, to the neighborhood play call. Logic tells me the manager could protest, and win, this call every time.
Plus, at what level do you start calling it? And how close is close enough?
