I guess the ump should have waited for the player to show him the ball, but what's the big deal? When I played and later coached, that kind of reversal never bothered me. Frankly, I've never had a problem with it as an ump, either. Everybody in the park could see the ball on the ground. How could the runner be anything but safe?
