People,
What a great discussion from obviously experienced umps. This is what this board is about and is great. We have all been in the C position and had to make the call Terry1 made and it is tough. Seems to me this is one of the 5% times that the two man system angles fail.
I really do not like to work with umps that ask me to repeat their call rather than what I see (e.g checked swing). For the vast majority, the softball coaches are more reasonable about the occassional wrong call than baseball coaches. I once had a baseball coach literally in my face about a dropped third strike I missed on the second batter and second out of the top of the first inning. (They won the game on a mercy rule.)
Keep the posts coming.
