I got the worst call comment from a coach today during a PONY tournament.
Tie game and bottom of the seventh inning. R1 is at second base with two outs. DC yells to her catcher form the dugout to request time. F2 asks for time and I grant it. DC comes out of the dugout and yells to the outfielders to move in a couple of steps.
As the DC heads back towards the dugout I let her know that she was being charged with a conference. Here's how the conversation continued:
DC: What do you mean I'm being charged with a conference? You can't do that, my catcher was granted the timeout not me!
Me: It became a charged conference when you came onto the field and gave instructions to your players
Coach: That's the worst call ever. Don't think you've heard the last of this; I'll be talking to the UIC when this game is over
Me: That's fine coach but for now I need to know who you will be replacing your pitcher. That was your fourth conference.
B2 smacks a gapper to right-center field on the first pitch from the new F1 bringing in the winning run.
My partner and I leave the field hearing comments of how I had won the game for the other team. Yada Yada Yada.
