Let's try to reconstruct this as a lesson is '$*&% happens' so be prepared.
1. #14 scores easily. Turns and picks up the bat. Looks up and see runner & throw approaching plate.
2. PU is close to point of plate. Observes #14 score & on-deck hitter go to expected place (3BLE) to guide approaching runner.
3. PU reads play & starts moving to 1BLE. Does not anticipate previous runner that had cleared the bat t5o step back toward plate to signal approaching runner.
4. PU tangles with previous runner and is unable to reach desired position & is distracted. Likely partially blocked from play. Misses what should have been a fairly easy call.
What can we learn from this, orher than expect the unexpected?
My take: PU (Dave Y.) was too determined to reach a specific spot 1bLE that he lost his window of opportunity to adjust to the changing situation.
Let's have your thoughts as a group please.
