C'mon, y'all know I couldn't care less about what coaches think.

However, I maintain that calling "Safe! Out!" looks like you're rushing the call. Let the entire play unfold, not just little bits of the play.

Consider this sitch... Tag play at 2B. A runner comes into the bag standing up and is tagged after reaching the base. However, the runner's momentum carries them off of the bag while the fielder still has their glove on the runner (yes, with the ball held securely inside the glove). Would you call "Safe! Out!" in that case?

Let the entire play unfold, THEN make your call.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
