Where did I say give two different calls?
Play: R1, R2. Sinking liner to right center. F9 dives for the ball, it hits his glove, he hits the ground and rolls over, he raises his glove -- but there's no ball in it, he picks the ball up off the ground and fires it into second where BR is safe on a close play.
During the entire "dive ... pick up the ball" action, BR went from 6 feet before first to 1/2 way to second, missing the base.
BU can't look away from F9 during that action.
Are you saying that BU's looking after the fact would appease the coach?
Frankly, I'd rather have PU step up and make the call on the appeal.
In theory, theory and practice are the same thing. In practice, they aren't.
