No-win situation for me, but I'm being paid to make the correct call/
Nonsense. You're not the one who screwed up defensively!

It's wherever YOU think, in your best judgment, the runner would have reached had there been no OBS. If it's 3B, it's 3B. If it's home, it's home.

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.
