You clearly claimed that the umpires judged the BR to be fast and awarded him 1B. No such thing happened. They ruled the ball fair and called the "fast" runner out at 1B.
The difference in softball is that the umpire who made the initial call NEVER loses that call on the field short of a protest. In baseball, apparently the crew chief can make the ruling which is what seemed to happen here.
All you have done is convince me you are full of $hit and have absolutely no interest in intelligent conversation.
Say hi to the piano man!

Sorry i mispoke earlier, I dont memorize every single play that happens in MLB history (I found the video of that play after I posted the description. BUT the point of my earlier post is still pertinent. A play happen, the PU made a call, which was his call to make, and it was overturned.
Just review the last ~10 posts and youll see a number of ppl saying that umps cannot overturn another umps call. I asked if it was different in MLB than ASA, bc I know it happens in MLB, and I gave an example from a few weeks ago that showed a MLB umps having his called overturned.
Do yourself a favor and actually read what I wrote and you'll see I merely respond to whatever ppl post towards me and sometimes post a replying question. When have I ever posted something factual incorrect about the rules of softball?
