Hey guys sorry if I offended any of you with my comments earlier. Just got a little frustated, could'nt understand how the thread took a total different direction. I will give step by step what happened and what I was thinking at the time
1 out runners on 1st and 3rd, passed ball, ball goes of catcher a to the left, runner from 3rd tries to score, batter steps out of box anout 3 feet, he does not realize ball is behind him, catcher throwns to pitcher covering, from where I was (c-slot) it looks to be pretty much on target. ball hits batter.Plate ump (PU) calls runner safe, I thought it was interference but did not say anything. a coach yells is'nt that interference, PU has look on his face like something weird just happened starts walking out to me,I call time (IMO calling the meeting), I meet him just in front of mound on 3rd base side, He did not ask for help, but by walking out there right after that play I sorta figured that is why he was coming out,I spoke first and said "it looks like interference to me", I say runner on 3rd should be out runner on 1st should go back. He say's"I think he would have been safe so thats how I'm going to call it,I say "it's your call ,but I don't believe thats right"
I will be more open to negative feedback from now on, If my mechanics were out of line in this situation I'll accept that. Once again sorry to offend, I will try to give more info from now on
Mike
