Jr College game yesterday.
I am PU, no runners on, no outs. Team A player lines a shot into the left-center gap, easy stand up double. Ball comes back into the pitcher, she asks for time and appeals the runner missing first (she did), my BU partner calls the out.
Here comes the coach from the third base coaches box to complain. He rants and raves for a few minutes, then returns. The funny thing is that this coach
teaches his runners to cut first base short to get to second quicker, assuming that neither umpire or the other team is watching. I say that because in every game that I have had this team in the last seven years, I have seen his runners do this, but the other teams never seem to catch it...until this game.
I had to work really hard to keep a straight face while all of this was going on!
