Fair or foul is an easy call.(well not easy but)
if the plate umpire called it a foul its a foul no matter what. (if hes wrong he has to eat it) runners go back and the batter has the foul counted to his count.
what was the base umpire doing watching the ball anyway? its not his call.
I also have a question on the dented bat issue, Is a dented bat allowed used in a NIF/ISF game as long as it passes thru the bat ring? In ASA if the bat is dented in any way its out, get rid of it because its not to be used in the game. small dent or large dent its out. If the player wants to complain that he spent $400.00 for that bat just last week, theres nothing I can do to help him, sorry.
Also by dent Im looking for a dent not a pin size mark.
thanks
