Speaking of "baiting", did anyone see the IP called on the Gator's pitcher in the 1st?

U3 made the call from behind 2B which negated a put out at 1B.

Coach Walton comes out holding two fingers about an inch or two. Apparently, he was asking the umpire how far was her foot off the ground.

Doesn't make any difference coach, off the ground is off the ground and it's a leap. Replay showed it was, without any doubt, a leap.

Now think about it, just what can the coach use that information for other than questioning the umpire's judgment.

Coach: How high was the foot off the ground, blue?
Umpire: Oh, about an inch or two.
Coach: An inch or two? You tell me you can tell her pivot foot was off the ground by an inch from way back there? She's moving away from you, how can you tell?
Umpire: Well, maybe it was three or four inches.
Coach: Three or four? You just said you saw it one or two inches off the ground! Which is it, blue, one, two, three or four.....or are you now going to say five or six? Are you sure you saw any space between her toe and the dirt?

Nope, there is absolutely nothing good that can come from placating the coach with a number in a situation like that.
