This is just as bad as reversing your call. No matter what happens you end up looking bad in someone's mind. Usually, when a player takes off for first it because he realizes the ball was fair and he better get moving. Usually. depending upon the level of ball.

I think it was Derek Jeter that faked getting hit by the ball last year and got on base. I used to tell players all the time, hop around or act like your in pain if you get hit but, don't start running because I am assuming you thought it was fair and are trying to beat it out.

Just about anyway you rule on something you don't see though, makes you look bad. Thats comes with the job.
