Sounds like you had an umpire with some issues here, but I'd also wonder about your coach. What was he doing when this call was changed? Why did he not protest - PU cannot BY RULE overrule BU on judgement alone. The judgement is not protestable, but the misapplication of the rule (the overruling) is. Also - how were you, the parent, aware of the conversation between PU and catcher - was this relayed to you by catcher ... could it have been exaggerated or twisted (I ask because I have a daughter that age, and it's a possibility). Was coach within hearing when that conversation took place?

If so, and I was coach, there's no question I'd be looking for a TD.

PS - please don't call the base umpire the FU. FU kind of means something else, doesn't it? He's the BU (or 1BU and 3BU if you have more than 1 out there).
