Runner on 2nd and I am in the "C" position. Ball hit to F5 and he looks back runner. Runner comes a ways down line which makes F5 react to him momentarily.
After chasing the runner back he hurries a throw to F3 who has to stretch for a weak *** throw.
You are in "C" position area because of potential run-down/tag play there. Now you have to turn and determine if the foot is on or off the base.
This is what I am doing: I figure the PU is at home because of a potential base hit and play at the plate (plus we have signaled this before-hand). I can't quite see the foot on or off the base (because my eye sight and self-expressed experience is as good as Garth's/Tee's).
I make a quick look at the PU to see if he is watching the play. If he is, I ask him what he saw. If he is picking his butt next to the dugout, I make the call at the best discretion I have of the play and make it hard.
"Shock and Awe"...get ready for some Shock from the manager/players, but Awe them with the call.
