Second, His partner got the rule wrong, and he had every right to step in and place the runner at 3rd base where he belonged without any conference. He should just say, "No, that runner gets 3rd base." I agree with what Mike Crowder and mbyron said in their posts. |
There are three sides to every story.
He said.
She said.
And, the truth.
What was said isn't the issue here.
It depends where B/R was at TOT.
Sometimes two heads aren't better than one.
Sometimes two umpires aren't enough.
Ask during the game.
Talk about it after the game.
I know how it works.
I am absolutely, definitely, positive, certain,
