Base Awards
I'm just a fan here, but I try to make it a point to know the rules. Sitting in the stands last night at a D1 baseball game last night, I observed the following. With a runner at 1st, the pitcher throws a pickoff attempt into the stands. The umps award the runner 2B. I thought that it should have been a two base award: time of throw. The coach for the offense came out and had a brief discussion with the plate ump and then went back to the dugout. Knowing what I know, I would have played the game under protest, but he must have been happy with the explanation. Did I miss something?
