I know I asked but this seems like a situation ripe for an arguement. I'm standing at home plate watching the runner touch the plate and then taking a couple of steps down the third base line around the pitcher to make a call at second......guarantee the defensive coach is asking me why I'm not in position to call the play where the ball is.
