Ok...so you say don't safe him, wait and make one call? Here's a situation. Bottom of the 7th, score tied, runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 out, the count is full, and the runners are going on the pitch. B1 hits grounder to F6 who throws to 2nd for the force. Runner beats the initial throw for the force out but overslides the bag. R1 from 2nd is trying for home for the game winning run. You telling me, you don't make a safe call on the FORCE out to give the fielder a chance to get R1 out at home???? WRONG!
If he was out you would call it immediately, why not the safe? If he was out no need for throw home, inning over. Isn't the safe call just as important? Bottom line Newbie Scott, there seems to be no PROPER MECHANIC here, just opinions. And this has been JMO.
