This looks like the perfect place to insert this story - I saw this while watching the CWS over the weekend.
I had noticed the PU occasionally took an extra second or two before
making his calls. Pitch comes in - half swing. F2 hearing nothing
appeals to BU (yeah - I know he's supposed to ask PU to go to BU, but
that's not what he did). BU (off camera) apparently rules no swing
just as PU rings up the strike.
OOPS!! ;-)
