... snip ... Last weekend, men's modified, force play at 2B. I see F4 scoop the ball in time and he's on the base. But he was off balance and fell toward 3B. Meanwhile, F1 moves just to the left of the play, so what I see is F4 scoop the ball, fall "behind" the pitcher, and reappear a half second later with the ball in his glove. Everybody in the park saw F4 juggle the ball but one person, and we know who that was.
I told the offensive coach that I didn't doubt for a moment that F4 juggled the ball, but I didn't see it and couldn't call what I didn't see. ... snip ...

Wouldn't you have to call the runner safe to avoid "guessing an out"?
