Her logic is wrong, but her conclusion may not be. You have all day to kill the ball. But you can't bring a defibrillator out there to bring it back to life. Why are umpires so quick to kill the ball without being sure of a violation? FOUR times this year my base umpire called a dead ball on a batted ball that allegedly hit the batter in the batter's box. In NONE of those cases did that happen. I didn't "not see it hit her" but saw that it DIDN'T hit her. Two were confirmed on video. Two were 20 feet up the line. Both were HUGH calls in the game.
LEAVE THE PHANTOMS IN THE BAG!
