Out or Not

[oppool]

Sleepless night in Texas

The other night a partner and I were talking about one of my earlier post "Protest" and got into this discussion in which we agreed to disagree. The partner has 20+ years experience on me and have always had smooth running games when I have worked with him but here is what we disagreed on

SIT: B1 at bat PU gaves 2 balls 1 strike count verbally when the proper count was 2 balls 2 strikes B1 takes next pitch which is a strike and which PU is quickly corrected by the defensive team that this is strike 3.

MY VIEW: Batter out PU errored and will hear it from the offensive team but batter also has responibilty to know the proper count next batter up

PARTNERS VIEW:PU put the batter in jeopardy when he gave the wrong count out verbally should stay with the 2 balls 1 strike count given, now the count is 2 & 2 play on take the heat from the defensive side


What you think guys
