warming up

[gsf23]

Or the guys who "look for outs" so they can get games over with. Had a partner on the bases, top of 7th, visitors behind and two outs, runners at second and third. Ground ball to short and the 1B has to stretch for the throw and pulls his foot. Partner on the bases rings him up. Of course coach goes nuts asking for help. My partner finally asks me, did he pull his foot? I say "Yes he did" and he then calls him safe. Vistors proceed to score five more runs. Home team loses. After the game my partner is all pissed off at me for making that call because we had to umpire for another 35 minutes. Got a new partner after that one.
