"You costed us the game"

[Baseball_North]

Above, is a direct quote from the coach of the losing team of my game tonight.

....Top of the 1st inning.... 2-0 count on the #3 hitter for the visitors. Pitch comes in inside, the batter does not attempt to move, and if anything, moved into the ball. I call a ball and tell the batter to stay put. The coach disagrees, but seems contempt with my explanation. 3-0. Next pitch - ball. Batter walks. No problem, right? I thought it worked out well, as the batter got to 1st base anyway.

Team loses the game by about 10 runs, and after the game, the coach gives me the quote from above.... he said, "You costed us the game with that call in the first inning!" Rediculous....

Just thought I'd share another story.
