Pulled Foot - A first

[WindyCityBlue]

Pete, Bob, rmstone...I appreciate your insight and your discussion has been lucid.

The ONLY thing I have tried to argue from the beginning is
WE ARE OBLIGATED TO GET THE CALL RIGHT.
We don't have the luxury of instant replay, but we usually have one or more partners. Yes, I trust their judgement but we do get them wrong occassionally. On the pro fields and courts, we are seeing pride put aside and they get the call right.

I don't know where it will end, Pete. I do know that the calls we are seeing in the sports highlights show a need for this scrutiny though. They have experimented with lasers and cameras at the plate and foul lines for years. Until they perfect them, we will be stuck with some tough calls and the need to change them occassionally.

I agreee that we have strayed from the original point and that some will never agree. I will end this discussion and know that at some levels of baseball, you are expected to make mistakes.

My mistake was to argue logically with Rut...again. He did make a good point though. If we ever found ourselves on the same field and I had to change his call, it would never happen again. Because where I work, the coaches won't ask him back.
