When I have had a play at the plate where the runner missed home and is clearly safe I had a "no call" until he either tagged the plate or was tagged out. Now I'm wondering if this is the proper mechanic. Since he passed the base should it not be assumed that he touched it pending an appeal and a safe call being signaled? Or has tradition caused this to evolve in a no call? Any thoughts?
The correct mechanic is "no call". This puts neither team at a disadvantage and keeps the onus on the players to complete the play.
