You want a real play...here

So in other words, if the runner did not break any rules, you'd call him out in order to get home earlier?

Instead of awarding benefit of the doubt, I'd rather know the rules and have no doubt. Sorry to be a stick in the mud, but I (a scheduler as well as umpire) stopped scheduling 1 person last year specifically because of this mentality. I want my umpires there for the girls, and with the intention of calling the game, not influencing it. If they need to get home sooner, I will allow them to simply not leave their homes at all.

If that makes me an @$$, so be it.
