Mechanic - Help from Plate on Foot Pull

[mcrowder]

BU needs help on that call when the ball is not thrown perfectly and the fielder gets in the sightline between you and his own foot. It happens. To say it never does is frankly ridiculous.

Now perhaps because you are so much better than the rest of us, it happens more infrequently for you than us (perhaps the level of games you work is higher). But it DOES happen. To me, you saying it has NEVER happened tells me that on the 5-10 times it DID happen to you, your ego refused to allow you to ask for help. I may be reading more into that than there is ... but that's the way it comes across.

I would say I ask for help on that call at most 1-2 times a year. But it's good to have a mechanic that works for you and your partner when it does. Back to the original post, "FOOT!" is horrible.
