I don't understand

I will ask. If you as BU saw this play as I described, would you:

A. call interference, under FED 8-4-2c. Ring up the BR and eject R1 for throwing equipment.

B. call runner out on the tag by F4 and consider the contact incidental. Ignore the tirade and tossed equipment.

I guess I am manifesting an inferioriy complex here. I have been intending to join the local organization of officials that is sanctioned to do all Texas UIL games. But I have not because I don't feel that I have the experience as yet. But now my son is playing HS ball now and I have seen some very mediocre officiating in alot of these games.

These forums are very informative and I learn much from the likes of Tee, Garthb, Carl, RBS and numerous others. I just dont't feel we should categorize umpires by the level of baseball that they officiate. I guess my post came off a bit too sarcastic and probably as umpire bashing. That was not my intent.

I have been intimidated by the "BIG DOGS" (not my nomenclature)on these sites and also the ones I know personally. No more. I am as capable as they are.

I learn from them too but the inadequate ones who feed their ego by degrading others dont intimidate me in the slightest.

This is obviously textbook INT. Probably HTBT for double play and I would say 99% chance of a toss on the tantrum.

They blew the call.. not really a big deal IMO. It happens. They are only fed umpires, probably went to a four hour clinic at most.. not like they are MLB or something. The BU wasnt wearing a fanny pack by any chance was he?
