missed tag play

[mcrowder]

Blue --- on the re-revised edition of this play, you still A) saw no tag, and B) don't seem positive the runner moved more than 3 feet away from a straight line between his original position and 2nd base. So next time, don't call an out. See an out, call an out. Don't see an out, you have nothing.

Usually, it's a lot easier to change SAFE into OUT if PU sees something differently than you did, than it is vice versa.

If you were POSITIVE on the 3-feet thing, you have an out, and no need at all to confer with PU.

As to the "fix". I suspect you should have gone with 1st and 2nd, but that depends very much on how close to 2nd the play was. If close, you might assume he wouldn't have thrown to 2nd if he missed the tag, and the play would have developed exactly the same - if so, then 2nd and 3rd is right.
