Should I Overrule the BU?

[mcrowder]

Matt - the biggest problem I have with this is the implication that for some reason, despite your acknowledgement that BU WAS in position, you feel that YOUR viewpoint (from 90 feet away) and/or the viewpoints of "everyone else" (from 120-200 feet away) must inherently have been "better" than the viewpoint of BU --- who, again, was IN position, and had a BETTER view than ANYONE else on the field (except perhaps an admittedly biased F8!)

If he WAS in position, why do you assume your view of the play was different. Heck, since you moved yourself OUT of position (to 3rd base), you had an AWFUL angle on both catch and tag at the same time - you have a better time convincing me of your view from home plate or the working area in front of the plate - at least your angle is in line.

Sorry to come off hard on this... I just hate when someone in an inherently WORSE position to make a call finds it in them to assume that their view of a particular play is somehow better than the person in the BETTER position.
