Should I Overrule the BU?

Rich is a quality umpire.

Matt:

I am not playing word games.

You were working a two man crew. Unless you can convince me otherwise, you cannot, that you can seriously think that everything you "see" is correct and your partner could error.

My point is a fact, not "word games", there is no way to define that what you saw was correct.

Therefore there is no overruling of another's judegement calls.

Tim, that's what I was taught. This was the BU's judgement call and his call stood (regardless of what I saw). This call, however, fell into what Peter calls a "Gross Miss"; It was such a miss, nobody argued - they just laughed about it - both sides. I'm not sure how much clearer I can be about it.

Tim, I guess you have never told your partner that he missed a call after a game? Never told him that his strike zone was a little tight? high? low?


About BU taking a play on R1 at 3B... I think I'll start another thread.
