Thumbs down

Can't believe I made this call. I am PU gtound ball to F5 who is playing in. Ball goes off his glove into foul territory & the ball does not pass 3rd. I say FOUL!
Was I correct or am I just loosing it?

Thumbs down Yup - you blew it!

The fair/foul decision was made at the instant that the ball hit the third baseman's glove, FAIR. Regardless of what it did next, it met the requirements of a fair ball.

Live and learn!

Now you know, and will probably never,ever make that mistake again. That's a big part of learning. Fear is the best motivator. And for me, fear of making the same mistake twice makes me learn from the first one!

Robert.......

Timing, timing, timing....

There probably wasn't any GOOD reason to rush the call....just take your time and make the proper call....there's a good way to prevent this in the future...slow your timing down...

Oh yeah...timing, timing, timing....LOL

Bet you won't do this again....

Robert G,
I think we're allowed at least one that we want back each season. And remember, that one is gone now.
