R1 steals to second base-another bad call

[joemoore]

I find the level of arguing and complaining goes up not because of the quality of the calls you make, but because of the situation and competitiveness involved.

Get a good look at it, make sure you're set, make your call. Reward good play if you're not sure. If the throw is there, give the fielder the benefit of the doubt, if the throw is off, or the tag is high , or the fielders were sleeping, lean toward giving the runner the edge.

Don't be so quick to second guess yourself. Whatever happened there was something that made you lean one way or the other. If it was getting back at a coach, or gauging which fans were least likely to disagree, then that's blowing the call. If you made your best honest guess based on what you saw, then you are sure of yourself, you nailed the call.
