hopefully it doesnt take that BU getting drilled in the back of the head with a throw or a hit ball to understand that there is no play without the ball. eyes on the ball, let it take you to the play at second if you have a guy stealing.

Brian,

I'd rather get drilled than answer a yes or no question with I don't know, as any 1st year ump would do.

id rather just get it right, along with leaving "i dont know" in the parking lot before i step on the field.

Wow. He actually took his eyes off the ball because a runner was stealing?

Probably not "highly rated" anymore!

Not as bad as turning completely towards the runner at first when he leads off.

Or being closer to third with R2 (working C+ / D-) in case there's a steal.

On a very separate note, had you been caught cheating toward the steal, and didn't get a good look or what ever 3rd world play you want to come up with that made it so you missed the play at the plate, would anyone else simply say "NO, He Didn't", and get on with things.

Please I know "Don't miss the play", I'm not talking about that blunder, just he response you would give had said blunder occured, and yes you can retire after the game out of shame that you missed it.
