Out or safe? Video Play

[SouthGARef]

Thanks for all the input guys.

I actually think my head position is pretty good here, especially for a newbie. I've never really had someone help me with that... just done what I've read in the umpires manual and done what I've seen on TV. I'd really like to go to a good umpires camp. I'm only 23... I'll be doing this for a while, like to see how far I can go with it.

For those that asked, the tape is from the local cable station here. I agree, it'd be great if we could tape games. I'm getting my fiance to come to my next game behind the plate with our video camera so I can study the video tape to see what I need to work on. For instance, I haven't heard much griping about it, but I'd like to know what I'm calling stikes down at the bottom of the zone. I think it'd help me out a lot. Kind of my own Queztec system.

I personally think 3BLX would have been the best. I think I would have had a good angle at a tag. I called the runner safe because I couldn't tell for sure if there was a tag, and even if there was there was doubt in my mind that it was in time.

Bang bang play, I did the best I could with the situation. I'm definately not beating myself up over it. Overall, I was pleased with my effort that day.
