Being "hung out to dry"

[TussAgee11]

Not totally relevant to the post, other than the idea that the players attitudes should maybe dicate a catch or no catch.

Bases juiced, no outs. Line shot to F5. I'm PU. I see a hop, I come up with "NO CATCH NO CATCH". It was really close and it took alot of selling. The batter started walking towards his dugout. F5 stepped on 3rd, and tagged the runner coming back to 3rd because (presumably) he thought it was a catch. I think F5, who wasn't that great of a ball player, was confused himself. He stepped on 3rd and then casually tagged the runner who was trotting back to 3rd, seemingly as an assurance that that man was out. Of course, R2 was out, now R3 was out with a tag, and the BR was standing in the dugout.

All in about 4 seconds of action...
