What I'm getting at is, no action by umpire or defense equals no strike. Unfortunately, every post seems to enhance the situation in the original topic.

Ok, I'll clarify.
I did not have a swing on the play. The batter half chucked at it, the pitch was very close on the corner and I was focused there. I balled it because I didn't see a swing, but clearly I just missed it. BU called OUT, not strike. He thought that I had called a swing - said he looked at the ball going to the backstop (still he should have seen me not do anything... I don't know where he was coming from with this). We huddled, he said he had a swing, which I told him that I never saw, but he told me it was pretty obvious. I told him that I don't see how we can end this without an out on the B/R. The B/R never ran, the ball went to the backstop, the catcher retrieved it and threw to first. Live and learn... |

I'd say that while BU didn't give the mechainc for such a call, he effectively made one. While both PU and BU could have done better, the "right" call was made in the end. |

Why wait for F2 to appeal. In YOUR Judgement B1 either offered at the pitch or he didn't. If you are Unsure, then go to your partner right away. Do not get in the habit of calling a pitch a ball (even though you are unsure) and then have holy h**l break loose afterwards awaiting for someone to appeal. Pete Booth
