Beating myself up about this one...

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...
