Why would a professional umpire risk damaging his reputation to stay on a player's good side?

Computer problems kept me from signing on yesterday or I would have posted earlier. KC Royals fan here (yes, there are a couple of us left!) and was watching the game and this play. Jeter swung and missed, his follow-through went all the way around and ended with the bat head in the dirt down by his feet, at an angle to his hands and in front of the catcher's left foot. Buck, the catcher, comes out throwing (poorly as he has done most of the season) and his left foot hits the bat (which isn't in motion as the follow-through is done). Doesn't really impact his throw, but the PU immediately pointed down at the interference. Called time after Damon was safe at 2nd and walked out and made the award, no discussion with anyone else on the crew.
At first glance, I couldn't figure out why Jeter stayed at the plate and Damon went back, but as pointed out earlier, J/R cites an example almost identical to this and the award matches what was enforced at the game. |
