I agree, but sometimes when you are calling games in a small town babe ruth league, where you have coaches and parents that don't know a whole lot about the game or umpiring, you have to go outside the box and away from normal umpiring techniques. If this had been a college game or even high school, we wouldn't be having this conversation. In this situation, the coach asked me about it, and told him what the rules were about baserunning. It started out as a normal conversation, but he preceded to take it too far. Appreciate the input.
