Sell the call?!

I had a similar sit last month. As the stands are going crazy about the safe call the coach, from the 1B dug out, calmly asks his catcher if he dropped the ball. F2 meekly nods his head. I look over to the dug out and nod to the coach who nods back.

One guy behind the screen has been video tapeing the game and is out of his mind "I GOT INSTANT REPLAY, BLUE!" over and over.

I let things cool down for the next pitch. This guy starts up again, right behind me. I call time and calmly walk over the the dugout "Coach if you don't control that guy, you are gone." Coach handles it.

Case closed (LL majors BTW)

So, I only hope you are attempting to say what I think.

If you had called safe and yelled "ball is on the ground", then there would likely have been little incident. You would not have had to listen to the crapola from the stands, and would not have had to request assistance from the coach.

If so, I agree............SELL THE CALLS that need selling.

Dont' sell calls that don't need selling.
That is like crying wolf, and is not needed.


Just my opinion,
