Tigers vs Injuns 5-1-09 Laz Diaz? no-call

Okay, so are you saying that Diaz was wrong and he should've been called out? Based upon your above post...assuming all that all of your information is factual...then you should have an out there. No?

You are correct. I would have an out, which would imply Diaz did get it wrong.

If this is a set-up question saying "how could you rule differently from a MLB umpire?" let it go. There have been more than a few times when MLB umps have totally screwed the pooch on, not only rule interps, but plain rules. I have done the same. With the literature that's out there and the training I have had, this is simply how I would have ruled. Until I see something different, I believe that my position is supported by the rule set and "official" interpretations.

Lighten up Francis. I asked you a question and you answered it.

Just covering my bases. Looks like I missed one.

not an unmistakable appeal in this case :-) there are a few on here who dare not disagree w/ MLB...which is fine...it allows for pretty good discussion
