Play at the plate

[GPC2]

Thanks all. I know this was a really tough play and I just wanted to get some insight into what actually happens (from an officiating standpoint) on a bang-bang play at the plate.

Try to get in the best position possible to make the call based upon your training and experience, call what you see and move on. If you missed it...try to learn from the mistakes made and don't make them again...then whenever possible, educate one more person about what you learned from that play...then maybe they won't make the same mistake. Sometimes we get 'em right, some times we miss 'em, but we're calling what we see. I guess that's the human element.
