Would you ask for help?

Are you doing it just so Gardenhire doesn't explode? Frankly, I don't think that's a good enough reason.

No, I would never, ever ask on this. Let him explode. I'll write the report.

If the coach asked in the proper fashion why not just go down to 3rd base and ask...if he says it didn't hit his foot or I didn't get a great look at it then you tell the manager and you look like you are approachable...if you don't ask you look like a harda$$! This would take 30 seconds and I think more times than not the manager would have greater respect for you for asking, he doesn't ask and now the manager goes nuts and gets thrown out and it takes another 5 minutes to get back to playing ball.
