"quick question on the OP video.
"Why didn't the PU give a dropped-third-strike mechanic?

"Would have saved him some trouble. I know for HS we're instructed to give our strike mechanic followed by the safe mechanic, and I know this is standard to some veteran umpires around these forums as well."

Because it was not an uncaught mechanic. It was clear that F2 did not catch the ball.

The only call necessary in this sequence would be both hands up if the ball was called foul. When that signal wasn't made it is quite clear that F2 had not caught the third strike.

Your odds are just as long here as on the other forum.

haha, so does every answer bother him? Or just ones he has to give to newbies? It's a forum where we ask questions, and he sounds bothered to have to...answer...questions.

He still talks that way to me. And I'm not all alone, either. He is old, you see, and very set in his ways!




Yes Tim, that one is for a rise!

Tim does not suffer fools well. I don't see that as a sin.
