Yes, but the man happened to be Noah Webster.

And to add to that: Have I missed seeing a guy touch a base? Sure. Have I missed a guy missing a base? Sure. Would I ever DREAM of calling a guy out unless I SAW him miss a base? No, of course not. THAT makes this call SO much worse. He called a guy out because he thought he missed home. This is one of the worst calls I have ever seen. It is similar, but even worse than this: 7-8-06 Cardinals @ Astros - The Official Forum Last edited by jwwashburn; Fri Aug 14, 2009 at 09:59pm.

Maybe the PU was 100% sure that he missed the plate. How would you know that without mind reading? Did he tell you that he guessed?

You know, you both don't look very wise for fighting over nothing. Same goes for the countless other people who have been flaming recently. The p1ssing contests make everyone look very immature.

Yeah, let's try and move past this crap...the board has been pretty dead the past few weeks probably because of this stuff. While I'm nowhere close to some of the vets on here...we all have a lot more to offer this board than what's been going on here the past few weeks.

4 a : marked by or given to feelings of confident certainty b : characterized by a lack of wavering or hesitation There is a pretty good chance that this PU was SURE. However, he did not become sure by actually SEEING the guy miss the home plate-because he did not miss it. |

What you say has some validity, but not when it comes to a play like that. Never. Last edited by Kevin Finnerty; Fri Aug 14, 2009 at 09:05pm. |

And, like you, no major league umpire has ever called a runner out who he saw wipe the entire width of the plate prior to a tag.

He could not have possibly seen the miss, because, well, there was no miss. You have to clearly see it, to make this call. The point of this whole conversation (hopefully) is to educate others. On a play like this, you have to be 100% sure that the plate wasn't touched. That wasn't the case here, obviously. He had to have been screened out by the runner's body. And when that happens, you can't assume the miss. |

Then, he saw that he didn't on replay and admitted his error. That's one difference between MLB and amateur umpiores they have replay to show them when they get it wrong, even when they think they are right. We believe we get calls right, and thanks to not having contrary evidence played over and over, get to continue thinking that and then write posts on the internet claiming we've never made such a mistake. |
