Indecisive or Good Umpiring

[johnnyg08]

How did you pre-games about the "open area" or the odd ground rules?

In odd situations like this, I don't think it's bad to figure out the correct call together if you both did your jobs and also saw the ball. Either way, it's a dead ball right? So it's a HR or double...I guess since I had to choose one or the other, I guess I'd say good umpiring.

I did bring the obscure ground rules to the PU's attention prior to the game. He said we would talk about any situations and get it right. It was a deadball situation. I also think this was good umpiring.
