OK, that's twice now I've had to scold you for not using a smilie. You're going to give him another heart attack.

I almost never ask for help, not because I'm philosophically opposed to it, but because I'm never sure if the PU is even looking at my play. I have my responsibilities and he has his, why do I assume he's looking at my responsibility.

If I kick it, I just need to work harder.

Ive had two, one on a DP ball. First game of the season, diving stop by F4, and a throw to 2B, F6 calmly shuffles over to 2B slides across the base with his pivot foot, plants it about 2' off , catches the ball, then fires to 1B.
In processing what I had just saw, I emphatically gave the safe sign with an off the base move, I never once followed the throw to first, actually I never even thought about it, I was reprocessing what I had just seen on my first call of the year. So in that case I had to ask.

The other was a bunt. Left handed batter bunts up the 1B line, ball took a high hop off of the plate, hits the ground and bounces again probably 6' up the line, runner runs into the ball. Where I made a mistake was, that I assumed it hit him in fair territory, because at the instant he contacted the ball (with his chest) i simply lined up the direction of the ball in relation with the line. I called time and called the runner out. O-manager calls time comes out and asks if I will go for help, he thinks it was foul when the runner contacted the ball. no problem, go to 1B ump "charles where was the ball when the runner contacted it" foul he says, "are you 100% sure" no 110% he says.

So the moral of the story is "dont put yourself in a situation to have to go for help"
I put myself in both situations and had to go for help!
