Ah, that happened out of the frame, and I gave you the benefit of the doubt. Now you got some 'splainin' to do.

Michael,

The reason I pointed fair was that I started getting some "...It HIT him..." noise from the defense, the ball had come out "funny" with a "funny" sound, and I had clearly seen it hit the front edge of the plate without ever touching the batter as it bounced toward fair territory. I just wanted to clarify my jusdgement in regard to those particulars, so I am emphatically pointed it fair - even though it really wasn't yet. Good idea? Bad idea? Better way to do it? Just stand there & watch? What do you guys think? To me, it seems kind of "incorrect", yet it also seemed like a good thing to do in that particular sitch. Quote:
Why thank you. ![]() OK, one more clip. This one starts with the last play of the half inning (which you will see again at the end of the clip). This was one of three "controversial" calls in the game and I'd be interested in your guys' take on the play, the players' reactions (audible on the soundtrack), and what you can tell about the umpiring. UmpVideo :: MABL, 6/272010 #3 video by CoachJM - Photobucket Play starts with an R2, grounder to the left side, fielder checks the runner back towards 2B & fires to 1B - and the R2 takes off for 3B as soon as the fielder commits to the throw to 1B. What you see is the back end as the F3 threw to F5 attempting to retire R2. My partner and I had pregamed that BU would have the "2nd play in the infield". Only other thing different is the catcher getting "dinged" on a pitch and me cleaning the plate to give him a minute. JM

Good pregame topic. I too, prefer this mechanic. When I'm on the bases I'd rather have help from PU if I need it at 1B, I can get an angle for the call at 3B, then I have PU already at home on an overthrow.
