Either ump can call it, although if I'm PU, and my partner is looking right at it and doesn't call it, I'll most likely pass on it as well.

Now, the rest of you losers split all the hairs you want, but unless you have eyes in the back of you damn heads, you aint calling any interference at 2nd on a DP.
Not necessarily.

BU should not move his focus of the play at 2B until the ball is being released by the fielder to 1B. If the ball is never released, BU has the chance to see any INT at 2B; if the ball is thrown, the call can only be PU's.

If you're turning your focus away from 2B before the ball is released, you're going to miss something eventually.

We are talking about a DP and a DP means there is an out attempt at one base followed by a second attempt at another base.

So if there is enough interference on the 1st play that the defense doesn't throw the damn ball, we don't have a DP, now do we? So obviously, the call is made by the BU, my fine, feathered idiots!

OK. You're the boss. As for me, I'll continue to be a fine, feathered idiot. And right.

Not very likely at all....:rolleyes:

If some loon did do as you suggest, then the loon whose login and password were stolen could have gone in and deleted any and all posts that are attributed to said loon. Then the simple thing to do after that is to change one's password.

The title of this thread, "What Was He Thinking?", is appropriate to say the very least. It should be changed to, "What the Funk Was He Saying?"

It looks like someone is having crow for Thanksgiving. A little gravy will help wash down the wild taste....

People, under the direction of the moderators, I have deleted the offensive posts. I apologize for not securing my information properly which allowed an undesirable to pose as me. The good thing is that this undesirable did not get into anything of value, just a couple of forums and an old file locker that I haven't used in years.

1) Don't leave field via the losing team side
2) If you field the need to explain yourself to anyone other than the coach...don't.
The game is OVER. You do not EXPLAIN yourself to ANYONE at this point and that INCLUDES the coach. Other then a protest (and if that's the case the coach better do it in a hurry) NO explanations.

It's one thing if a coach wants an explanation DURING the game quite another when the game is OVER. When it's OVER leave together and do not talk to ANYONE.

if IN FACT R1 violated the FPSR then the call is made IMMEDIATELY not retroactively.

The BU or PU would say

1. TIME
2. That's Interference
3. R1 and the BR are out
4. Other runners return to TOP bases which in this case is moot because it was a game ender.

As another poster eluded to "on the surface" it sounds as if the BU was trying to cover his a** when the coach questioned him.
