Not a Word!

I am the PU on Tuesday...0-2 count on the batter. The pitcher throws when high and tight as the batter is hitting the ground to get out of the way the ball hits the bat and is foul tip into the catcher's glove. I give the foul tipped signal and call the batter out. No one says a word, not the player, coach, or a fan. Very strange.

did you get call right? they probably saw it the same as you did. I bet they would not have said a word if the batted ball was fair and runner was safe at first. good job seeing it and calling it correctly.

I guess you're lucky STB didn't come in from shallow right field to overrule you.

It usually warms up (50 degrees) sometime around May 15th! Our season is only 22 games long.

It's 35 here right now. I just loaded up the car for a plate job I have later today. By then we should be in the high 40s, if I'm lucky.
