I assume all runners are trying to reach the plate. A decision has to be made whether the ensuing collision as depicted in the OP was "accidental or deliberate" with regard to the Babe Ruth baseball and its "Contact Rule", thus the emphasis on umpire's judgement call

Waiting? Could have fooled me.

Did you know that Harry Caray spelled backwards is Yrrah Yarac?

I liked Harry, but it's always sad watching your childhood memories grow senile before your eyes.

+1

In the end, he was an iconic caricature.

Sorry, you are wrong. The FED does not want you telling players where to go, where to stand and what to do. That is coaching and this is not LL.

If you want, I can compile a list of all kinds of things that can be construed as "preventative umpiring" like:

  • "Hey, don't throw that ball so hard on the pickoff"
  • "Hey, don't slap that tag so hard"
  • "Don't throw so hard to the batter, you might hurt him"

The list can go on and on.

Telling F2 where to stand is coaching, not preventative umpiring.
So would you instead say " Hey, If you stand there, you might get trucked." ?

No, if you were paying attention, I am saying that you do not say anything, it's not your place as an umpire.
