agreed....

think this was the mindset from a while ago...and even Papa C mentions it in his book about how to ruin a ballgame......by making the unexpected call.......the ball is down and waiting on the runner and the umpire calls safe...

Today with HD and slo mo, MLB is no longer following this.... they know they will be called out in the press if they do it....now, this technology wont ever get filtered down to most of us, but I go with what I have/what I see.........
