My perception is taken from the fact that you didn’t give your ruling in the OP; you want others to respond first. I suspect that is what you wanted to happen during the game before you made your call. Also, you have “boxed yourself in” to a lose-lose scenario by yourself perceiving that there are two, and only two, outcomes in which others would respond, both being detrimental to your ego: 1. “50% will think [you] don't know [your] a** from a hole in the ground; and, 2. “[T]he other 50% will think they got a lucky break from a bad call.” As yawetag and customshirts advise and encourage, officials should call the game in a way that they will get what it is they want out of the game. 1. More games, then call it the way your assignor says; 2. Happy fans on the 3d base side, then call it the way the home team says; 3. Happy fans on the 1st base side, then call it the way the visitors say; 4. Happy defense, then the BR is out; 5. Happy offense, then the BR is safe; 6. Happy play-by-play announcers, then the way the replay camera operators have it; 7. Happy color commentators; forget about it, they think it’s our fault that they’re not still out there; 8. Good night’s sleep, then call it your way. |
