No idea if its going to 3rd or 1st. If the play is at 1st, you're at best between the rubber and 2nd. If the play is at third, the ball is coming in behind the runner and you'll never see when he was tagged.

Just no solution to that one.
Call R2 out at 3rd UNLESS the ball is dropped or he is CLEARLY safe. A defensive coach will seldom squawk about this call because his runner did something REALLY stupid.

0 out, ground ball deep in the hole to F6 with a fast R2 with a big secondary. Its a good play to go to 3rd if he can get it.

Not my job to make calls just so somebody doesn't "squawk". Not my job to judge what is a stupid play and what isn't.

Call what ya got and don't worry about what should have or shouldn't have happened.

You must work youth ball exclusively to make that bold of a statement. I sure JJ works way above that level. You know, with coaches and players that understand what is going on. I'm quite sure the coach will be reaming his player for being stupid, not the other way around.

Exclusively... yup, you know me. Such a bold statement, way more bolder than the one you made
