Count is 2-2 pitched strike but catcher from my view looked like he trapped it. So F2 throws down to first, inning over. No big deal. After the game the board member on duty just asked about it. I said I had a bad view an that's a tough call. If you have a hard time seeing it how do you handle it?

If you are not sure if he caught it clean or not, and you get no help from pard, then it's not caught.

You are going to be sure if the ball is well away from F2 that he didn't catch it--that's obvious. So anytime you are unsure, it's because he's right there with the ball. With that said, even if your decision of considering it "no catch" is wrong, the BR should still be toast and an easy play---if not just a mere tag---for F2.

If he wants the guarantee of the catch call, make him prove it to you.
If in doubt, consider not caught.


Just my opinion,
