A Very Weird Call by a Very Big Dog

I personally don't care what the BU yells -- Time OR Foul. If a normally batted ball strikes the batter in the box it's pretty obvious it's foul. Who cares?

But this call has me thinking -- I normally default to calling this a foul ball. I mean, I just don't think my timing and tracking of the pitch allows me to get such a good view of this play that I can definitely tell someone that one foot is in and one foot is out. If the batter is possibly in EITHER box, I'll call it foul and bring the batter back to hit.

Me too, Rich. It is very tough to see 99.9 percent of the time, the ones you would , very obvious int's. Onto BU yelling FOUL, I'd rather have TIME called if he saw sumpin that I could possibly be prossesing as an INT call....BU pops a FOUL and I pop a Thats Int, we gonna catch it. Rather be safe than thrashed....:O
