THAT, my friend, is the million dollar question!

For one, I am convinced that our mechanics will make or break us, as I believe the judgment was sound on this play. The way the judgement was delivered caused the problems we all have seen.

Good points, but sometimes especially in a "big game" situation, you just have to umpire.

The reaction of F2 on the plays tells you as PU that he made the tag. He would have known if he did NOT tag him and reacted accordingly. He also is seen looking at the PU for confirmation. The BR reacts the same way then runs to 1st thinking it was ball 4.

I'm sure that the other umpires had no clue as to whether a tag was made or not and probably were not even looking at that play.

Thanks

The baseball gods reserved that for the other site of this tournament.

I didn't say it was a bad mechanic, it just not have been proper in the situation. Perhaps he wanted to know so he could discuss it with his catcher.

Just currious, what happened over at Dunning Field(or during the title game at Target Field) I'm just curious.

I was at Target Field for AA and AAA...I did see much out of the ordinary.
