There may be no worse nightmare for a base coach.



More correctly, because said runner no longer was in contact with his acquired base and was tagged with a live ball, “…said team lost A CHANCE to tie the game with the next batter.”



We, too, are often wronged because YOU (the announcers) screw up.



I’ll hazard a guess that the umpires had it figured out sooner than that.

The arguement was by the coach. I pulled my OBR book(always carried one) and tried to figure out what in the blazes was going on.
