If U1 thought the PU signaled Foul, he had no business making a safe call at first base.

Clear example of a "Brain Fart".

"Why do opposing coaches come out to argue on calls reversed when they know darn well the right call was made?"

They have to stand up for their players because, someone once said your supposed to, or the players will laugh at you in the showers and make you cry.
