Help Needed
Some items observed.
1) An umpire insisted a “catch and carry” award is a base beyond where they reached, as if a delayed dead ball. That required a very persistent debate to do it correctly. 2) An umpire claimed that on an overthrow going out of play; the 2 base award was from the time of the pitch. Continued arguing until the UIC had to settle it. That umpire then changed his call as to where the runner was; not quite 2nd instead of on 2nd. 3) An umpire did not know how to handle the lineup update for a DP going into play as a fielder. It had to be explained first that another player had to go to the bench; and second not become the DP, just an offense only player. He also did not think there could be a substitute for the OO and confused the OO player with the FLEX. All three of these issues delayed games several minutes.
