Strike4,
NO, it happens to all of us, I got that reminded to myself earlier this year. Had the pleasure of working with a very well respected umpire in this area. She works Div 1 college down to the 12U tourney we were calling. I am at plate R1 at 2nd R2 at 1st hit to SS bobbles it and then throws to 3rd who is standing on bag, runner slides in she sells a safe call. I stood there in the holding zone looking to see if anyone was going to say anything, and she turned to return to her position and looked to 1st and 2nd, called time and said "My fault that was a force out, runner is out." No one said a thing and we went on with life, excpet inbetween innings she had plenty to say "I can't believe I lost sight of the force, how stupid of me (I cleaned it up alot)." But like I say it happens to all of us, like I keep getting told timing is everything replay it and think of the situation (force or tag?) and then call it like you saw it.
