Don't feel bad. I was mentoring a couple newer umpires in a tournament last weekend. There was a similar play and the BU umpire went right up with her hand, perfect hammer, etc. Thought it was a great call. Coach came out to have a little discussion. About 15 seconds into it he goes a little nuts (not TOO bad, but a little).

After the game we are having a little debriefing.

ME: So, what happened to make the coach go nutso?
Newbie BU: I told him I was certain I heard the tag.

I was nice...
I have called an out on a tag I've heard a couple of times. One was when a player clipped the heel of a sliding runner. Another was a swipe tag on a high throw to first. Couldn't see the runner's back, but I heard the glove hit him in the shoulder.

I hope you were real nice. . .
