Block or no block

[JEL]

As glen said it is a HTBT play, but it sure sounds like OBS by F4 to me.

Question about #6, Why did you appeal to the PU?

First, you can not appeal an apparent OBS, you could tell the one making the call you saw F4 obstruct your runner, and would HE ask the PU if he saw OBS. This is of course after you have asked for, and been granted time, and you walk out to the BU for a one to one conversation (no yelling across the infield, that's no good).

The BU may or may not ask for help, but you will have a better chance if you approach him in a professional manner to plead your case. If BU asks for help from the PU, he may or may not change his call, you will have to play on from there. You did say you won, so this play was not pivotal.

You also noted you were the "out-of-towners". I hope there were no "Home Cooking" comments coming from the stands! I called a state BB tourney last week, and heard more "Home Cooking" comments than I have ever heard. I, and my partner were 60+ miles from home! I also hope you don't believe that the umpiring crew was biased towards the home team. They may also have been "out-of-towners"!

It sounds as if you did recieve a bad call though, we do miss some. How was the rest of the game? (officiating)
