Goofy

Mens modified NSA
R1 on 1B
1 out

B3 hits a hard liner to F6 who makes the catch for out #2.
He throws the ball to F3 to try to get the retreating runner on the LB appeal.
The throw is clearly in time but the BU calls the runner safe. The defense asks for him to check w/ PU. BU was blocked on the play so he asked for help. PU walked out to BU and told him that he had an out. BU made the call and the game was over.
Now the Funky part
The Offense started griping up a storm then the defense declared that F3 even admitted that he was safe. Yes the defense was actually trying to give up an out. The game was over but the Offense felt ripped especially since the defense tried to back pedal on the call that they actually prompted when they asked for help from the PU.
Was this a case of attempted umpire nullification?
F4 was griped about a called 3K earlier in the game. Maybe he thought it was a way to discredit the umps.

I got no idea what that is.

If there was another game on the field, those teams needed to be instructed to clear the dugout 'cause this one was over. If there wasn't another game, I'm sure I would not have been hanging around to hear the whining.

Get off the field, you and your partner go grab a beer and laugh at the idiots on the field.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking for over 30 minutes watching you and your partner drag the game so long my beard actually grew grayer by the minute.

Now wait a minute
I'm not sure just how much grayer that beard can get...................

But I gotta admit - the beer was not quite cold and the pizza was not quite hot by the time we got there.
