I forgot to ask: if you were PU... did you say something BEFORE BU calls this?

Grazie e ciao

No. Wait for your partner to ask.

I agree that this call has its problems with the 2 man system, but the request from the defensive coach and the umpire conference are all a normal part of it, too. Sounds like some fans / players need to get a grip.

In Italy we often use roman numbers when it need to say 2nd, 3rd, etc. And I must admit I prefer to say I was born in MCMLXVI, instead to say...

Dakota, how would YOU handle this kind of situation?
If you were BU... do you really go and CHANGE your call on this specific sitch?
Imagine all fans were cheering beacause the run that re-opened the game was just scored...

Just a wild guess!

Yes, I would. The way it was handled was OK, but there is another way. If the BU saw the possible swipe tag, but was just unsure if it was made, then before making the call, he can look at his partner, and if he seems to have a good look at the swipe, point to him and say "TAG?" Depending on his response, BU goes with either "PULLED FOOT - NO TAG - SAFE" or "TAG - OUT".

That's great. THANK YOU!

Ciao e grazie ancora!
