How would you score it?

[NCASAUmp]

If I can't see it, I can't call it. That would be a home run. If they've already hit their limit, that's an out.

If you see the ball hit the fielders glove, then go over the fence... 4 base award, BR (and everyone in front of him) scores, but it's not a home run, doesn't count towards the 5, nor is it an out if more than 5 already.

But you can only call what you see.

This is one of those weird, rare cases where if an umpire DOESN'T see something happen, it can be an out. Most other plays, it's the other way around.

I vote four base error.

Generally, I have found that I'm only able to rule on what I see. If I see the contact, it's a 4-base award, and NOT a home run. If I don't ... well, it's gotta be a home run.

There's no way for us to accurate make the call from the keyboard. You have to see it in real life (which is the situation for a lot of these "alleged" incidents on the internet).

[SC Ump]

If you question was a scoring question unrelated to the game, e.g. was it a hit or an error, I would say do what ever you feel. Since this situation does have an impact on the game, you would need to score it as the umpire called it: home run.

If there was a call at home plate that was "out of view of PU", I hope you wouldn't rule it an out just because you disagreed with the umpire's safe call.

Methinks he was being facetious.

Or god I hope he was!
