sometimes it's hard not to laugh

[archangel]

Did a mens SP game last night, working solo (normal), nobody on, sharp grounder to SS, fires to F3 who catches ball but is then pulled off the bag. I had moved out in front of the plate, maybe 5-6 ft and made the out call. The BR's teammate in the 1st base side bench then yells to me "You cant make that call from there". I just laughed and walked back for the next at bat. The yelling player then sheepishly apologizes, as he is now on deck, saying he didnt want me to call against him during his at bat. (now that pissed me off, but I ignored him).......

When their team goes on defense, you know you'll hear "awwwe, c'mon, blue! Ring'm up!" from the outfield.

I'd be half-tempted to say back, "you can't make that call from there, either!"
