There's one team whose games I've called many times where "if it could go wrong, it would."

One of their players, while at catcher, received a throw from F6 to tag out the lead runner. As he was about to tag the runner, he noticed the trailing runner breaking from 1B to 2B. He tagged his runner, or so he thought, then threw to 2B. What he didn't realize was that just before he tagged the runner, he pulled the ball out of the glove and tagged the runner with the empty glove.

Later that game, the same catcher, now on offense, rounded 3B and came running home. Throw came in to the catcher, so the runner slid straight into home. However, the runner's leading leg was about a foot off the ground. His foot crossed above the plate, but he didn't make contact with the plate until his other leg hit it. In between that time, the defense tagged him. Everyone watching the game thought he beat the throw, and all I could do was sell the he!! out of that call.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
