plate mechanics
behind plate r1 is on first...partner is between 1 and 2...ball goes off end of bat and is spinning o.b. then back in as it goes up 1st base line...r2 is headed for first and r1 is headed for 2nd...I cheat up 1st base line and as r2 passes 1st baseman she gains control of the ball and rotates toward second then towards 1st for a swipe tag at r2...I cannot tell if tag was applied and wait for partner to call 1st base...no call comes and he stares at me until he says your call...I ask him if he seen a tag he says no so I call r2 safe...meantime r1 goes toward 3rd...r1 slides into 3rd I catch the tail end of the play...cant guess an out so she safe...1 coach is happy the other oh well...question is this was this the bases call at first...I waited for an appeal from him...and was 3rd then his if 1st was mine? one more twist would it be different if base would have been tween 2nd and 3rd for the initial call at 1st...
