1. In this one it seems to be a HTBT. The runner can't magically go poof...Credit to Irishman for that. Or was the runner fooling around and got herself mixed up in the play after she scored ? I don't think that is an automatic call either way ...
2. My first varsity game I'm PU. Shot down the line I come out screaming "fair ball". Everyone stops and looks at me. I did a pretty good job of cleaning that up if I remember correctly......Stuff happens. A personal POE for myself this year has been to slow down in all areas of my umpiring. |

Obviously he is exaggerating, but the point is to slow down. Rushing a foul call doesn't make it more or less foul. Wait until it meets the definition of foul and then announce the ruling.

The DC came down from thrid base and said---WHAT DID YOU DO? I said, Coach, I think you already know what I did-I messed up real bad. HE shook his head and said, I can't argue with you there. The next pitch, the batter hit a double-WHEW. Joe in Missouri |

Couple weeks ago I had the oddest spin on a hit.
Ball hit by batter and first contacted the ground literally behind the batter's box (yes, in the catcher's box). Spin had it bounce over the batter who was tryin to avoid it. The next bounce went between the batter's legs. Then the ball finally landed and came to rest in fair territory about 3 feet in front & to lhe left of the plate. Never touched catcher or batter. Had my "FOUL BALL" trigger pulled about 3 times, but luckily, never pulled it. Simply pointed fair and amidst all the shouts from players, coaches, fans the catcher picked ball up and fired to first for the out. Wish I had a video of that 1. |
