I guarantee you that no one is referring to the "point".

You are correct, no one would be confused. There may, however, be a few who would consider this showboating for an umpire.

Well, what am I chopped liver? I was referring to the point. Though not entirely as I kind of lumped all those techniques together. (Which is the cause of my lack of adroitness in describing this. In my defense, it's definitely the one in the OP.)

So am I safe in understanding that no one cares if I give the point-off-the-bag signal? I definitely don't want to blame SRW for teaching anything but the point. I have however seen many umpires make more demonstrative signals and personally I think it makes the sell a little easier. Doesn't all selling look like showboating?

Is there anybody who thinks that the demonstrative signal is better?

Since I was referencing YOUR post and subsequent responses, I didn't think it would be necessary to exclude you from my statement. Apparently, I was mistaken.

I don't believe anyone else was as that is a standard MECHANIC, not a SIGNAL.

Look at it this way. Do you sell ball calls with demonstrative signals to make it "easier"? Do you sell a foul ball with the demonstrative signals to make it is "easier"? Trust me, you can make all the movements you want, if someone disagrees with you, that "signal" isn't going to make anything different or easier.

How about we actually call what happened? No tag means safe, unless your in CA for a gold tourney?
