Look, he made the right call, and it's his call to make. You'd get pissed if someone criticized you for making your own calls, so why criticize him?

Well, if I were behind the plate doing the 18U Gold National:
1. We'd obviously have to be in a parallel universe, cuz they ain't stickin someone like me back there in this universe.
2. It would be MY call to make on whether it's playable.

There's no doubt the game should have been called. I wish MLB would be smart enuf to have a rule that if it's suspended you pick it up from that spot when you are in the World Serious. This isn't the first time we've dealt with bad conditions and tried to play...maybe the worst, but not the only.
