In this sitch, though... I can't call INT. Not because of the voice issue, but the coach is coaching his runner. Maybe it's HTBT, but from the OP, I just can't call it.

BTW "Pull something like that, and I'll call INT, not to mention the probability that I might toss the offending vocalist for USC." What about a fly foul ball in front of the O's dugout? and someone in the dugout yells "i got it" and fielder drops the catch? What we doing then?

What would happen if you, as the umpire in a 3-umpire system, went out on a ball and waved off the other BU and said, "I got it" and the OF let the ball drop? After all, you called it! ![]() Yes, you should say "2-umpire" or "2-man", but in the excitement, that isn't always what is said. I have heard, "Mine", "I got it", "My ball" among a few other things. I have not seen a fielder react, but could just imagine the conversation with the defense's coach ![]() |

If you deviate from that and cause confusion, you deserve the subsequent ***-chewing.

I agree, but I doubt many 12/13 yr olds would do this. Too bad in this case.

If you have a catcher so terribly obvious that they are throwing the ball at the coach, would you ignore that? If you do, where do you draw the line on retaliatory actions? |

I had a similar play on Tuesday. BR (who is a fellow umpires daughter and a heck of a player) launches one right down the 3B line. We're playing a HS game on a city field that had fences of about 350' so there's not really a chance of it leaving the park but either way it's going for a ride. I'm BU and cut in as soon as I see it leave the bat. After the BR rounds first I cut a look to my partner who is signalling fair and I run with her to make sure she touches all the bases. Almost as soon as she hit the runners lane the DC is screaming "FOUL BALL, FOUL BALL". He continued this until she touched the plate. The BR didn't even hesitate so I didn't want to rob her of her glory and kill it only to award her home. After the play I call time and have a quick "Come to Jesus" talk with the DC who saw the error of his ways. One of my points to him was that there are only four male voices on the field, two coaches and two umpires. If she had stopped or hesitated it would have left me no choice on a hit like that.

Even if she hesitated or stopped, you still are not going to kill the play until she is put out or all play is completed. |
