Slowing down quick calls

perhaps... maybe i could get away with it if both players involved are really fat and slow?

Actually I was thinking more along the lines of a missed base at first or at home, then with a tag appeal.
but you know me... i see/read poorly

Plus, knowing you LA boys, if you make 2 calls, at least one will be wrong.

Doesn't matter, because either way, someone will think you're wrong!

I tend to agree with Dave on this. Even if correct, the perception is you are reversing an original call especially if the second comes right on the tail of the first. It isn't like a runner slides into a base, stops and then continues to slide pass the base.

There is no need to come up with a quick safe because if the defender is keeping the ball there for a possible continuation of the play, there isn't going to be a play anywhere else.

Now, if the obvious play is complete and then the runner does something stupid like lift their contact foot or fall off the base unaided and the defender is holding a tag (which I hate), then there are two plays, two calls.

Jeez, you guys sure do know how to launch off on a simple semi-wise guy comment! (Which, of couse, is why I posted it!)

Hey, if it's a means to an end...

yeah, true

I have to recant my early position... on a overslide ,one delayed call gets a A+.
see, i'm easy.
