I didn't think it was interference. I had nothing. Partner who is BU and on the grass behind F6 comes up with "Dead Ball Interference on Retired Runner" Then calls the player on 2B out.

I don't think he should have made that call. He said it was a textbook call and I should have made it. It bothered me .

What say you ?

I say "thank goodness" that I don't work with idiots like the base umpire in this game.

No kidding. It makes me want to scratch that partner and I'll probably never work with him. Sorry you had to suffer working with that guy, Chess Ref.

Without going into all the details of local ASA-college politics....

My partner's a chosen one. He worked college ball last year and I didn't. Though I have gotten that call and it looks like I start college ball this year. So he does have a little ...ahem...attitude about himself and how high he sits up in the pecking order of local softball umpiring.

He definetly is above explaining himself to a mere HS/ASA umpire such as myself.

Yea I wasn't happy with the call or he's reaction to my bringing it up ,but truthfully he didn't care that I wasn't happy about it all.

thanks for the replies . Your responses are about what I expected- just need some confirmation of what happened.

And it's exactly that attitude that will get him in trouble. Oh well, not your mess to mop up.
