It bothered me.
 
R1 on 2B. Batter hits a ball to left-center. F7 overthrows the catcher, the ball then hits the fence and bounces right into the player who just scored.

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 ?

That call should bother you - it's protecting the defense on a bad throw. If the runner did nothing to actively interfere with the bad throw, I've got nothing.

I think you should have ruled OBS on F3 and awarded the BR home. :cool:

Thanks Steve. I tried to talk it over with my partner after the game, but he ruled it and so it was the law.:rolleyes:

The way I see it, he had no business fishing in your pond.

How dare that player get in the way of a poor throw by the defense? Without the interference, the ball may have kept rolling away from F2 and the runner on 2B could have gone to 3rd. :cool:

Sounds like a textbook example of your partner getting up in your business.

That's a whole 'nother event. I agree.

Did he offer an explanation as to who the h*ll is the retired runner? :confused: In other words, he had no play by making this kind of call! :mad:

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

kcg NC2Ablu Wed Jul 01, 2009 07:38am

Skahtboi Wed Jul 01, 2009 10:20am

Let me add (obviously without fear of contradiction)

1) It was a bogus call
2) Even if it wasn't a bogus call - it was YOUR call to make or not.

Assuming (hahaha) it was an honest mistake by your partner, I would mention it to your assignor - he can straighten the BU out on
1) Knowing his responsibilities
2) Knowing how to apply rules.

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.

As the PU you are the UIC for the game. I would have told my partner to shut his "pie hole" and get his tuchus back out to the "C" position. I would have told the coaches that there was no interference. At this point I would put the runner on 3B if I thought my partner's screw up kept him from advancing to 3B.
