If neither of them saw it, I'm amazed that they called the out. They're guessing at that point (unless there's more to this play than was told - imagine that).

Dave I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views! Screw green, it ain't easy being blue! I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again. |

I'm not trying to speak ill of my brethren. It happens. We all have brain farts on the field, and some are chock-full of brain diarrhea. If they didn't see it, hey, life will go on. I'm just surprised that they guessed an out, unless something else happened that we're not aware of (maybe BU saw OBS as R1 rounded 2B).

Couple things (trying to put the best shade of lipstick on this pig):
We only have the coach's version of events, including that the umpires were out of position and that the conference took 3 minutes. Let's suppose PU did have a clear (even if lazy) view of the play, but did not call it since it was BU's call (he thought). Let's suppose the "3 minutes" was really 10 seconds of the two umpires staring at each other, 10 seconds hearing the rising din from the fans and coaches, 10 seconds to get together, a minute to discuss who saw what, and 20 seconds to decide whose call it was and announce the call. ~2 minutes gets exaggerated by the coach due to poor credibility due to poor mechanics; but not necessarily the wrong call, or even guessing (except, maybe about whose call it was).

I'll line up with Dakota.
Thats what went down. But I'll add... Reading between the lines, the coach knows the girl WAS in fact out. So they got it right. Of course, given a different circumstance, that coach would claim he would want the umpires to get together and get the call right.
