Make the Call

[kono]

I don't know Roger - you're not convincing me.

In your example of the runner that cuts the corner and ends up at 2nd. Are you going to call her out for cutting that corner? No. You are going to remain silent unless/until there is an appeal. The only thing that cutting the corner did was make it more obvious that she didn't touch the base.

As for the runner at home - you are telling me that if there is no appeal being made and the runner doesn't go back to touch the plate - score the run. In the same situation if the runner "makes it right" - you disallow the run??? Get out the ejection book - you're gonna have your hands full.

BTW: What if any authorative interpretations do we have on this. J/R, JEA, NAPBL, ASA, FED???? No I won't accept UT as an authorative interp.
