WCWS Championship, game 2, Oh boy!!!!!!!!

The only shot I saw on the replay was when he went out and had his left arm extended and was looking back briefly. My first thoughts was he was calling an IP but yes, since it was a homerun a mute point.

On the play at second, yes she was safe but you could see he made the call on the run. That always makes it tough when you are moving to get all of the elements of the play.

Think the view may have been different from the inside with the play coming toward the umpire instead of from behind?

Inside or outside, you can blow the call on either side if you do not get a good angle. I would have gone inside on that play especially if the runner headed straight to second.

I almost forgot to report that I learned a new mechanic last night.
When you call a BR out at 1st, concurrently with the hammer signal, raise your left foot forward and up almost to knee height.

Sorry, but I gotta...

So, what your saying is he gave the signal but didn't verbialize it?
