Controversial Call (No Call)?

[MrRabbit]

If she was safe you should have called time long before you did.

These are 10 year old's and I have had them tell me that they were told by the coach to hold the tag until umpire called the runner out.

So nothing else, even calling her safe is going to replace that thought in her mind.

But on the way you handled it good job.

Again, I wrote something confusing because nobody is getting it.

As soon as she slid under F2, I called a Sell Safe, even pointing to the runner getting under the tag.
There was no question about that call. I just didn't emphasize it enough in the message board.


Just out of curiosity, when is it that you think I finally called Safe? No really, I am curious about it.

perhaps it's because the subject of your title of this thread you started implies "no call". it suggests to readers that you made NO CALL.

Play was at the plate, there is still a batter/runner to deal with. What were they doing? If they are still advancing or off base, time should not be called.

Why? We don't call time every time someone is safe.

What reason was there to call time ?
(unless you were going to call interference and then you would have to bang BR, right?

No, Hugo ... you can only call time unnecessarily and then call interference if F2 had gotten up and pegged R1 in the face with the ball.

Damn.... I'm still working on the new mechanics.
Bare with me.
