This is not a problem when on fields that are not completely enclosed and should be part of the ground rules.

It is NOT coaching anyone, but providing the teams with a remedy for a situation that is beyond their control.

And you are full of it if you think anyone is going to believe that you can tell if a ball crossed a line 300' away.

It should be noted that raising a hand is nothing more than an indication that there may be an issue. It does not kill the ball, play or stop the runner. When the play is over, you or your partner can check the ball.

I am not suggesting this be done on the obvious ball entering DBT, but when there may be a question as to the location of the ball.
