Question
Guest Woe Jest
Worked a USSSA 13U AAA tournament this past weekend. I had an issue with one team's F4. I'd appreciate y'all opinion about how I should have handled it.
R1 stealing F4 gets to 2B late, gloves the throw from F2 behind 2B and is just a bit late on the tag. I safed R1 to all kinds of grief from DT parents. In between innings my partner said that he looked out from there. Next inning, almost the exact same play, but this time I have the tag beating the touch and banged the out. Then another one where F4 took a high throw, but got the tag near enough for me to get the out. In between innings, I'm lamenting to my partner how F4 is making things tough for me. I wondered aloud whether F4 is he's just fv(%ing with me to see how badly I want the out. An inning or so later after a defensive conference, I asked F4 if he could help me out and quit making those plays so close. He says nah. I say, what?. He says, "nah, I'm not done fv(%ing with you". A few innings later, F4 is in good position to take the throw from F2 and is waiting for stealing R1 to arrive. Waits almost too long (maybe it was too long) to get the tag down, but I bang the out. I look at F4 exasperatingly. He says to me, "I own you". I replied "yes, sir", and trotted back to 'A' position.
How would you have handled this ?

If a chicken coop had four doors, would you call it a chicken sedan? Oops, sorry. I thought we were back in the locker room.

My advice would be to tell the truth and not waste people's time here.
