I am on my phone so I am not going to try and watch the video again. If he is in contact when the trail runner was tagged then fell off then the trail is out. If he fell off before then that tag means nothing.<br /><br />Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2<br /><br />

I have tried to read this thread but it's been too long a day. According to the video Iassonga improperly called the trail runner out. A runner is entitled to a base until he legally attains the next base, he is put out or loses right to the base because of being forced. In this plat R3 started home but stopped and tried to return to third. R2 advanced to third and stood there. When R3 returns, if both are standing on third then R2 is liable to be called out. If the fielder tags R3, then tags R2 then R2 is out unless R3 steps off before R2 is tagged. You could a complete fiasco if you have a smart enough R3. He has to make sure he is touching the base if the fielder tries to tag him but be quick enough to step off when the fielder tries to tag R2. He could theoretically step on and off and never get an out.

The only thing I saw was he was deeper than he usually is built that was his choice not a necessity.<br /><br />Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2<br /><br />

Are asking if he calls that strike three wouldn't have they been out of the inning? Is so then yes, but if there is no error at first you get the same result. I have been reading the comments on Gil's site and of course they are vilifying the call. C.B. is the most inconsistent ball/strike umpire, they say. If you look at the graph, which everyone wants to reference, he had a good game. The pitch was in the statistical borderline so whichever way he called it the computer would say he was right. Then the catcher pulls the pitch, ball.

Their head really would have blown up if they called IFF and the outfielder had called him off at the last minute.

No. There were two outs so the batter would be out if INT was called. @baseballfan It's a matter of he enforcement, it's the requirement on the player. In other words the basis of judgment is different. In 6.06c, he needs to not move, by moving it is likely interference. Once the ball gets away, not moving is likely interference, but it does require him time enough to clear.

I know you are kidding, at least I hope so, but if that is true then your quality in the first game needs to go up. Yeah, I was thinking if you aren't very good when you start, the quality can't go down.

What you are seeing Jeff is the umpires are stepping in to make the call, therefore there is no need to step to make the call.

I don't agree with the call but just because it's Angel there is no need for a beheading.

That's not a mechanic at any level and would unfairly advantage the offense. And, there's nothing to sort out. Look, you don't like how it was handled because your team lost. Fine, I get that. But the crew did fine under the circumstances, and you're wrong to blame them for the loss. You don't change mechanics because something unusual happens. I agree with you on this. What I do disagree with is the Delay of Game penalty or the lack of control for the last 18 seconds, to include the U not setting the ball and holding "the stop sign" as the clock expired. Bottom line: Wisconsin lost because they poorly executed the play, not to mention, they should have kicked the FG instead of running an additional play. The officials did not create the loss, they just didn't perform well during the final 18 seconds and have been penalized as such by the PAC 12 No. Wisconsin executed just fine. They kneeldown was over with 15 seconds left on the clock. The officials failed to spot the ball before the clock hit zero. Wisconsin was ready to spike it with 10 seconds left. 18 seconds is more than enough time to center the ball and spike, barring the officiating meltdown that happened. The fact the the Badgers were unable to attempt a field goal is entirely on the officiating crew. You evidently are such a fan that you can't see the light. The QB said he screwed up and will do differently from now on. The WI QB learned that if you are going to take a knee, do exactly that, leave no doubt. Once down, hand the ball to the umpire, he is the guy spotting it. DO NOT LAY IT ON THE GROUND! Get your team rallied and lined up, make the officials aware you are trying to align, not mill aimlessly, show some urgency. Better yet, maybe the coaching staff learned to just kick the damn field goal. The ball was on the 15, that's a chip shot, even in college. So I have a question, you wanted the officials sanctioned for the horribly unprofessional handling of the last fifteen seconds, Does the same apply to the WI coaching staff? Apparently they didn't teach their offense how to handle the situation. They don't trust their kicker. They didn't teach their QB how to handle his team or communicate with the refs. They didn't teach him to call two plays in the huddle. See how ridiculous that position is. If they were going to sanction anybody then sanction the White Hat. However, as any experienced official knows, surprise is our enemy. The way the QB downed the ball was weird. It created surprise and confusion, which lead to the officials taking too long and the clock running out.

For anybody with NBC Sports, AAA Championship is on. Durham vs Omaha

MLB supplies video of every game every umpire does. They get reports from from supervisors regularly. They do suspend umpires for misapplying rules. What else would you suggest they do, public floggings? MLB umpires rarely make mistakes, their percentages are really amazing. When they do miss one, it is usually big. This wasn't even that big a deal. He judged a swing, you disagreed.

Six plates in a row is idiotic and any assigner that even considered asking me to do that would be an assigner I am not working for.

Cocking is probably not enough, but any follow through is certainly enough.

That's what we do on here. Umpiring can be a humbling avocation. Sorta like playing golf.

My thought when I posted it.

The interesting thing is it is a ball in Fed.

That's interesting that he does routinely.

What prefer to do when I assign tournaments, when possible, is to have a couple of extras that can give guys games off during the day. It means the guys are doing four instead of five but they also don't get killed with a long day.

Just a collection of nice plays and some good calls.

@Fittske24, I disagree 6.06c comes back into play. Once the ball gets away and the catcher has to chase then 6.06c is off the table. There is a host of other rules that can cover it depending on what happens. 7.08b,g 7.09c
