Thanks for the replies. I realized it of course is better than no game, I was asking for the unbiased views of those who are doing it, what prompted my question was seeing a few vids from a camera behind the plate and the corresponding call by PU seemed to be misaligned so to speak. Glad to hear that in general it's a reasonable place to call from for an experienced umpire.

So I've seen a lot of HS aged games from the NY Metro area where the PU is calling the game from behind the mound. I'm told it's a social distancing effort, wonder if many of you are calling them this way and what your thoughts on how "good" the zone can be called from 65-70' feet away?

I think the highlighted part of the story is the key, the runner was making an attempt to get 2nd, once trucked the kid figures that there's no way he'll make it there, so he moved back to first, 12U ball it's unlikely he'd know the rules well enough to realize he likely has a "free pass" at second if he's thrown out by anything but a huge margin, so in his pre-adolescent brain, "I'm going to make sure I don't make an out"

Wolf is a strong dude

Thank you for your service and sacrifice

Someone making stuff up. Courtesy runner has no effect in subsequent AB for the batter he ran for.

If by scooped you mean off the dirt, it’s uncaught and runner can advanced to first and must be put out. he can run anytime, the question is can the runner advance and be safe

my deepest condolences Steve, may Christine rest in peace and you find comfort as time passes

NY outlets reporting he resigned

I'm a bit late on this, Rush has been on of my favorite bands for 35+ years, I tried to learn to be a drummer after listening to Peart. RIP

ha! maybe if he threw subs instead of baseballs he'd be ok

good luck AA

you're all wrong... Buzz Aldrin would have intercepted it in orbit and given it to his grandson.

Gil did a good video on the play as well

Here are the girls for ya!

also, odd how that's not review-able, seems like a easy one to see on replay

was/is the ball in play would be my first thought?
