I hope I had a good no call

[midtnump]

Earlier tonight I got a call to fill in in a 13-14 game and rushed out to do it, wound up on the plate. top of 4th VT at bat with 1 out and RI,R2. On base hit up the middle R2 rounds 3rd headed for home CF throws a one hop missle to F2 and I know R2 is  a dead man by 4 steps. F2 runs down the line about three steps to tag , and a train wreck as follows:

R2- sees that he is out slows up last step starts standing up with arms crossed hands at shoulders.

F2- holds his mit out with hand on ball and tags just above stomach.

R2,F2- collision

F2 is smaller his body bends backwards and he grabs R2 shirt, stays half way balanced and starts standing up.

R2- gives a small get off me small shove

F2- returns small shove.

PU-Me, I see trailing runners stop, I yell time and yell at R2, F2 separate now!!!! Order both boys to stand in front of their dugouts.

      Both HC's are hollering for an ejection, I tell both to settle down and I talk to VT HC first.

PU- I tell VTHC I think his player did what he should do to not make it an MC, and I thought that F2 reached out to keep from falling backwards hard to the ground.

       The only thing that I thought was wrong was the small shoves at the end. I call his R2 over and say your not ejected, and repeated what I told VTHC.

PU- I then went to the HTHC and his F2 and told them that he wasn't ejected, and repeated what I told the VT.

 

 

Both teams had zero subs so I hope I was making a good no call on ejection.

I see no issues in how you did this.

 

I will add that subs should play no role in you affirming a participant has ejected himself. If the consequences of his behavior are that his team cannot continue, that's his problem.

tough bananas...don't change how you're supposed to officiate.

[flastyle727]

Good no call w/ that age group.  +1 on the tough bananas w/ regard to subs.

[GoodOldGus]

Sounds like you assessed the situation appropriately and provided good communication to both teams.  Looks good to me!!     I agree with the previous posts about the lack of subs....tough 'nanners!

Not rendering judgement on how YOU handled it. MC is HTBT and judgement. Here is how I personally handle things.

Once the play ends... "TIME!"

Get together out of anyone's earshot and assess/discuss

Once I decide on what I've seen,(in this case, I got nothing) I go back to the plate and continue play. I dont give lengthy discussions on my judgement calls. That might give the impression that I will discuss other judgement calls.

If either tean HC wants an explanation, they get a generic, short one.

YMMV

Aahh the Wisdom of Solomon!!

Good no call,I doubt I have a conversation with either coach. I have a way of saying hey three quick times followed by easy. Sometimes I follow it with," we're good guys."
