Happens when they are trying to sell something nobody is buying!

Actually, just the opposite .... no selling at all .... these "motions/mechanics" are being done on plain old regular easy-routine outs

I appreciate the discussion!  
Thanks all!  Especially you @Thunderheadsfor piling on🙂

So, by rule, the same call should be made if the runner got into a pickle?  JK

I understand the safety aspect which was the purpose of my original response.

Sorry  didn't see you acknowledge that the call was actually correct ... didnt' mean to pile on

@johnnyg08Do you have a clip of the one in NCST-Vandy today?  Believe it was the 7th inning and the announcers were sure that FPSR should have been called.

Not yet. I was umpiring today so I'm watching it on DVR. I'm currently in the B5. I'll have it within the hour. Thanks for the heads up.

It was a late slide but I believe was a correct no-call.

Good for analysis either way...non-calls are just as important to study as calls.

Still firm on the 7th inning?

Yes, I just looked at it on my dvr.  Vandy batting, it ended up being reviewed so it'll be easy to find.

Was that Van Rap?  Dude's a machine.  Good time to call it too, 1st game and all, sends a message that crews are on the lookout.  I'd almost bet if he didn't call it, skips coming out.

Yes...but we all know that when we call FPSR or don't call it, we're getting a visit from the offense OR the defense. Every single time.

Ya, they act all surprised everytime time its called, even if you popped em for it early in a series.  Same with obstruction.  It's like fellas, "you watched the same videos we did at the beginning of the year."

Exactly.
