[Igotgame911]

I would of called him out but i can see why he called him safe. Tough judgment call

[syxrzacm]

If they get in your face in any intimidating way, eject em. Period.

[syxrzacm]

First play, i would have called him out no problem. He ran out of the base path. Simple call. Don't let the managers change ur mind. Stick to your call and act well with yours and they will respect your call and move on.

why are these so old? Are there any newer ones?

[rumandcoke32]

in argument for min 3 to 4 umpire was out of line he looked like the agresser (my spelling sucks) and there for looked unprofessional play #4 balls and strikes can not be argued after a warning umpire is within his right to eject meaning ejectee must leave all together and not hang out close by play#5 strike batter made an attempt to make contact stike play #6 not a foul ball however any umpire can make that call just judge players reaction again common sense

[rumandcoke32]

ok i don't have audio on this but here goes play #1 safe runner made an attempt to avoid the tag not to run out of the runners lane play#2 out 1st basemans foot not off the bag due to his leg being bent at time of catch (not in the rule book just common sense) had his leg been straight at time of catch means he was reaching too far = foot of the bag play #3 balk pitcher needs to step toward first not wheel around in place it is deceptive to the runner th every definition of a balk

[Parknutzz]

no, i believe it as a way to back up your call. And to let them calm down and if they say anything else ejection. because they do not have the right to question any judgement calls.

Citing 901c is almost always a copout.

[Parknutzz]

But also the umpire has to use the 2 senses sight and hearing. If you hear it then you call it. Go with your judgement when umpiring. 901C in the rule book is personally my favorite

[bigyaz]

This is often impossible for the plate umpire to see, since the batter's body is between him and the ball. A base umpire often has a better view, though in this case it appears he got it wrong.

As the narrator said, it's an extremely difficult call.
