That is not proper protocol; the only time umpires are to confer is if the calling umpire asks for such a meeting. The second base umpire is in no position to initiate an overturn of that call, regardless of the correctness of the final rulinLindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-2580523107321310552013-04-27T08:24:40.184-07:002013-04-27T08:24:40.184-07:00i think they got it right.

It's not about whether or not the call is right or wrong at that point, it's more a matter of as a team, we don't get to go back and correct a mistake. While it's in the rules, it's never nice to have pulled on you.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-58664268201229843732013-04-26T16:09:02.479-07:002013-04-26T16:09:02.479-07:00terrible analogy, umpire make the correct call 99%...terrible analogy, umpire make the correct call 99% of the time without getting help, Batters swing and miss 50% of the time and don't get to ask teammates for help and try again.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-10982942868919918232013-04-26T11:04:29.113-07:002013-04-26T11:04:29.113-07:00the bobble, to me, comes when the firstbaseman bri...the bobble, to me, comes when the firstbaseman brings his hands together, after pulling the glove hand up from the dirt. when he brings his hands together, the ball is popping out and he secures it with his barehand.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-79550187497277431292013-04-26T10:26:57.065-07:002013-04-26T10:26:57.065-07:00So...managers want to yell at umps whenever they h...So...managers want to yell at umps whenever they have to change things to get the call right?

At the end of the day, the call reversal was right, runner was indeed safe either because of time play, because of no possession, foot off the base, whatever. He was safe for one reason or another.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-51303028454151687742013-04-26T02:38:18.010-07:002013-04-26T02:38:18.010-07:00Had to do a double take there...
