THSguy Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Here's my take on the last inning call at the THS-NL game. First of all, I don't think THS would have scored because they haven't been able to hit all year. I too was behind the plate looking down the first base line. The runner was probably inside the line. But that is the home plate umpire's call. That is what he is supposed to be looking for on that play. The field umpire is supposed to be watching the play at first base. The home plate umpire should never have to ask for help on that play, it is his call to make. It doesn't change the fact that the NL catcher had all day to throw the ball and he took his time and made a bonehead throw. Where the runner was had nothing to do with him throwing it well into right field. If he had hit the runner in the back or thrown the ball just to the right or left of the bag at a decent height, then I would consider runner interference. But this guy took all day on the throw and sailed it into right field. You can't argue that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
