I did a few of these postings last year just to see what our expert/non-expert panel here had to say. I really wish I had some sound clips from our bleacher umps to add.
#1
Ball is popped up in the air 3rd base makes an attempt to catch ball while one foot in other in foul territory. Drops the ball as it rolls back towards pitcher's circle. If ball was not touched it would have landed foul. What is your call?
#2
Batter swings drives ball directly into home plate but it pops straight up catcher attempts to catch ball but runner proceeds to run to first and runs into catcher. What is your call?
#3
Batter bunts runs towards 1st with no safety bag but is between the lines and gets hit with thrown ball directly in the back. What is your call?
