Again, I thought you Cajuns were experts in baseball.

If an umpire signals before the play is complete then he did his job incorrectly.

From the MLB rules book:
http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/downloads/y20...ball_rules.pdf

Under "GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO UMPIRES" on Page 97

"Do not come running with your arm up or down, denoting “out” or
“safe.” Wait until the play is completed before making any arm motion."

so the game would continue indefinitely with no signal, and no time out could be called for anyone to see about an injured player? why aren't they still at the stadium now, then, since the play is still not over according to you....

I agree the ump didn't do his job correctly, but it was not for the reason you site.
in his mind he did do it correctly to adhere to his marching orders to always protect the flagship

Can't argue with that, case closed.

Bye Felicia.

Better you spend your time helping to ensure that you hillbilly idiots don't kill a third 'live' mascot.

Ignore the idiot hillbilly troll. Please.

You can ignore him if you like. You can also ignore my post stating the same thing. DJDAWG is absolutely correct. No safe sign should have been given.

(and for those of you who want to say, yeah, but what about.....the safe call on the dropped third strike is the same as the safe call on a trapped ball. It means there was no catch.)

so wouldnt it make sense that his safe call was in reference to no catch once he sees the guy didnt hang on?

[31Ragin97]

did the coastal Carolina coach discuss or appeal or argue the play with the umpires? I couldn't find any mention or quotes in articles.

also given that the requirements for tagging a base are quite different than for tagging a runner or even for making a catch, does anyone else think the fielder simply made the out in the first place?

granted I wish I could find a video link that is longer, begins earlier (runner also seems to have been out of runner's lane) and stays with the play longer hopefully until time is called.

Oh, we are in absolute agreement about the incorrect call. We just don't need some idiot fro LTU-R to discuss it here. We can do just fine without them. JS

Exactly.
