They make ill-advised plays and we as umpires are the ones who look bad. As a member of my site said, "Anticipating the play is good... anticipating the result of the play is bad." Luckily along with the raise in age comes a raise in their playing ability and baseball logic. Also fortunately I doubt anybody other than you and your partner realized what had happened to you. That's one of the great things about generally going unnoticed on the field. The little things you give yourself grief over, unless it results in a kicked call, go unnoticed by 99% of the people there. Cheers, warren These kids will do that to you.
