[QUOTE="Pharm Frog, post: 841163, member: 34435"] Was not "bang-bang". Just saw the post with the still pic and even that doesn't do it justice as to how "non-close" that play really was. The DVR still facing the right field wall is amazingly clear just how far the ball was from the mitt when Coats touches down. As an umpire, you're taught to watch for the foot to hit and listen for the ball to hit mitt. There's simply no way you can blow a call that badly if you are even close to being "in the game". Even so....if the play is so close that your senses (hearing and sight) can't distinguish, it's common baseball to declare safe as opposed to out. And...you are right. When everyone is hustling, there are very few plays at first base that are decided by a full-step. Given the closing speed of a ball approximately 4-6 feet away, I'd say less than half-a-step is right but that's still not necessarily "bang-bang"....maybe "bang-------bang." :unsure: [/QUOTE]
