"In the vicinity" outs

Does anyone else think a foot should actually be on 2nd when the ball arrives for it to be a legit out? Seriously, if they're that good then make the play legitimately.

I hate the vicinity call. As well as the tie goes to the fielder at 1st.

I also don't want to see a bunch of 2nd basemen and Shortstops get their legs broken.

Teach the kids to touch the base. Teach the pros to touch the base.

It's the not part that bugs me. But hey, I'm not a huge fan of baseball anyhow. But when I do watch, it bugs me. Just like in the NBA where they get away with things kids in lower leagues would not.

volfanbill - You would have loved the Rangers - Angels game last night. Man on 1st and 3rd in the 8th and Vlad hit a grounder to short and Kendrick came off the bag early and the umpire called the runner safe. I immediately thought of this thread. Nice work!

Umpires are taught and will tell you there is no such thing as a tie.
