Episode Synopsis

In a recent game between the Reds and the Braves, where Braves' first basemen Matt Olsen was awarded an inside-the-park home run, I think that the umpires missed the opportunity to apply Rule 5:12 (b) (3). In my opinion, Olsen should have been awarded two bases and no runs allowed, in the spirit of the game and in the name of player safety, which should be the #1 priority of the game at all levels. This episode begins with an anecdote where a little-league umpire called time when he should have let play proceed.
