Pilsner,

Thanks! I think he believes the base was unoccupied because there wasn't a defender holding the runner on. Unoccupied by a defender, not an offensive player. Although I wouldn't presume to be able to read his mind.

Here's another gem from yesterday. 2 outs, runner on 1st. Popup foul down the right field line, behind first. Clearly foul. R1 runs anyway. As he's rounding second, and the ball lands foul, he yells at the player, "Hey Bobby, its a foul ball. why are you running? please look like you've played a game of baseball before in your life son!".

ouch!
