[Airborne Butters]

Your probally right. I only caught the jist of the confrence and was distracted watching Star Trek on picture in picture.

The fact was he CALLED the out. Regardless if the catcher could hear him or see him, he signaled to every other damn player on the field that he was out.

When I played ball, the umpire called strike 3 then I'd tag the batter and then he'd be called out. If he had tagged the batter then that'd be the 4th out? Not sure how that works.
