It wasn’t just one at-bat that was ruined by that decision. –The premise was that “the game is decided by the play.” The night seemed perfect. Fastballs dominate, breaking balls disappear, and batters are not even allowed to react. Everything was proceeding as planned. However, that flow is cut off by a single “sentence,” without a bat being swung or a ball being thrown. So the problem is not judgment. –The fact is that “the match was not settled.” And the atmosphere changes. Protests, noises, anger. The rhythm that had been building up until then fell apart without a sound. After the game, the words became even sharper. Is it an insult or a mistake? Or is it a lack of ideology? Eventually, the discussion reaches one area. –Who do rules exist for? Before the question is answered, only a decision is made. Unusual disposition. A clear line. But it still remains. There is one feeling of discomfort. — Was it the match that really ruined that night? Or was it more about “the fairness I believed in”?
