nail on the head

I think you hit it right on the head. He warned me that was fine. Threatening my catcher was not. I have had several people give me suggestions in this thread. Here is one for umpires;
Not all coaches are out to publicly humiliate you. Umpiring is a very difficult job. Most of us understand that. You not only have to see something that happens in a split second, and be responsible for making a quick analysis, and judgement, but you have to be able to back up that judgement with individuals that are probably not going to agree with you anyway. I REALLY DO HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR WHAT YOU DO. Part of your job is dealing with managers that are passionate about the game, and there players. There ar eways that we as managers can deal with you, and visa versa. Just because that you have the final say, pleas edon't abuse that power. If you have a problem bring it up with the manager. If you think you are being shown up in public, talk to the manager, you might just find out that that is not the case.
