TWO THINGS:
Working Alone--Something I was taught has always helped me when I did one-man. At the plate meeting, after covering everything, finish with...."Guys, obviously I'm flying solo here, I'll be hustling for you out there, but that means one man calls." And that seemed to always help those times, when a coach would think about coming out on plays (steal at 2nd, lefty pitcher swinging his leg back past the rubber, etc) when you either have to make em long distance, or due to where everyone is, has a different view than you. And if they did come out, I told em what I had from WHERE I was, and that seemed to trigger what I said in the plate meeting in their minds, and their argument quickly lost steam.
His High Holiness--Pay attention to others on this post who tried to help the guy, saying the same thing you did, but in a little more civil tone.
An old saying rings true here......"You dont need to blow someone else's candle out, to make yours shine brighter."
